Re: And Finally, A Water Game!
I feel somewhat obliged to point out as the self appointed defender of the "90s Era" (this is what I have recently decided to refer to the Pre-2001 era of FIRST as) that at one point in time we were a WHOLE lot closer to a water game.
It was a period of true competition, alliances had yet to be formed, and there were no qualification rounds, before coopertition and G14.
In 1993 "Rug Rage" the playground balls they used were filled with water to make them roll in a funny way. You will find few who will actually confirm this to you, but it is referenced in a 1993 interview that Dean Kamen did with Barbra Walters. Perhaps next time I'm home I will try to put it up on YouTube.
