P.S. lets get ready for some football!

Would that have really helped you that much?

2012 was not basketballs it was basketball colored nerf balls. So maybe you'd have known the goal, but not the height, number of goals, size of the ball. If you were even allowed to shoot the ball.

Knowing soccer, but without the ball size and the 2" inside your perimeter rule my time would have been wasted. Also if I prototype without knowing the rules I'd be attached to my ideas once the game actually game out. So I'd never think of the game breaking robot that was 469.

So if you see a football in the game preview, what will you start on?

I agree, the possible minor lessons learned will come at great time/resource expense that could be better used on other training, fundraising, etc... Boatload of hours preseason to shave off maybe a half day in season (if that).

Waterproofing electrical connections and components in anticipation of a water game, of course!

And putting the Vex stickers that say "This Sticker is Waterproof" and "#Watergame2016" to good use as well, right? The real game hint came on Kickoff 2015

Another failed attempt to bank sleep before kickoff.

If it is a football game, then NE Teams have a special endgame where robots must measure pressure inside each football and determine whether or not it is below 12.5 psi.

But before each match starts the refs should check to make sure the pressure is correct, before the footballs even enter the field.

All that checking won't really matter because the incorrect pressure will be announced and no one will bother to go back and correct it.

If you can keep yourself away from social media etc, we will have a recording up on our YouTube channel almost immediately after the show!

I'd start hoping that the Lions win a game this season.
