Also, its fun to see that a duck vine translates to "Guess the 2016 game!" for everyone.

Has anyone else given a thought to the items in the other two cages? Perhaps the ducks are red herrings. In which case ducks are now fish and I've broken biology.

Would it be illegal to add an amplifier to your robot? You could have your drive team wear ear muffs and have a super loud amplifier to stun every team and spectator around. Haha.

Does anyone else just watch this and laugh hysterically when he does the big push?

B. Speakers, sirens, air horns, or other audio devices that generate sound at a level sufficient to be a distraction

Technically, it was

Whammy chicken.

This bin holds the entire supply of game pieces currently in North America. All the others will need to be imported by teams. Expect to receive them about 2 days before Bag n Tag - plus or minus a week.

A seagull rather than a duck:

Notice the fork trucks in the background as he backs away from the ducks.

Forklift Simulator game confirmed. Again.

If that's the game piece I'm buying a safe to lock it in when we don't need it...

[FrankJ]

Y'all just don't understand

1. Those ducks have no bones
2. First never shows game pieces
3. The missing bones must be the game pieces.
4. The game will be a takeoff on operation.
5. Start working on your manipulation arms & hands.

Our team as it is should get some sort of locking mechanism for old game pieces. Old Basketballs from Rebound Rumble are sometimes thrown at least once during meetings and practices. Same goes with exercise balls from Aerial Assist. Frisbee come out of storage time to time. So much chaos With that said, I don't think we will have to worry about anyone using totes or recycle bins as toys next year... haha.
