[Andy Grady]

Hi all!

Here are todays 3 Questions. I will let the game run until I get home tonight, instead of letting it run until I leave work, that way more people can get in on it. Good luck!

Question 1: Carlo Bertocchini, driver and creater of Champion Battlebot, Biohazard was a coach for what national championship winning FIRST team?

Question 2: What computer device was included in kits as a whole unit up through 1995?

Question 3: How did 1994 Champion, "Sunny Delight" deliver balls into the goal during "Tower Power"?

Doh!

You're supposed to answer BEFORE reading the other responses!
Otherwise, it takes all the fun out of it...


(I still say Carnevale is gonna own you... ;))

The answer is yes, Baker, you do get the points. But the question is, how many of those questions did you get right? Better have alot of faith in John's knowledge of history ;)

BTW, I have changed my mind again, I will be posting the answers before I leave work today, as I am going out tonight and probably wont return in time for me to be awake enough to post them!

P.S...

Bonus question for 1 "Brownie Point", In the finals in 1995, what was the name of the robot (not the team) that Carlo's team defeated for the championship? ;)

[ColleenShaver]

1. Raychem & Woodside HS from California
2. Line Printer!
3. They shot them in. They had a sprial holding device and just pulled up to the bottom of the goal and shot them in with awesome accuracy. One of the greatest robots I've ever seen :)

BP: (I'm gonna be sooo mad if this is wrong, cause I should know it and I'm not sure if it's right but I gotta guess) The Bopper

[Andy Grady]

Todays answers:

1. Rachem and Woodside High School, "Stealth"

2. Dot Matrix Printer, I will accept any form of printer answer.

3. Sunny D catapulted balls into the goal.

Bonus answer no one got right, though Colleen was close. It is "The Big Bopper" named after the famous radio DJ.

Todays winner with 10 points is JVN!!!

Overall standings will be posted tommorow

[ColleenShaver]

AHHHH! I had "Big Bopper" written.. and I thought, no, that's the guy who died with Buddy Holly and them.. I should have gone with the first instincts!

Good questions Andy!!
