You scare me sometimes, other times you make me wonder: what do you know that the rest of us don't.

Dave, one day before kickoff, and you've given us a great piece of insight.

OK, so may be the shovel's show has to do with some form of renewable enery such as a windmill, but more likely geothermal. Something around the lines of nuclear energy processes perhaps and how a shovel would be used to assist with that. But the pasta part of the hint really evades me in the object aspect of a renewable energy game. Now, pasta doesn't necessarily have to deal with spagetti noodles. Pasta noodles can also include the "screw" shaped noodle. That's pretty much all I'll say there.

Shovel show: scooping for uranium chunks or other energy stuff.

Longer matches: no. No way, no how. I think FIRST has enough on their hands getting all the current teams ran through several matches before dinner time.

New batteries: we can only hope
Real time recharging bases are possible from what your hinting though.

Conclusion: I love the renewable energy idea, I'll be looking for that tomorrow.
