Due to the usage of STEAM in the 2017 FRC game, safety measures have to be improved. Here we see the beta test of the new Alliance Station, complete with vision obstructions that haven't been cleared by Field Reset yet.

And here we see the wild and elusive driver's team in a futile attempt to play the 2016 game with the Portcullis and the Drawbridge in play.

Don't worry, their just trying to prove they are the dominant drive team :D

When you realize you've given your safety captain way too much power.

But would a fan still be a pneumatic device if there is no air?

Team 2252 getting ready for the new version of the portcullis at their next offseason: The Garage Door.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #646
 

I am sure we can make this garage door open with just a bit more tweaking to our code (as they later learn it is just a manual garage door).

In Florida, this is what happens when your playing field is outside and it's 50 degrees.

The throwing star game piece has forced teams to find an alternative place to safely practice.

Coach: "If you can pass this limited-visibility driving test, you'll do just fine on the real field..."

I knew there would be a star-shaped piece in 2017! Though hopefully one less dangerous... :p

In this photo, you can see members of the GDC testing out the prototype pressure vessel field for Steamworks.

So this is what happens when we keep screaming inside...we get locked outside, and have to control the robot from there
