Re: Official FIRST Stronghold Teaser!

Maybe you need to build a pacifier to turn everyone into infants...

OBTW, do you know who did the video? - yes, Disney! Finally, if anyone doubts Disney's resolve at pulling wild back-references, look at the scene where they show the old Sky High yearbook. The photo of Pere Stronghold is very clearly borrowed from The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, a Disney movie from the late 60's.

The primary alternative to technopathy is that the robot will be required, like Will Stronghold, to have both super-strength and the ability to fly.
Beat me to it.

This is an interesting idea also. It seems like more teams have been having student drive coaches recently.
