So someone at HQ reads XKCD and decided to make that comic come true, spiffy!

The arrows are obviously pointing at the wood pallets.

You are incorrect, dear sir. The arrows clearly indicate that the concrete floor is a FIRST Choice material. My calculations indicate that the game will involve pouring large areas of concrete and waiting for it to dry. Field reset should be interesting.

I'm hoping we can get more than one blue tarp!!

[Saberbot]

We could really use some of CSI's image enhancement software. With that we could isolate the reflection on the concrete and see below the tarps.

Tarp

(how many permutations can I make?)

Part
Trap
Prat
Rapt

This is fun.

Maybe the 2013 game is called "Tarp Trap"?

[Littleboy]

Maybe we are allowed to use parts to build the robot. That would be new.
But I think the game will involve us building cardboard boats, putting robots in to paddle them, and then race around the pool.

I checked andy mark and the new products and they added polycarbonate and I think the game may be have a high and low traction field.

Any idea of FIRST Choice window shopping opens at midnight?

[~Cory~]

Tarps hold water.


WATER GAME!
