Go!

Due to an unfortunate misprint in the rules, many teams believed they needed to ship their human players. Here we can see their crates the day before competition.

Student: Yeah, you're right.

Karthik: Good attitude! Alright, I've got to go check into my suite at the Ritz so I can clean up before dinner with the director. Gotta make sure that he gets the robots good side, later.
