Let’s just acknowledge that some of the Game Design Committee’s Q&A answers transcend simple customer service and pass into the realm of high art. Such as with the instant classic that is the response to Q163 submitted by our friends from Team 999, MechaRams, from Cheshire, CT, USA:

The information, factually correct. The economy of language, stunning. And the overall effect, unsurpassed. In fact we’re so unabashedly proud of this answer that we are considering immortalizing it on a t-shirt to be made available at the FIRST Championship. What do you think?

Totes Ma Goats

AndyMark, in their never-ending quest to meet the needs of even their most demanding customers, has made goats available on their website so you can complete your 'totes ma goats' experience. Currently on sale (yes!) but also on backorder (rats!).

Someone, luckily, was also able to dig up a detailed spec sheet on this item. Although that ‘brisket’ call out rather disturbingly suggests this particular model may not be intended as a long-term pet:

I like this in-joke, and I might just want this shirt.

Good one, I happened to be eating a snack while checking the blog - let's just say I have some cleanup to do. I absolutely want this shirt. Is there a way for us to order it if we're not able to travel to Championships?

I am desperately hoping that "chute door" can fully replace "corndog" as the canonical FRC in-joke.

Yes, chute door.

At a glance, does the shirt sort of look like it says "chute odor" "yes, chute odor" to anybody else?

Yep. The font could be changed to something with less similar Ds and Os.

[Calvin Hartley]

I will buy this shirt as soon as I have the chance.

(But yes, possibly a font with less similar Os and Ds? I wouldn't have noticed until it was pointed out, but it sort of bothers me now.)

[DonRotolo]

Yeah, I would absolutely buy such a shirt were it to become available. I might spend $20 or so. Sadly, I might not be able to travel to St Louis for one.
In fact, I would even make one for myself should they be not available. No, I would not make one for others, as that might be infringement.

Please, please, please, make the shirts. I wants it NOW.

[StillDefective]

I must have this shirt.

Less fear of someone burning their shop down due to your words?

We'll just have to wait and see what sort of wackiness shows up next year.

I think the corollary for last year was "Corndogs?", "No corndogs."
