Can we expect another surprise marriage proposal at this year's Battlecry?? :D

I think that totally made it worth going last year.
You never know what you will see at Battlecry! ;)


I'm def. Looking Forward to attending again this year!

Re: BattleCry@WPI 9
 

We do aim to please! Anybody out there feel particularly romantic???

Re: BattleCry@WPI 9
 

I'm sure people feel romantic but first the person they feel romantic with would have to be there. O and I might show up just for the fun of it.

Re: BattleCry@WPI 9
 

Wow! Only three weeks after the World Championship!

This means that I will get to go to Battlecry before leaving the East Coast for the summer. I approve! :)

Re: BattleCry@WPI 9
 

Isn't the wedding supposed to take place at BC from last years proposal?

(I'm going to get in trouble for this)

Re: BattleCry@WPI 9
 

So let me guess there will be a robotic cake that rolls out to the field and out pops rock'em sock'em robots. Played to the tune of the Grady bunch theme song (sorry jess couldn't help myself).

Re: BattleCry@WPI 9
 

1519 is very much looking forward to BattleCry this year. We'll definitely be there, although we haven't yet figured out what to do with our former dual-configuration robot.

Any thoughts yet on the planned BattleCry 9 Rule Changes for this year?

Or, for that matter, any other fun events planned? How about the most autonomous laps on an empty field in 60 seconds? ;)

Re: BattleCry@WPI 9
 

I think Battlecry should make a special exception for 1519 and allow them to use their robot(s) as originally intended.

Re: BattleCry@WPI 9
 

I hope to be there.... if not with 1923, then by myself.

:)

Elgin..... ;) Will you marry me?
KIDDING!!!!!!!
That's yucky, everyone knows boys have cooties.

Re: BattleCry@WPI 9
 

I can't speak for the BattleCry staff or what decisions they'll make, but in the past robot inspection at off-season events has been much more relaxed than at official competitions.

Re: BattleCry@WPI 9
 

The surprise this year was that it's going to be in May instead of June.

Re: BattleCry@WPI 9
 

Remember, registration gets you all these goodies:

• Friday night team social (free bowling, vex, CRUD, DDR, comedy, etc)

This should be another great year, looking forward to seeing everyone there!!

I hearby challenge Andy Grady and a partner of his choice to a 2 on 2 bowling match. Dolan and myself are ready.

My weapon of choice:
The Smokin' Inferno

Re: BattleCry@WPI 9
 

And everyone knows Girls Love Robots (& not boys). :p

And.. No. I'll have to pass.
I've done a lot of things because of FIRST, but a marriage in the immediate future isn't one of them... yet anyway. :cool:
But I will take a 1923 shirt to trade for a 237 one.
That's just as good as a yes right? lol
