PNW Noodle Death Count
![]() No totes or bins were harmed in the making of this week :yikes: |
Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
That's not too bad, actually. I was expecting tons of crushed noodles.

Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
Watching some of the Oregon City matches on the PNW FIRST Robotics Youtube page, I did notice significantly less noodle throwing than at Auburn Mountainview, and these numbers seem to support that. I get the feeling as the season goes on we'll see higher and higher noodle fatalities at events.

Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
We may have been responsible for a couple of those:D
|
Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
I think these numbers might say something about the cultural differences between the states of Washington and Oregon.
Anyone want to throw out some stereotypes by way of explanation? |
Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
The violence against these defenseless noodles needs to stop. Time for a custom team pin.....

Jab aside, Auburn had a lot of very good teams attending who likely understood the value of noodle throwing and had practiced it (this is the key). Once other teams saw the value, everyone started doing it at Auburn. The top teams at Oregon City didn't really throw noodles, and I think that is why we didn't see much noodle throwing at that event. Expect that to change when Wilsonville rolls around next week. |
Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
I find it ironic how the game "Recycle Rush" can create so much waste.

Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
Ah, I see. I support recycling glass and metal, but from the informal research I've done and the discussions with my cousin who is a former productions manager at Crystal Geyser, the process of recycling plastics can be fairly atrocious to people and the environment. But this is not the point of this thread, so I won't discuss the topic of the ecological harms of plastic in general any further. I'm for biodegradable plastics, though.

Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
Death to the NODDLES!
|
Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
Not nearly as bad as I though it would be.
|
Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
What would be really bad is when noodles would be blocking the path to the coopertition stacking... Kinda defeats the purpose, but it happened on multiple occasions.

seems pretty high actually. IIRC, at the Indy District, we killed 12 and we had about 80 matches as well (a handful of practice, 68 quals, and elims of course). Or maybe we got lucky. Next week we'll see in Kokomo I guess.

I have a feeling we will start seeing agreements made between alliances to not throw noodles until co-op is finished. The noodles can be worth valuable points, but unless your human player is consistently landing them on the opposite side of the field, co-op is more valuable. |
Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
After the events, who is responsible for all the recycling of the noodles? Are they sent back to HQ?

Any remaining at the end of the event can be taken to a local recycling center. They are Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE/number 4). If no one volunteers to take them, they can be loaded onto the truck and again placed at pit admin at the next event. Any that make it back to FIRST HQ at the end of the season will be taken to be recycled. Throwing the noodles away should be last resort. |
Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
Recycling was detailed in this blog: District Ranks, Events, and Pool Noodle Recycling

Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
Let us not forget the amount of bots murdered by the noodles :). I think they just get in the way. When 144s bot came back we had a few chunks of noodle stuck deep inside our omni wheels

Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
Not just noodles - have NEVER seen TRASH cans so full of recyclables and returnables as we just did at one of our districts! Seriously, the number of pop bottles alone in the trash could've financed build season pizza for a team, easy!
