As always, the deadline is theoretically Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

[EricH]

Announcer: It seems that the blue alliance is a set of super robots, but they are not scoring any points right now.
Ted: What?? We don't get creativity points???
Announcer: The AI in blue robot 2 would appear to be flawed. On the other hand, congratulations to team 237 on adding a voice component to this unit!
Mike: That was so my doing!
Announcer:...One robot programming another???? Wow...

FRC 2009 Game Hint #1

[ShaneP]

All we need now is some sand...

[Rick TYler]

See, if it was a water game, and we used tetras again, it would look just like this in the reflection!

[artdutra04]

This, along with a lot of Team 190's robots, can all be explained by one thing: there must be something in the water at WPI.

It inspires people to think outside of the box tetra, and even sometimes the laws of physics (well, almost).



Billfred, did you purposely coordinate Contest #190 with a picture from BattleCry@WPI, which is hosted by FRC Team 190? Or was I the first person to notice the coincidence?

[kramarczyk]

Team 237 prepares for thier halftime show, "A Tribute to Dangerfield", featuring the infamous Triple Lindy Tetra Capping routine.

[Wayne Doenges]

In an effort to reverse the power of the pyramid Team 237 attempts to balance inverted pyramids on top of upright pyramids. There is speculation that should they succeed, the universe will unravel and life as we know it will cease to exists. But that is the worst case scenario.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

This is the setup for the great Team 237 lunchtime act.

Watch now as the "Tumbling Bouchers jump through the tetra hoops"... This new feat of geometric prestidigitation never before performed in front of a live audience here are the "Tumbling Bouchers"!...The Bouchers!...How about a hand for the stage crew....

[GaryVoshol]

Due to a weird space-time continuum divergence, 237 read the rules for Stack Attack instead of Triple Play. They couldn't understand why all their posts on CD refering to "balance problem" were met with the equivalent of an electronic shoulder shrug. When they got to the competition and started their pre-game stacking practice everyone went, "Oh, I get it now." Awesome team that they are, they quickly modified their robot to play Triple Play, but kept the tetra-balancing routine as an audience-pleasing sideshow.

And by my calculations, Billfred will have to create a Team 1025 - themed contest the last week of February, 2024. I'm not sure if that's a scary or inspiring thought.

What (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38089)? Me coordinate (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40462) a caption (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60101) contest (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60264) with a team (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49134) number (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57348)? Never (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48688)!

Hey! No fair using magnets!

[KathieK]

C'mon guys, the IRI talent show is only a few weeks away... point those toes! Next, Plie! Now glissades... oh, forget it!

[Taylor]

I believe they need to rethink their efforts in the quest for the Uncappable Stack.

[Travis Hoffman]

Like sands through the hourglass (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og7-6YubuS4&feature=related)(es)......these are the dorks of our lives.
