Hello All;

Having carried a 127.5# bot onto and off the field 13 times in NJ, my arms
and back are very sore. Anyone else feel the same?

So here's where I need you help - next year, we all need to insist that
FIRST provide a floor level access gate, or else they need to hire a bunch
of WWF performers to help bring the robots onto the field (which would
certainly improve the general public's perception of FIRST, actually :-)).

Perhaps if we pin Dean down with our robots (for no more than 5 seconds, mind you),
we can persaude them to give our sore bodies a break...or we turn them in to OSHA.
