Question Qotw [01-05-03]: top 5 things in your mind...

Hi all. Just went to San Jose Kickoff and saw the game of 2003 at 9am in the morning... Wow! What amazing changes to the game. A lot of people asked me the same question after we saw the game, so I figure it would be good for a question of the week...

Here it is...

Question 01/05/03: What's the top 5 things in your mind when you saw the game at kickoff?

Have fun~! And good luck with the 6 weeks build period.

-Ken L

Top 5 thoughts running through my skull

1) Human players on the field? Can you spell delay?
2) No drivers for fifteen seconds? Lego?
3) If FIRST has problems with thier robots, how are we going to do it?
4) y=ax^2+bx+c. WRONG. y=mx+b. RIGHT.
5) ...Overload...
...Overload...
...Impending doom...

1)Ax^2+Bx+C is the right equasion. (how else can you get a curved line? Y=Mx+B is a liner...

Ax^2 = 4 robots on the Milk-Plastic

Bx = The Stacked boxes

C = Boxes on the ground...

2)I can't wait till i get out there
3)Wodie is a pimp with a name like that
4)Dean looks like he is gonna croke any time now..
5)I Don't wanna program (heh, Dave...)

1) Wow, I think I've seen that idea somewhere...
2) Hmm... autonomous mode... that sounds nice
3) Oh, no! Now I actually have to program something!
4) Easy, yet so complex
5) What does the quadratic formula have to do with scoring?

the voices went on a rampage when i saw the game. but this is the general idea that i gathered from their ranting:

1. *blinks and stares in awe*
2. *blinks again* uhm... erm... uh oh...
3. *stares* bins...? what happened to the balls?
4. *falls over* autonomous mode?! that's not very nice. too bad for the programmers.
5. *stays fallen over and wants to sleep* i'm tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired. brain doesn't want to think through this now... (we left at 3am so that we could get to san jose by 5am *grumbles*)

1) I don't owe my team donuts. (I bet them all donuts that we would have some auto-control this year.)
2) This is going to be easy! - Crap - this isn't easy, this is going to be hard!
3) This is going to be more fun that I can imagine
4) Protect from above.... protect from above....protect from above
5) Everyone keeps asking for ice, now they have their own little patch of ice on the top of the ramp. DOH!
