Re: Noodle Agreement Contract
There once was a time not so long ago....For 6 long days the very possibillities of the "2015 FIRST FRC Recycle Rush Noodle Wars" raged across the planet (diplomacy reigned on CD, many asking the GDC to simply avert the wars, and they responded beautifully like the UN of World Robotics Competitions everywhere, and sanity again returned to the community in an instant). Only 2 parties of 6 were even necessary to force "the many" to potentially & eventually participate (the Week 1, Q Match 1 ~ 10 Litter snatch & grab & HPZ campout during Auto no less~by just 1 human player(s) on both ends of the field w/ a "Full Monte" +40/+40 point ending result), or get left in the points average dust. (The GDC rescued the many from themselves, w/ a few rolls of Blue/Red colored tape, some field reset volunteer time, and a simple rule change worded correctly, avoiding The Dreaded By Many, "Noodle Wars").
Jason, have you ever been forced to do something that you absolutely never wish to participate in? Some would have absolutely hated it, some would have no doubt loved it...and some would still be lost in the concept of it, once the wars were completely over. It is now but a once very interesting game strategy...As Doris Day said....k sara...See ya, bye! (Hello LITTER!) Oh, how we have missed you so. I've always liked Pasta better, when it isn't green in color anyway. ![]() |

Re: Noodle Agreement Contract
I propose that all Noodle disputes be handled by the Noodle Court.

Re: Noodle Agreement Contract
Yeah, but "The Supreme GDC" has already handed down the fairer ruling, and it has been set in stone in the 1-9-2015 Updates. (You can Agree to Disagree, but you better bring a Pasta dish, and be prepared to sit amongst the other Noodley folks at the Noodlery).
Hey, has anybody yet tested whether the additionally added 3 tape bands will now make the Litter fly even farther or does it upset the Noodly Aero-Dynamics of the Glo-Green Pasta? Too much. And we thought Frisbees were a challenge. "Ceilings (& lighting fixtures, etc.), can hold you down this year!" At least low ones can. Most of the kids I have watched throw the litter so far were outside and aiming high for long flight. Set those lights really high please Gaffers & Lighting Crews! |

Re: Noodle Agreement Contract
Lol. I knew someone was going to use that...I decided to "not mention it" a week ago, so as not religiously offend any true believers here on CD.
____________ I can here some students now post match....."Man, did you see that 6'~4" kid from the Red Alliance...He's a Flying Spaghetti Monster!" He was throwing the "Litter" almost into our Blue Alliance driver station. Last edited by cglrcng : 10-01-2015 at 19:21. |

Re: Noodle Agreement Contract
Hey don't laugh.....When I need a contract drawn up...I'm HIRING TRISTAN!
Good way to get your expertise (and education grasp), known young man. Took me a couple of looks at the fine print, and I had to seek out the reading spect's., but finally noticed the fine print note 7. That was great! 7 Namely the glorious lack of bumper rules.

Re: Noodle Agreement Contract
Hasn't this just changed the terms of the noodle agreement, not ended it? Now it's "You throw your litter over to my side and I throw my litter over to your side, and neither of us put them in the landfill?" or am I mistaken?

Re: Noodle Agreement Contract
If you find a match that has 2 HPs capable of throwing litter 30 ft, you will have a truly amazing match to watch.

Re: Noodle Agreement Contract
Greetings!!
For those who jumped on Umer for not being up to speed on the Team Updates please be advised that Umer is a NEWBIE and joined 3481 this past Summer and has come on like gangbusters with enthusiasm, curiosity, insight, and is a _very_ fast and capable learner... the kind of person you want on your side, for sure. I teach our students to strive for great things... that IF you don't ASK you don't get... that it's BETTER to ask for forgiveness, THAN ask for permission... ...AND that Chief Delphi is a _welcoming_ an awesome resource for _emerging teenagers_ to get questions answered _and_ a place to share their thoughts... SO... please remember that YOU were once a NEWBIE too and maybe not be so insulting to a YOUNG TEEN with your swipes. --Michael Blake / Head Coach / 3481 Bronc Botz P.S. I've made sure Umer knows about Team Updates and knowing him he only needs to be shown once. Last edited by Michael Blake : 10-01-2015 at 23:46. |

Re: Noodle Agreement Contract
I'd like to apologize for my first post here--it came off quite a bit harsher than I meant it to.
Besides the whole aspect of being a couple of days* late to the party, I do think that having something in writing between teams and/or alliances would have been a good idea--after all, if it's in writing, it's a lot harder to turn any potential disputes into a "he said/he said". Whether it was in fact an agreement to participate, or an announcement that the team would not willingly participate (as seen occasionally in 2003 during that year's collusion discussion), having writing would have made everybody's positions clearer--though, as Tristan pointed out, some further use of clarity would have helped. *Some may quibble this; I note that the rule change was actually announced about three days before it actually happened, and was thus anticipated by most CDers. |
