I wondered why I saw 148's robot inside of yours.

lol I remember the MC on Galileo saying something like "only here on Galileo is there a robot birth"

Hmm...I always wondered what 148's bot looked like on the bottom...that was a very good robot.

And that he didn't think that 148 being supported by 121 was "a legal starting position"...only in Atlanta...:cool:

This is certainly not the bottom facing the camera. It lacks rotary to linear motion converters (wheels).

I would guess (based on the lack of flag holder/ball knocker) that either their flag holder/ball knocker is easily added/removed or this is a spare chassis.

It was a spare chassis. I was setting up our robot for that match when I saw 148 in 121. I was confused for a second because I thought 148 was on our alliance. Then I looked around and saw 148 right next to us against the wall. Strange sight to behold

No no no... you've all got it wrong. They are pretending to be a Kangaroo & a Joey in honor of the new New Zealand* Regional next year. :p








*There are kangaroos in New Zealand as well as Australia right?
Because if not, there goes the basis of this whole joke... lol

I always wondered if one of the hurdlers would try to catch one of those little running bots and hurdle them.

I wanted that to happen at first , but realized the robot carnage that would happen (even to something wicked sweet like 148's machine) after a 7-or-so foot drop would probably make me cry.

Actually- in our scouting conference we talked about about starting a match carrying or dragging 148 in robocoach mode and scoring double for our lap of the field and then toppling them out once robocoach period was over.

However our alliance captain had different idea for alliance partner choices so it never came to be.

The 1114-217-148 alliance was one of the strongest ever in a FIRST competition. They deserve the highest congratulations!!!

That's why you need to place them on the overpass. It prevents the carnage and gives you more points :P

Just as a side note Rick handed me 148s frame once it was taken out before the match, It weighted next to nothing. I've held control decks heavier. Good job 148!

some how i don't think you would get anything but disqualified for hurdling or place and opponent robot on the overpass. it is not Grasiously Professional or safe.

^That was the sound of something passing overhead, but it definitely wasn't a robot ;)
