Re: Pre-build list

I have no knowledge of the 2008 field element(s). The guy on our planning committee who does know is not telling, both because he's sworn to secrecy by FIRST, and for the sheer enjoyment he gets from teasing those of us who are affiliated with teams and/or don't want to know until the 5th.

However, our fearless field-element builder has sent a few emails complaining about hard-to-get parts. To avoid disclosing the nature of the parts he has code-named them: @#$%^& and *&^%! @#$(. Apparently these have been in particularly short supply at our local hardware stores. I can't imagine what they are for...

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
