pic: Bins 0, Evil Machine 2
 

I thought FIRST said at the kickoff that the bins would not fit under the bar in any orientation. They must not have tried that one.

there was a match a Great Lakes with 280 (I believe). Anyway, some team completely shoved the bin under the bar. It was cool.

Sure, a square can fit in a round hole with enough pressure.

Warning To Off-Season Event Holder
 

As I witnessed this weekend, the evil machine will destroy many, many bins. If you are holding an off-season comp that will feature the Evil Machine scurrying about the floor at insane speeds, make sure u have an equally insane number of spare bins. I remember in our (365) 9-9 tie with 25, Wayne C. was asking if the 2 severed bin lids on their side counted. 25 should get a sponsorship from Walmart for single handedly raising bin demand in the NorthEast US. Forget your carwash fundraiser, selling bins is where the money is at.

I am tempted to paint the bins at The Duel on the Delaware with green and black diagonal stripes (MOEstix pattern). I think this would give the Evil Machine an extra incentive to destroy them and we would go thru about 50 bins that day, a real crowd pleasure. The paint would also rub off on the Evil Machine, making it resemble the Silver Scorpion at the Brunswick Eruption last year.

YOU HAVE TO DO THAT!!!!
I would pay good money to see that. I'll even help you paint them if that helps.

Green and black striped bins... that could possibly beat out stacking Tubby as the funniest/coolest moment ever. Especially if FURY wins with them :D. But hell would have to freeze over for that to happen so I won't get my hopes up.

In the words of Code Red-

all your bins R belong to us


of course if you really want to make the game interesting- seal a prize inside one of the bins and see if a robot can find it. Maybe a nice vase, kitten or a puppy.... no, I guess not. ( just kidding- please, no hate mail!)

Of course you could always let Tubby loose on the field and see if the robots can catch it.....

I will saw that the picture shows what a little push and shove can do. LOL. I saw quite a lot of that from the videos from different regionals. What i still find interesting, is what if a bin tore, and half was in the red zone, and half in the blue. Thats a thinker, lol.

Good Luck to everyone at your invatationals.

Actually, that bin that's halfway wedged under the bar...well, all that bin is belong to chuck. Yeah. That's OUR BIN YOU SMUSHED! (along with like 10 others :P)

too answer your question,read the rules, the rules state that peices of bins do not count as bins, only the largest portion does, but since it is in half, neither half would count ;)

I guess you can say that that one is a HAS-BIN.

WC :p

Good Luck to everyone at the invitationals.
