Water game?

<pause for hysterical laughing>

Now that it's too late to have any impact on the game (since the announcement is Wednesday...), I'd love to see some variant of the autonomous fire-fighting games that are sometimes done for college and hobby competitions. Of course, the open flames might be a problem... how about a bright low-voltage light with a moisture sensor?

I'd love to help the students develop a 75mm Jell-O gun...

Re: 2006/2007 FVC speculation?
 

Well, today's the day! (I'll be checking the FIRST website all day) Do you think it will involve a clown juggling a rabbit named Jello? Stay tuned to find out what our Game Design Committee has up their sleeve! :)

When I click on the link. I get last year's materials. I have refreshed, cleared history, restarted the computer, tried several computers at work and yet I am still getting half-pipe hustle. Any thoughts? I am on a PC using IE. This is killing me knowing that its there and I can't get it.
