Its one thing to joke about next years robot design, Its another to put up vessels, trains or other objects bearing your schools number and on top of it all you know the history behind not just a team number on the side of a ship or robot design.

Basically this is all fun and games for the sake of starting cool rumors but on the other hand what you are really doing is educating one another about history that just so happened to bear your team numbers - later on rep points shall be given and just so i don't forget to hand them out I will subscribe to this thread =)

Keep up the good work.

The only 191 I could find was flight 191 out of O'Hare in '79. A painful memory in aviation history.

Oh man.. first a submarine, and then I finally find a ship!!!



"USS McFarland (DD-237/AVD-14) was a Clemson-class destroyer in the United States Navy during World War II. She was named for John McFarland."

Creepy connection to CT as well.

John McFarland (1840 – ?) was a sailor in the United States Navy and a recipient of the Medal of Honor. McFarland entered the Navy at Boston, Massachusetts, 24 December 1861 as seaman on Ohio, later transferring to Hartford in the West Gulf Blockading Squadron.

Hartford:

We will be ready. You just won't see us 'cause we will be invisible (it's a stealth ship).

Better hope for balls in next year's game too Andy, cause I think I spot a poof ball or some other kind, and a big fan behind it ready to blow it into orbit? LOL

That ball may rival the size of Epcot's Spaceship Earth.. I think we need bigger goals next year. (both on and off the field). :)

And, if it really was 45's boat, how come the ball is gray, and not a led lit up thing like your ball drop ball? :p

The name of the 2007 game will be Boats, Trains, and Robo-mobiles.

I think we have some work to do:

But we do have speed and maneuverability on you. ;)

Re: pic: 931's 2007 design

That would be SSGN-587, the first nuclear powered submarine to be specifically designed to launch missiles.

USS Bridget (Hull No. 1024) was an escort ship. Its been dismantled and sold for scrap!!! :ahh:

That's why we were thinking of something more like.... this:



:D

It's too bad that the 1,150hp engine might put us just a little over weight... but hey, that's what speed holes are for! :yikes:

Looks like '07 is going to be a pretty rough-n-tumble year... i wonder where the red, blue, and green lights come in to this :rolleyes:
