2013 FRC Kickoff Discussion "ULTIMATE ASCENT"
 
Topic title is self-explanatory, a little over 30 minutes to go! Let's just have a thread to keep all the discussion of what's going on at kickoff in this one thread.


Excited, as always.

Wooo...exciting! Anyone know if there's a FIRST wiki site? Trying to look at some previous year's ideas to potentially incorporate them into this year's game.

Most likely on the FIRSTworldTube youtube channel.

What a spoiler!

Astrokid248 05-01-2013 10:35
Oh wow this is dorkier than usual. Pyramids of Giza greenscreened? SMH.
On the other hand they prerecorded Dean, which actually makes what he's saying sound really cool. Like the bit about his brother's work and how engineering affects it.

Steven Donow 05-01-2013 10:35
Re: 2013 FRC Kickoff Discussion
 
Blair. Egypt. In front of a pyramid. 3. My guess? Climb on a wireframe period, the higher rung you're on, the more points.

3? pyramids?? SHOVELS?!?

is this archaeology based? Are we digging in the pyramids of Giza; the Three Kings?

Tetraman 05-01-2013 10:37
Re: 2013 FRC Kickoff Discussion
 
haha, you could hear a phone vibrating while Dean is talking.


"We've been working on a water project for years" -Dean

Out of context that is a dangerous thing to say.

So far I have freaked out twice:
1) when Dean mentioned that he built amplifiers (NEW QUEST!)
2) when Dean mentioned the water game!

Minibot endgame? I can't see big robots doing that because of safety, but minibots could totally do it...
