I could only wish trains were the theme this year, a steampunk first robotics competition. Pleas eoh pleas elet trains be the theme this year,. Trains helped develop the time zones. Which has helped civilization with alot of things. Also today in history is the day that trains made the time zones (glad I found this thread TODAY)
I mean look at this Big Boy Steam train(located below inthe attachments.
It would really make some good looking robots. Plus trains are one of the best inventions ever. They transport 40%of America's freight. Also they are way more fuel efficient than a airplane. Also it would make a great theme.
Train Conductors- Referees
Also trains created this modern world. And I bet you the parts on our robots somehow and in some way were transported by a train.
Just saying FIRST should really honor trains this year or at least by the year 2016 (my last year as a student
)
Anyways anybody agree with me and magnets?
Posted some train pic for you guys to start getting ideas about the how to design your robot after a train.
Also one of the trains is the big boy train the other 2 are pictures of some of the last steam engines located in China.
