You know your addicted to first when, your room is modeled after this years game.

The PARC organizers were forced to design and build the center cross bar assembly for the 2004 game from memory, since FIRST NEVER released the details of it's construction. Apparently their memory was a bit sketchy.

Some teams being short on funds came up with a creative way to save money on hotels.

And they didn't switch to Geico.

The 2004 game was slightly redesigned for the Key West Regional Competition. At this new event, sponsored by Jimmy Buffet, laid back robots attempt to hop in the hammock as they strummed a six-string, while thier partner robots catch a few ZZZs after a hard day searching for seashells.

All this, and much more excitement, in the new FRC game known as "2004 FIRST Frenzy - Snoozing Under The Bar."

The crew from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition gave PARC what they wanted, living quarters and a field to play on! Unfortunately, a few compromises had to be made in the process...

"After a request by Andy Baker, the PARC organizers began a new experiment. Seeing the successes of the "field-hammock", Andy plans to utilize this new technology at the 2005 IRI.
Hopefully by utilizing this innovative system, JVN will (for the first time) be on time to referee the competition on Saturday morning."


(I'm surprised no one else jumped on this one... if I win the Burn award, is it self-immolation?)

in a surprise move by Dean Kamen after the PARC competition he has decided to change the meaning of F.I.R.S.T to For Inspiration and Resting Inside Science and Technology

forget about building these robots, now its all about futuristic bedding people

Well that's his story and he's stickin' to it. :D

After seeing frantic Andy Baker trying to referee at IRI on very little sleep and very much Osbourne in his system, the referee crew at PARC decided to make sure their referees landed in the safety net should they fall asleep while making the call.

Not only are our lives consumed by robotics we dream about robotics too.

Any chance of there being a "Groaner Award" for this one?

"The field reset crew all thought they would be funny, stay up all night, and be sleepless in Seattle. Little did they know they were in Pennsylvania at the time."

As two PARC organizers prepared the playing field for the 1st annual Laziest Human Player competition, little did they know that an inexorable evil lurked in the shadows behind them, hell-bent on thwarting their peaceful plans. Lo, 'twas Team 365 and their unholy Moe Stix - the bane of the human race! Nary a human player could sleep a wink that day, as the incessant sound of "Clap clap, clap clap clap, clap clap clap clap, GO MOE!" bored its way deep into their skulls with the unrelenting efficiency of a DeWalt cordless drill.

Has Dean been sleep-walking to the stadium with his hammock again?
