He was born on March 8, 1981, which was also the date of an accident at the Tsuruga Nuclear Power Plant in Japan which led to the spill of thousands of gallons of radioactive wastewater. Japan also had a nuclear incident because of the 2011 Tohuko earthquake and tsunami. Natural Disasters were the center of the 2013 FLL challenge, Natures Fury. In 2013 the FRC challenge was ultimate ascent, in which we had to throw frisbees and climb pyramids. The Pyramids of Giza are the most famous pyramids, and the Great Pyramid of Giza housed Khufu, of which the only depiction is a Ivory Figurine. Ivory is generally gathered from Elephants. One of the most iconic loves of elephants are peanuts. Hundreds of uses for peanuts were found by George Washington Carver, for whom we have named a division. The first pick for Playoffs in the Carver division was team 1717, D'Penguineers. Penguins are one of the only flightless birds. However, they were depicted as flying by the BBC in 2008 as an April Fools joke. One of the BBC's most famous pranks however was their 1957 Spaghetti Tree prank.
In conclusion we will have a spaghetti game, or at least Frank likes spaghetti.
The logic: Infallible.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
