Re: Butterflys.

This year will be my ninth season of FRC (one as a student, the rest as a mentor). I worry less about the game hints now, but I still can't wait to see the new game and just how the fine folks in Manchester feel like torturing our minds for four months.

Re: Butterflys.

I always try to find a project to keep me busy. This year I have an AIR CANNON!!!!!!!(sorry, I couldn't help myself). It's for a physics project.

Invariably, I always finish my project way before kickoff, leaving my mind to wander. I have refrained from the game hints, but I still like a good discussion on possibilities.
During the kickoff event I start climbing the walls while I wait for Dean Kamen to show us the game animation.

Re: Butterflys.

I have recently applied to MIT and they told me that while I was waiting for an admissions decision I should do what I answered as "what I do for fun" and that's robotics and right now there's no robotics. I was thinking: What can I do?!?

Re: Butterflys.

But hey, real programmers harness the butterflies and write code. That's what I do...

Yay, XKCD! I sincerely hope this year's game won't involve umbrellas and setting off fire alarms, though... (water game?)
