Team Number: 1676
Team Name: The Pascack Pi-oneeers

Haha, I hope to break this streak as well. But who knows? 1403 is the only Jersey team that has faced us this year. I can't wait to play against the Jersey Powerhouses.

Oh, and by the way, our bot came home today... expect a few changes :ahh:

Re: 2007 Monty Madness

Re: 2007 Monty Madness
 

HAHA Nice. Can't wait till the friday before monty madness. I get to skip classes to help set up and also put on a show for all the punks that are in Gym while we "practice".

Re: 2007 Monty Madness

Re: 2007 Monty Madness

Re: 2007 Monty Madness
 

There have been a lot of rumors about that, haven't there been? ;)

Re: 2007 Monty Madness

Cute Aroon. I'll probably go to AP US 2 and thats it. Don't want to be Dore-Whipped!

Re: 2007 Monty Madness
 

Tubacca got uncrated today. No travel damages to report. We're just gonna shine 'er up for Monty. If you see a giant glare on the screen during the webcast....that's our robot. Our new strategy, to blind the other alliance..thank god for tinted safety glasses.
