Water game
Thank you Frank for being transparent
Why can't FIRST be more transparent?
Video review

Can someone make a real bingo board?

You can add paper airplanes and Will.i.am's comment on Einstein to the list

I know it's still just a rumor but it makes you think.

It doesn't warrant another thread, but I was just told today the team I am an alumni of is quitting FRC post this season after 13 years of competition. (FRC 1102)

They've quit all their FIRST teams in favor of Vex teams.

I would not surprised if more teams left FIRST for Vex due to the change in the championships configuration.

If the VEX folks are lucky, that will happen so often that the number of VEX teams will become too large to be accommodated in a single championship.

Vex is much better than FTC.

Can we make a rule that if bingo is mentioned the example is invalidated.

The refereeing inconsistency is too **** high!

There, I made my contribution to the blar.

Ya know, in some cases I might actually agree. In others, them's fightin' words!

I'm a ref, so for this specific one I'm going to have to go with option 1.

Also add:
Shouting "ROBOT" between the pit and the field
Inconsistent rulings
Ridiculous safety surveys (no, randomsafteycaptain, we do not travel with a defibrillator) and other empty acts used to earn safety awards

I think this thread just won "ChiefDelphi is terrible Bingo".

Don't forget the offseason defenses, portcullis safety hazard debate, illegal goal blocking (cheesecake)robots, time of practice field closure, noise level, and seating issues.
