To bad they have a tough time on agreeing on something.

If congress were building an FRC robot, it would take them 8 weeks to decide which robot controller to use.

No, you're going about it all wrong. They'd spend all build season finding the most ridiculous loopholes and rules, then trying to disqualify every other team in the competition, without even building a robot of their own.

Nobody wins, but at least they made the other teams look bad.

On the contrary, they have far too easy a time agreeing on something. A couple of things, actually.

"We disagree!" and "It's THEIR fault!", to be exact.

Now if only they could agree to pass a budget, and stick to it...

Does this mean we'll get to see Overkill at Madtown in a few weeks?

And so follows the combination of "sick!" and "aw man..." that comes when I hear we're competing against 254...

It'll be a tough competition for sure, but I always love seeing them compete (dat climb doe).
