Software Powers The Robot
 
according to a sticker that happened to be put on our button box a couple years back...
Software Powers The Robot
(the bawls didnt go over as well as i had hoped with our software team though so i guess bawls doesnt power the software team and since the software team isnt powered by bawls then the robot is not powered by bawls

mmmmmmmm, caffiene.

I popped a tin of these in about an hour. 75 mints per tin, 3 mints = one can of cola, you do the math.

Speaking of Bawls.... any team who passes out Bawls at nats will get much praise from me.

One standard caffeine pill = 100 mg caffeine.
ALL SODA CAFFEINE COMPARISONS ARE BASED ON 12 Oz. CANS

Code Red Mountain Dew = 100.0 mg
Jolt = 100.0 mg
Mountain Dew = 55.0 mg
Mr. Pibb = 40.8 mg
Coke = 45.6 mg
Pepsi = 37.2 mg
RC cola = 36.0 mg
Dr. Pepper = 39.6 mg

There are of course many other sodas out there but those are the most common ones i think that people drink. As you can see mountain dew should still be considered the best because cola bites.....so jolt it automatically thrown out the window due to its poor flavor and high cost. Code Red Dew is also disgusting but at least isnt costly like jolt. My conclusion : Mountain Dew is the best because it has the highest caffeine content of any of the good tasting yet affordable sodas to buy in bulk for all nighters :) I think i went through an entire 12 pack a night of the stuff.....gotta love it. Plus it also has one of the highest sugar contents of any sodas.


**INTERESTING FACT** In Canada Mountain Dew has NO caffeine. Poor Canadians.......they are deprived the joy of the dew :(

BROWNIES!
 
As the official baker of team 691 I fuel my team with brownies, cookies, cupcakes....all that good stuff. Then, for lent I gave up caffeine (which includes chocolate) so I stopped baking because I would be too tempted to eat my creations. That didn't go over well with my team who later tp'ed my house and left a box of brownie mix on my doorstep and told me to bake again.

I miss caffeine! I'm gonna be in Seattle (coffee heaven) and I can't drink any of the good stuff until the day we leave, Easter!

PS. <GASP> how could anyway not like Code Red Mountain Dew. Its the only soda I drink and I love it!

Without a doubt, the little "Monkey with Hammer" switch on the control panel.

Mark Hamilton 16-03-2002 20:56

Penguin Mints (thinkgeek.com) + bawls.
1. Remove Cap, insert mints
2. Replace Cap, shake vigourously
3. Drink
4. Build robot

Just out of curiosity......what is "Bawls" ? I have NEVER heard of it.......maybe it doesn't exist in Arizona lol......hmmmmm

CaptainPlaid 17-03-2002 22:42

Oh come on! Everyone knows what "bawls" is don't they?

*Could someone please whisper in my ear what it really is? I don't want to be a dork. :) *

RE: monkey with a hammer
 
As for powering the robot, I'd have to check. However, last time I checked, there was a "Monkey with a Hammer release" switch on our control board.

u don't know what BAWLS is?
 
HERE: for all of the math geeks out there here is an equatio..
BAWLS~RED BULL u know high concentrated caffeine, colleges don't function without it!

(our mentor will

doesn't run!"

GUARANĮ!!!!

that's the best soft drink EVER on Earth. So bad you still don't have it in north america. try it when you come to Brazil!!
It's one of the favorites in Brazil, maybe just after Coke.

By the way, how come you guys stand drinking doctor pepper?!? I really don't understand why someone would drink that. I only try it when I go to US, cause we don't have it here (good!).

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I agree! Dr. Pepper (I have another name for it which is not apropriate for posting) is soooooooooooooo gross! I know, I know some people actually like that stuff and it's not nice for me to say such horrible things about it but yeah I don't like it at all. And if anyone claims that our robot is run off Mt. Dew, then they are refering to time during the actual shifts, not the late nights... ;) hehehe.

Elyse Holguin 13-04-2002 04:14

Mountain Dew, Pepsi, Sierra Mist, Diet Pepsi, Aquafina, Krispy Kremes, Lil Caesar's Pizza, and the energy our team gives off by bowling and outrageous 80s dancing. Anyone that's seen our team in action should agree.

HEY!! Dr. Peper is one of the best made stuff on this earth, next to Moutian Dew and fruit smoothies!!!! Get Dr. Peper and a few scoops o' vanilla ice-cream, mix, and you got one of the best drinks!! Vernors is good that way too, a Boston Cooler, yum! Well, that is it, i am sorry i am bashing, but i have to say Dr. Peper is one of the best drinks out there!!!
