Wait a second....I remember when that got started at the Boilermaker Regional. Someone asked for a flux capacitor over the intercom. Someone else and I found a broken pneumatic cylinder, threw some tubing on it (maybe some electronics) and called it a flux capacitor and gave it to the team. I can't remember for the life of me which team that was.

I remember you guys doing this, but I thought it was at the 2004 Midwest Regional. Are you sure it was at Boilermaker?

... and no, we are not gonna start selling these.

Thinkgeek already cornered the market on the Flux Capacitor anyways.

This specific one was given to us (108) at the 2005 Midwest Regional. Couple of the 45 guys said they were bored on Thursday when we asked for one over the intercom. I had totally forgotten about it until I ran into Neil at the Florida Regional this year.

:stands up to the Mic at Mayhem event: Ahem ! ahem! Team 108 is giving away free flux capacitiors if you would like one to fry those old rcs please come visit the pit admin and remember folks saftey glasses are not forehead protectors please keep them on your eyes. Thank you! :steps off podium: :] I remember I was there in Neils room chilling with you guys when Arefin found this, I think it sparked a 30 min coversation.

It may have been the midwest regional.

LOL! (isnt that just a pnuematic piston?)

At the Vegas regionals some team went up to pit admin and asked for a "Reverse Flux Capacitor" on the PA system. XD

Our team is planning to build one a flux capacitor for our robot (provided we have the weight left over to add it on) based off this instructable http://www.instructables.com/id/Flux-Capacitor/

And...

Both of those YES answers end up being not allowed. (Did you notice all the YES answers in the flowchart end up being NO conclusions? Sounds like life, doesn't it?) The rules also mention not allowing gerbils, but nothing about hampsters. There might be some wiggle room going down the "Electronics" branch, if you can get by the "safety hazard" above it. By the way, usfirst.org is already set up for the 2009 FRC Competition Manual!

Doctorwho: More like "field damage" -- refs wouldn't get mad, but you'd get DQ'd! But more realistically (once you build the flux capacitor ;) ), how are you going to hit 88 feet per second when an empty field is a little over 60-feet on the diagonal?

Think Geek has a replica available, and the obligatory sign.

hes going to have to route power through the clock tower to get extra boost

I'm not sure that'll be legal this year.
