Does anyone know what team number this robot was? The robot that I saw was a plywood box with wheels, but all of the motors, RNET, and the battery were inside the plywood box. They lifted a lid to put the RNET in. I saw this robot move in another match, but it died in our match. Are you sure this isn't the robot you're thinking of Joe? Maybe they blew a fuse when you saw them like they did in our match?

I would like to make sure we're not thinking of different robots. I only saw one in the pits that was a box with wheels and it was the one we played with. Also, the robot I'm talking about has a 'No Smoking' sign on it.

: Listen to me...

: It was a box with wheels. It did not have even a single motor, nor a single wire, nor any other means of doing anything!

: If I put a screw out there and claim it is a robot, would that make it a robot?

: The IDEA of a box with wheels being a participant at the NATIONALS next to all the teams that that put in 1000's of hours making a robot is insulting.

: Is this in the long-term interest of FIRST? I don't think so...
