Student on team #442, Knight Riders, from Lee High and NASA Marshall SpaceFlight Center.



I'm new to FIRST this year and was wondering if it is generally frowned upon and considered Ungracious and Unprofessional to attempt to bribe the judges at Nationals by offering them large quantities of Kremo chocolatey delicious sandwich cookies? (Manufactured by Crackin' Good Company, a division of Winn Dixie Industries of Atlanta, Georgia)

This kid is not on our team, he is not on team 442 , just joking, He is the team/class clown in our group, "Kremos" are artificial Oreo's that he hopes to bribe the judges(I doubt it will work but who knows one team did it at our regionals and actually got an award - no connection to the cookies the judges said,lol)

I think this would be give your team an unfair advantage. The only way I would chance my opinon is if you used your truly awesome, humongous "we fit an entire machine shop in one VERY LARGE crate" pit set-up to store enough Kremo cookies to give some to all of us!

Or, let me put it another way - you bring the Kremo's, and we will bring the Krispy Kreme donuts! (another southern favorite, for all those in Wisconsin that don't know what we are talking about)

I believe I speak on behalf of all of Team #442 when I thank you for describing our pit set-up as "awesome". Yeah, I guess we did have a moderately cool idea come to think of it.

Mmm...Krispy Kreme. I'm seriously packing when it comes to the Kremo, so just find our pit (shouldn't be too difficult ;-) and your welcome to have some.
