Just something you should keep in mind for the future if you go into webdesign or anything that lets the user input data.

Neat website though!

Haha thank you. I knew I had to do that but I thought that the escape() function did. I guess a quick google search and using the first result is not the best way to create a website.

Yeah, crashchrome [dot] com is a lot less fun when you use a Chromebook.

I know what those 3 sites do (crashchrome, crashsafari, crashfirefox), but it was my understanding that it just pushed dummy info (to the size of several gigabytes) to your browser history. I know on iPhones it causes them to "restart" (not a true restart, but similar) from running out of RAM. What happens on a chromebook?

Everything goes entirely unresponsive and you have to do a soft reset (refresh + power) to make it work again.

Vanilla. Anyone on our team who didnt think it was insane to sniff the treads will be very adamant about this.

The other day, I stuck my head into a box of Rhino treads and got a sugar high.

Have a great weekend,

I hope you feel very powerful. You just managed to get a whole ton of nerds to smell foam balls and have conversations about them without ever actually questioning their own motives. *slow clap*

Mods can lock or delete this post if you would like. I wanted to move on to bigger and better projects with my server.

Our boulder probably smells like coolant.

Ours smells just like a little sweat or something bad.

After extensive testing and wafting of the 2016 boulders, Team 4118 Roaring Riptide concludes that the boulders do indeed have distinct smells. Our original boulder from the kit of parts exudes smells similar to that of a coconut with a hint of pineapple. Alluding to the notion that manufacturers were drinking piña colada during assembly. However our second boulder has an extravagant smell that a team member concludes as "day old cheesecake." We hope that our findings contribute to the hot topic of boulder odor and would ask for more variety in Boulder smell from manufacturers to spruce up the build space.

People are trying to figure out what a foam ball smells like? Jeez, I knew the folks on Chief Delphi were crazy, but not this much.

Blue nitrile smells like sugar cookie dough. It's my happy place on long stressful build days.

Just kidding. Just saw that AndyMark mentioned the website so I put it back up for a bit. http://bouldersmells.ddns.net

Frankly I'm quite concerned with what team HYPER is doing with their boulders (Team 69). I may have to be a bit wary traveling down to that end of the pits when I see them.
