This year's game element, I'm calling it now, will have something to do with the Cheesy Poofs. Here's my evidence:
1) What's the Poofs' team number? 2
54.
2) Go to the Members link on CD, and sort by reputation. Who's in the
fifth position on the list? Cory McBride of 254.
3) What was the predominant color of the Poofs' robot this year?
Blue.
4) 254's main sponsor is NASA Ames. NASA's insignia?
Mostly blue.
5) Also hailing from NASA Ames is one Mark Leon, an emcee whose relevance to this post should
be painfully obvious if you've seen him in action.
6) At Cal Games this year, Mark Leon was unintentionally run over by Paly's robot going into autonomous. Where was Mark? Right in front of the
blue alliance station.
I'm saying it now: There will be 254 bags of Cheesy Poofs on the field this year.
(And if you believe any of this, I've got a deal for you on a bridge in Brooklyn...)
