In this album, you can see Hall of Fame team 597 as well as team 1836!

Cooler Master is proud that so many of its sponsored teams are involved with this. It is great to see FIRST and robotics on television.

Re: FIRST on "The Fosters" - Monday Nights on FreeForm 8e/5p Starting Tonight!
 

Interesting team number, 3702. Would have been a rookie year of 2011. There is a team 3701 and 3703, but no 3702 according to McLeod's AllTeamEver spreadsheet. Wonder why the one team gap in the team numbers.

Re: FIRST on "The Fosters" - Monday Nights on FreeForm 8e/5p Starting Tonight!
 

Possibly a would-be rookie 2011XXXX that never finished registration (never paid?) and never competed because of that. Pesky placeholder numbers. I've seen that sort of thing in several places.

Smart move to use a team number that was never used in reality for the show--I'd guess that FIRST suggested that one, but I'm probably wrong.

Re: FIRST on "The Fosters" - Monday Nights on FreeForm 8e/5p Starting Tonight!
 

Yep, Team 1836 is there repping those classic red team shirts. Unfortunately, I could not be there because of age rules and work, but I heard that it was an amazing experience for everyone involved and am really happy that FIRST was represented on mainstream TV!

Pretty sure those bumper numbers are not to spec

Re: FIRST on "The Fosters" - Monday Nights on FreeForm 8e/5p Starting Tonight!
 

No one is wearing safety glasses...

::ouch::

Re: FIRST on "The Fosters" - Monday Nights on FreeForm 8e/5p Starting Tonight!
 

Sadly, though, they're more legible than half the bumper numbers I've seen over the years... If the spec was "visible from a distance", they'd pass!


@FIRSTonTV, that little discussion about the robot weight is FAR too typical! Can't say I've been in those myself, but as an inspector I've had to tell someone they were overweight. Though I will say that for half a pound most teams would reach for a drill instead of removing parts.

Jokes aside, the attention to detail is quite impressive

Re: FIRST on "The Fosters" - Monday Nights on FreeForm 8e/5p Starting Tonight!
 

Just a random observation: 207's (or 3702 as it is portrayed in the show) bot already has pretty aggressive lightening/pocketing on the superstructure (and I assume the rest of the robot), so removing a non-functional component may have been necessary. Just a thought.

Re: FIRST on "The Fosters" - Monday Nights on FreeForm 8e/5p Starting Tonight!
 

I know. (And trust me, the hanger was functional during the actual season. On the other hand, I'm not entirely sure when it became functional.)

But there are a few places that don't have holes yet, just a matter of whether they can be reached easily with a drill bit. That's the "experienced cheese-holer" talking.:rolleyes:
