Re: 2017 Game Speculation

I hope they have lax denim color coding rules. Sometimes I forget when I'm supposed to use acid washed vs faded.

Re: 2017 Game Speculation

Robots will not be allowed to weigh more then 150 pairs of jeans

The blue half of the field will be 100% Denim. Even the drivers' station.

The Bill of Materials must be in a denim binder.

All Refs will wear denim to be easier to identify.

In addition to the game, the safety manual will be updated to indicate that ALL safety glasses must have denim sides, and your cart must have denim on it to prevent injury.

I gave a roll to Dean in NYC in 2015, so this is an essential for all FRC teams https://jet.com/product/product/919a...FQsXHwod1HUH8A

Re: 2017 Game Speculation

The game will start with each team throwing denim clothes onto the field, robots will pick up the clothes, fold them and then place them on a rack. The game will be called Off the Rack.

After the game the clothes will be auctioned off.
The winning slogan will be: "My buddy went to an FRC competition and all I got were these denim threads."

Safety jeans must be worn by competitors. Those who fail to do so will not be allowed in the pits.

Re: 2017 Game Speculation

You're all way off, It's simple:

Clue 1. The FLL game this year is "Animal Alliance"
Clue 2. We can assume that FIRST wants to keep theme-ing the FRC games
Clue 3. What theme goes with "Animals"? Jungle!

The game will be jungle themed, what lives in a jungle? Gorillaz, this means two things:

1. Harambe will be a focal point in the game
2. There will be a performance from the Gorillaz at St Louis to celebrate their last champs

That will never happen. There's not enough denim

What about the denim? Do you have to put overalls on Harambe?

Your robot must be covered in denim, no exceptions.

Re: 2017 Game Speculation

The new radio will be made of denim. In addition, all drive computers must be made of denim.

NEW and (hopefully) Improved Riveted Denim Antennas! Guaranteed to increase radio boot times by up to 1000% over the now obsolete duct tape assisted aluminum foil antenna!!

Now I wonder how fast those denim-core processors are...

Do women's safety jeans have pockets?

After reading this thread, denim does not sound like a real word.

My dislike of all full legged clothing makes me thankful that this rule is only for competitors, not volunteers.
