If you read the scoring objects from left to right, you can see the lyrics to the next FIRST anthem.

In between each match, Daryl would show off the dance moves he learned at Engineering College.

Note: this event had the fastest match cycle time of the season

The blue jean alliance was unable to prevent the red alliance from scoring a lot. Although no one can confirm if they stopped them from placing the last tube behind their robot.

*not a submission*
Can someone elaborate on the impetus behind the various rules? I feel like there's some pretty great back story on some of them.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #573
 

Here we see a demonstration of some of the many valuable FIRST skills developed by volunteers:

You put your right hand in,
You put your right hand out,
You put your right hand in,
And you shake it all about,

You do the hokey pokey
and you turn yourself around
That what it's all about.

Oooh boy. I think I can, but some of them you just have to look up the contest.

Starting with: The BIWWTM Rule, and its counterpart, The OTHER BIWWTM Rule (never invoked). These give Billfred flexibility in judging timeline, because, well work happens. The OTHER in this case allows Billfred the flexibility to give over control of the contest to some other player temporarily.

-infinity is if somebody REALLY gets Billfred hard, he retaliates. (I should probably pipe down here, because I think I might have one coming my way...).

The Koko Ed Rule was enacted to repeal Rule 2 and Rule 3, after Ed entered one with him in it.

The OTHER Heidi Foster Rule was enacted as a precaution. Billfred was a little late with the judging of a contest around the time of IRI, and somebody made some snide remark about kidnapping him. Somebody else (initials: HF) made some corny remark about only talking about such a plan... So the rule went into place.

I'm not sure about the Heidi Foster Rule.

Incidentally, the burn award was originally a docking of points, awarded to none other than Heidi Foster (for calling Dave Lavery an "unskilled fool with exotic tools", tools in question being a squirt gun).

That was originally a joke--Heidi Foster, longtime mentor for 116, was one of the early big entrants in the contest. Her arch rival Gary Dillard, then of S.P.A.M. before moving onto a few other teams in Florida and Alabama, got within one win of taking the lead if she didn't enter. So I was just being nice. Of course, by contest 28...

(You'll note that all these rules came into effect in the first year of the contest. I hadn't even set my mind on resetting points, let alone year 12!)

..as does the interpretation of "Sunday" :rolleyes: . But hey, I know I could not do it better, so I am not complaining.

Anyway, my entry for s12e1:
Josh puts several on the drying rack, hoping they'll shrink in an attempt to get one just "this big".
