<rtfgnow> The kids wanted to put airholes in it
<lawrence1503> lol
<BrendanB> I wouldn't be surprised if there are a handful that don't bag until the night before...
<lawrence1503> same
<Guest 14> We had a clock in the background
<BrendanB> We use the Hawaiian time zone for bagging! : P
<Guest 14> Team Update Discussion: sounds like a great thing to bring up in the recorded cast
<rtfgnow> and woodie flowers
<schreiaj> 14, what?
<Guest 14> How?
<schreiaj> We ARE recording, not sure what you are talking about
<rtfgnow> I took the thumb drive last year to the IT Guy at work for him to wipe it
<Guest 14> Oh, awk
<Guest 14> Why doesn't my screen say that?
<schreiaj> no idea
<ahill1625> those rules suck
<Guest 11> a ref told my team that the way we were playing deffince was illegal. all i was doing as the driver was pushing a robot so it couldnt get a ball.
<Guest 11> there was no contact with any game eliments
<Guest 14> BAE and NJ, yeah. I remember in 2010 the rules were weird

<Guest 14> In the 2010 final, there was like a 70 point penalty
<Guest 14> because a ball went into the stands...
<Guest 14> NJ final
<thefro526> Did it go into the stand?
<thefro526> I thought it just disappeared
<BrendanB> Scrimmage they made you touch to count
<Guest 14> I thought a TU changed it from touching to lane-breaking
<Guest 14> It went under a cloth barrier
<Guest 14> i know they got it back
<Guest 14> but it was funny in a stupid way
<Guest 14> BUMPER RULES
<ahill1625> that is such a stupid rule
<BrendanB> So glad we don't have a gap!
<JacobP79> It was pretty tough
nicole175 has left the chat
<XaulZan11> split bumpers is bad, having your number in 5 places is crazy
<BrendanB> The sad fact is that they didn't read that in the rules
<XaulZan11> Wasn't the bumper number in 5 places only announced through Q&A?
<Guest 14> Yes, I totally forgot the part in the rulebook where it explicitly stated "teams may not display their number more than four times on the robot"
<Guest 14> Maybe I should have picked it up the fourth or fifth time i went through the book
<BrendanB> more than four isn't a huge issue. but the split numbers are the biggest offense
<XaulZan11> they have posted a pic of it in the bag on their FB page
<Guest 14> Fewer teams will have problems with 5 numbers than split ones
<JacobP79> yep
<XaulZan11> KC actually has a pretty good team list this year
<BrendanB> I'll probably bring a few rolls of blue and red gaffers tape to GSR for kicks so we can advertise that to teams on thursday! :P
<Laaba80> no, we beat them 1 match in the semi finals
<Guest 17> they lost 1 match
<schreiaj> i stand corrected
