Thank you. [Adding "sunglasses" to the "earplugs" and "Advil" in my scorekeeper's kit...]

You know those midget hockey games they put on during intermission at an NHL arena?

It looks a lot like that.

Surely it should be...the Skater's Waltz? :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzBiFZSPM_M

(somehow I don't think the robots will be that coordinated...)

It ends right before our lovely blue smoke ordeal :P

I gotta say - its kinda scary seeing a bunch of little kids in this video so close to the robot by the sides of the field and reaching in to grab balls from the trailer. We have safety rules that get us DQ'd if a team member does that. Even if it is just with the tongs.
