What a great prototype ... Bluateam's best ever! Bluateam has just come up with the cleverest tracball launching mechanism; after a KABOOM , the tracball easily clears the overpass, short-hops the back wall and then rebounds directly into Bluabot as it races around the track for another 10-point lap. Now it's time to turn the 250 pound prototype into a Magnolia-Regional-Winning robot. Since Bluateam's base from 2006 was continuously making very fast left turns, albeit unexpected and unwanted, the team decides that the '06 base, affectionally known as 'Lefty', will be perfect for FIRST Overdrive. For the wheels, Bluamentor carefully explains all of the '06 wheel details, (diameter, bearing seats, treads, tread lips, spokes, etc.) to Bluastudent. Bluastudent listens intently while Bluamentor goes beyond the wheel and begins to explain how to drive ProE. The The next day, Bluastudent arrives with a renewed zeal because it is time to make the CAD model of the '06 wheel so Bluateam can manufacture the '08 wheels. After a casual double-click of the ProE icon to get things rolling, the unthinkable happens, an engineer's worst nightmare, the screen displays, "PROE CAN NOT OBTAIN A FLOATING LICENSE!" Bluamentor shakes his head in disgust, "Oh yea, they UPGRADED ProE over the weekend." Bluamentor then remembers as his frowns turn to smiles, "No problem, I have the CAD and IGES files from 2006 on this network drive. We'll just use them to program the Bridgeport. We'll have wheels made by the end of today!!!" Bluastudent is disappointed about ProE but is PUMPED that she is about to mill the '08 wheels!

Based on the 2008 Rules, YOU MAKE THE CALL!
