Qotw [01-05-03]: top 5 things in your mind...
 
Hi all. Just went to San Jose Kickoff and saw the game of 2003 at 9am in the morning... Wow! What amazing changes to the game. A lot of people asked me the same question after we saw the game, so I figure it would be good for a question of the week...

Here it is...

Question 01/05/03: What's the top 5 things in your mind when you saw the game at kickoff?

Have fun~! And good luck with the 6 weeks build period.

Top 5 thoughts running through my skull
 
1) Human players on the field? Can you spell delay?
2) No drivers for fifteen seconds? Lego?
3) If FIRST has problems with thier robots, how are we going to do it?
4) y=ax^2+bx+c. WRONG. y=mx+b. RIGHT.
5) ...Overload...
...Overload...
...Impending doom...
"They're coming to take me away he, he, ha, ha, to the happy home withs bushes and trees and chirping birds and basket weavers that twiddle thier thumbs and toes! They're comin gto take me Away!"

1.) WOW!!!! tupperware...........
2.)oh god, is it an omen that FIRST's robots didn't work?
3.) Looks like a killfest
4.)KILLFEST!!! ME LIKES KILLFEST
and finally 5.)I'm hungry

1)Man this is going to be easy
2)Man the programing dudes are going to go nuts
3)At least I'm not programing
4)Did I forget to mention that at least I'm not programing
5)Heheh I'm going to drive the programmers nuts.

1) What is with y = ax^2 + bx + c? Total Lie!!!
2) Oooh, bins, cool!
3) Hey, 50mph bins!
4) Autonomous mode: neat!
5) More involving for the human players.

Yan Wang 05-01-2003 11:51

1) What kickoff? 14" of snow somewhat shut off power around here.
2) Ack, I'm not gonna get any sleep with that autonomous mode.
3) Someone get me a digital copy of the kickoff! monsieurcoffee@yahoo.com to tell me!
4) y does not equal ax2+bx+c
5) w00t... free 2.4ghz computer at march.

1)Ax^2+Bx+C is the right equasion. (how else can you get a curved line? Y=Mx+B is a liner...

Ax^2 = 4 robots on the Milk-Plastic

Bx = The Stacked boxes

C = Boxes on the ground...

2)I can't wait till i get out there
3)Wodie is a pimp with a name like that
4)Dean looks like he is gonna croke any time now..
5)I Don't wanna program (heh, Dave...)

That doesn't make sense either!

AdamT 05-01-2003 12:23

1) OH SNAP!
2) Boxes? NICE
3) HEY, IT'S DAVE
4) lets find an algorythm for scoring
5) Why don't we have donuts?

Brandon Martus 05-01-2003 12:27

Sadly, I slept through the webcast.
But I did have 5 things on my mind yesterday... so I'll contribute


1) [12 noon] Wow. 50some people online. Cool.
2) [5:00pm] Im hungry. I'll go to dinner & buy some ps2 stuff.
3) [8:00pm] Woah. 120 users. Uh-oh.
4) [8:01pm] How can a webserver be working on 15k of memory. Oh. Its not.
5) [3:00am] Oh my. in the past 2 days, we have had 1/2 of the total posts in 1999.. yikes.

Jeff Waegelin 05-01-2003 12:40

1) Wow, I think I've seen that idea somewhere...
2) Hmm... autonomous mode... that sounds nice
3) Oh, no! Now I actually have to program something!
4) Easy, yet so complex
5) What does the quadratic formula have to do with scoring?

Ricky Q. 05-01-2003 12:49

1) I knew that sponsor animation was a clue!
2) Where the heck are we gonna build that ramp?
3) How encouraging, FIRSTs bots don't work :p
4) How many bins are we going to break this year?
5) Pretty carpet....

Joel J 05-01-2003 14:28

[list=1][*]Wait, you mean those aren't the kit of parts hanging out on the playing!?[*]LEGO League is taking over![*]I am supposed to program the robot to do this!?[*]Polyethylene!?[*]::evil::[/list=1]In that order, with the same confusion.

hacksaw692 05-01-2003 15:34

the voices went on a rampage when i saw the game. but this is the general idea that i gathered from their ranting:

1. *blinks and stares in awe* :confused:
2. *blinks again* uhm... erm... uh oh...
3. *stares* bins...? what happened to the balls?
4. *falls over* autonomous mode?! that's not very nice. too bad for the programmers.
5. *stays fallen over and wants to sleep* i'm tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired. brain doesn't want to think through this now... (we left at 3am so that we could get to san jose by 5am *grumbles*)

Not2B 05-01-2003 17:01

1) I don't owe my team donuts. (I bet them all donuts that we would have some auto-control this year.)
2) This is going to be easy! - Crap - this isn't easy, this is going to be hard!
3) This is going to be more fun that I can imagine
4) Protect from above.... protect from above....protect from above
5) Everyone keeps asking for ice, now they have their own little patch of ice on the top of the ramp. DOH!
