You're showing your age, Alan. The mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall's back porch hasn't been referenced ion TV n the lifetime of any current FIRST student!

Q264 has an even better answer than predicted: useful with an amusing coda - my emphasis

A: We're thinking you are asking if bumpers are required this season. There are no rules requiring bumpers be placed on the ROBOT, though teams may use them if they wish. See the Blue Box at the end of Section 4.1 for more information.
If, on the other hand, you are asking us to guess if your particular team is going to be using bumpers, our Magic 8-Ball says "Cannot predict now."

Great opportunity missed...

That is just great! I'm really hoping there will be more witty answers to future questions. I have a feeling teams are going to start purposely posting those types of questions now.

I sincerely hope not. Let's not waste the GDC's time when they've been working so hard to answer questions. It'll get old very fast.

+1.

Not only have they been effective at answering questions, it seems to me that they've also been quicker at posting those answers, as compared to years past.

Kudos!

I see two things that can happen here.

1. A new Q&A answer poster named Magic 8-Ball.
2. A Q&A session at FIRST Championship with the GDC's Magic 8-ball.

That would be pretty entertaining...

[Addison4300]

Honestly, I would probably pay to see that.
