I feel like this should be on tshirts.

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

When I'm eating ice cream with loved ones, one of my favorite things to do is to trade and share. Somewhere is a photograph that I think exemplifies summer. It's an empty bowl with about a half dozen spoons in it.

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

What I don't get are the folks that keep pushing on the door to the ice cream shop when the door is clearly labeled, "PULL".

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

I had no idea so many people like Ice Cream on CD.

Maybe those people should start an ice cream thread :ahh:

In the meantime, can we channel this discussion back to TRR ?

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

Good luck to all the teams at this event.
I wish we could go, but the robot shipping logistics nightmare is just too much to worry about.
We intend to just do IRI the week before as we try to find possible alternatives to not having the same shipping company handle our robot just for that event.

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

You will be missed. But I think you need to keep a little sanity. Traveling back and forth over 5 time zones have got to wear a person down.

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

Well, that is our loss. Seriously. I was really hoping you guys could make it to TRR. That would truly be amazing.

P.S. Good luck at IRI. Bring it.

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

I was really looking forward to getting a better look at you guys at TRR. I didn't get a chance to get a closer look at your robot at Lone Star. I did enjoy talking with one of your mentors and was hoping to speak you all again. Hopefully you guys can make it next year.

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

Jess,

I ran out of ice cream, so can you give us any new updates on the team list?

Thanks.

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

Thanks Jess.

Where is Team Black Hawk?

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

Ooops.. I forgot

Nevermind.

Time to go get some more ice cream!

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

Were going to IRI - as well as Ozark. We didn't really have the funds or time to attend 3 off seasons - and the team wanted to travel a bit. Its not anything against TRR, we love it :) maybe/hopefully next year!

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

Hey Jess,

My team was wondering if there is going to be a table provided to the teams or do we have to plan on bringing our own.

Re: 2012 Texas Robot Roundup
 

Since 624 is attending IRI, too, the week before attending this event--and we plan to drive up in vehicles--we'd be MORE than happy to extend our help to you guys by bringing 359's robot/supplies back with us to Texas after IRI if you guys supply the trailer (i.e. you guys rent a trailer of the correct size in Indianapolis that we can haul back to Houston with us).

You guys have been fantastic all season, and we'd love to see you back in Texas! If this seems like an attractive/reasonable offer, let us know. 624 would be honored to help you in any way.
