Hey all, could you give a brief description of what you think of T3?

I have admired your team since I started 2002. You guys have a great team with students that don't let it get to their head. Some of the other larger teams get arrogant. Your team has always been respectful and a great team to play with. Best of luck to you guys.

I still can picture the 2002 robot holding on to (2) 120 lbs goals and rotating them around the whole robot. It was the best design I have seen.

By the way way are you guys designing this year. LOL Good luck and keep up the good work.

I think that I like your logo and that you should change your team name back to Truck Town Terror.

Beyond that, I plead the fifth and refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me.

Oh my God...one of the Big 60's is asking us how they're doing? That's...unprecedented!

In other news...

While many seem to believe that big corporate sponsorships make the bot on well-to-do teams, I can't deny that your bots in years past have definitely been innovative, as well as given us ideas on our bots for later games.

It's been said before and it'll be said again:

"Nobody pushes Truck Town... Nobody"

On another note, Truck Town is role model team both on and off the court. They've been supporting the Waterloo Regional since 2005 doing whatever they can to help the local teams, while inspiring them with their unpushable and complex robot designs.

I think there is some assume pictures of their robot making the carpet look like the ocean from a few years ago. Nothin but traction and power. Were they the ones that made FIRST started putting Velcro on the bottom of the field walls to help stop the carpet from curling up.

I always think of this robot (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/14988) and how they changed the rules because of it

Is there anything that we could improve for all of you? Anything you want to do different? Anything you would like us to help with?

I don't know about improving, but all I know (from people who have actually seen it in person) is that you guys have one of the best and strongest drive trains around. But then again that's why everyone agrees that Truck Town doesn't get pushed around.
Was there any particular question that you wanted asked about your team?

technically that rule already existed, but it's probably best to avoid rehashing that episode again.
