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.

1: Human Players don't have much of a job this year.
2: Yay! Something other than spherical objects!
3: Simpler than last years game scoring wise
4: That tall blue robot that took from the top of his opponent's stack and put it on his stck was hilarous (yes, that went through my mind)
5: Autonomous? Ack!

Not in any particular order, mind you.

1. Berlin Wall = separation except for up over & under pipe
2. 36x30x60=36x60x30
3. Smoke the pipe...nonono, go UNDER the pipe...
4. Hiding myself in one of the human containers, have a rocking time having my $@#$@#$@# kicked by bots...
5. Autonomous control?

Some of my truly random thoughts I had that saturday morning...

This is my first year. My thoughts at kickoff were...

1. It's been an hour watching a small TV and they havn't done anything cool yet.

2. I'm tired (pulled all nighter day before)

3. Cool they mentioned our poster.

4. How the hell are we gonna pay for this?

5. WHAT?!! A stack of 22. Eeeew.



btw those boxes break easy. Been 5 weeks and all of them have a large amount of duct tape on them.
