Re: Advance Material List for the 2005 Competition Now Available!

Auto grease, a project box from radio shack, 'sunny summer' paint, a hollow polycarb rod, a magnet.
These are all items that are highly abnormal for FIRST fields, in my experience.
A little research yields that you can find the color 'Sunny Summer' by searching a javascript program by the Behr company. It appears to have the rgb value E8BA16 --- awfully ugly color, IMHO.
Also, the grease suggests moving parts. I believe the project box will be used to house whatever IR component is surely to be on the field. Perhaps a robot will have to retrieve something stuck to the magnet... What is a 'Pot' Magnet, anyhow?
