: Does anyone remember a few years ago when the Placebo was a vacuum cleaner? I loved that thing, at one point a friend of mine and I wanted to take the placebo and make it suck so it would vacuum the field while driving it around. Of course we never got around to asking but it was an idea. Mabey we should see if we could get a hold of that thing and see if we could do just that. Just a thought

As a matter of fact, we still have that placebo. It's on display in FIRST Place. However, all the vacuum guts were removed to house the control box, battery, and RNet.

One particularly funny moment with that placebo happened after hours when we were repainting the playing field. A woman who was a member of the custodial staff at the college hosting the event saw it driving around and told us she would love to have something like that. We even let her drive it for a few minutes.
