ummmm.....
 

Please tell me you're kidding Brian, please...

Please tell me that you're joking......

haha this is really amusing....i hope people arent serious about some of this...

I remember someone posting about this last year. The post is at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/wwwboard-...2001/5588.html.

I wonder if he was serious...

it makes a big difference after you drain the battery and drill many holes. it only weighs about 5 pounds when you're done:D :p

I'm a relatively new member of the forum here, so that was the first time I've seen that board style - wow a lot of changes have been made :) Anyway, how in the world did you remember/find that post?!? I couldn't remember what I did last week if not for my brain (my Palm Pilot).

The brain trust at team #64 (who look like Larry, Curly, and Moe) are toying with making this years robot inflatable to save weight. The idea of drilling holes in the robot may come in handy.

if you go to the main chiefdelphi.com page, there is a 'site-search' box at the top, where you can search the whole site (minus these forums). That will search the past 2 or 3 years of forums.

thats a link to the search page.

we have too much time...
 

Well, people like Joe Ross and I used to do this a lot... especially joe... Basically we just remember every thread that happened all these years... and remember some details to help us search for it. Things like date, poster, and some key words definitely help the search. But the truth is that we have a little too much time.

I am suspecting Jay and Clark have too much time too... It's good to know people are picking up our jobs. ;) ;) ;)

I don't know how I remembered that. It's probably because it was such a strange idea.

I just did a search on "battery holes" and it showed up. :D

Safety FIRST
 

You people obviously do not know why the battery has that nice big plastic case on it. The plastic case is to insure that air does not mix with the acid, which would accelerate combustion. NEVER EVER COMPROMISE THE SEAL OF THE BATTERY WILLINGLY!!! I am an automotive technician, and I know my batteries. Don't puncture it! It's sealed for a reason!

but....but.....but.....
 

Doesnt this look like fun?!?!?

:confused: :confused:










Just messin' with ya Dan

:D


(edit: the red X's shouldnt be like that for long)

Re: we have too much time...
 

Now, I have to know...do you guys remember specific dates too (like bdays and anniversaries :p)?? 'Cause if you do, why aren't there more like you?!?!

But, anywho, that whole thing from the old post really makes you wonder why they would drill holes into their battery. I would be afraid to touch my battery with any sharp object!! :)

I'm soo happy I'm not a rookie reading this forum because I'd first end up drilling my battery with a drill press and destroy my pnumatics with holes in the wrong spots

how about we get back to helping the rookies
(although i did have quite a few laughs
maybe some one should create a new string to debate the issue of the battery holes);)
