Water game

Then let me just help things along --


- water game!!!!

Note that this is being said while I am sitting in a half-full bathtub in one of the salon cabins aboard a friends Oyster 825 sailboat that is currently traversing the Panama Canal. Arrayed around me are 116 one-litre bottles of Evian, all on display beneath a huge portrait-size poster of Niagara Falls. And I am wearing water wings.

116 bottles, you say? I wonder if that number has any significance.

I also noted the drink of choice - you think we are naivE?

Enjoy your vacation. Take the next 242 days off. See you in August.

I'm totally joking but this must mean that there will be 116 floating game pieces on a half full field that is shaped like New York (right under Niagara Falls). Robots must fit through a small gap or fly (panama canal and water wings).

Ridiculous enough?

Add in an excuse for robots wearing tiaras and drive teams wearing tights and you're almost there.

Well, three years of Mandarin were lost on me. For all of you too lazy to use teh Google, that's just Chinese for Princess.

A scissorlift is not what I expected to see at all last year though. Very cool.

It was a nightmare. "Princess" is the reason that our team considers shear pins and lead screw nuts as consumable items.

We were at TNT, I was going to have my hairbow but I went with the tuxedo instead.
Also, I'd like to repress the semifinals match against the pink team's alliance.

You come back with 1 post. ONE POST. And get everyone excited about everything. People are making speculations, every word you say is likely to be a hint of something. We are now putting down our homework to research what you mean by anything you say.

You ARE the robotics god! You have the power everyone wishes they had!

The only problem is, in the event of something bad, you will never be taken seriously.

Eg.

Dave: "I'm choking!"
CD person 1: "Is that a hint?!"
CD person 2: "The word king is in choking! Maybe it's a king of the hill game!"
Dave: "Help!"
CD person 1: "Our goal in the game must be to help people!"
CD person 2: "Let's go create a thread on this and see the crazy unlikely things people come up with!"

The two leave, and just because I like Dave, I'll end the story by saying he stopped choking and walked away.

And that was a lot longer than what I thought it would be. Oh well, too late now !
