[Travis Hoffman]

Here we see Karthik and Kathie pausing to pose for a picture at the inaugural FIRST-Relevant Halloween Costume Party. Kathie comes dressed as an FVC judge, while Karthik is resplendent in his Hat on a 2006 Pokey Pokey Stick outfit.

Somewhere off camera, Travis Hoffman is having difficulty putting on his 2004 purple ball headpiece, 2001 big ball vest, 2-stack bin arms and 4-stack bin legs ensemble.....

"We need some truly 3XL game pieces for 2008 so I can actually wear game objects that fit me!!!" Travis was heard muttering next to an empathetic Dave Lavery, dressed as an insane Scottish Highlander on a Segway.

And that's how giant inflatable clowns finally found their way into a FIRST competition game. The End.
