12:00 –1:00 Pick up kits (Engineering Machine Shop – directions will be given at the meeting. Note that kit pick-up requires the signature of your team leader or delegate and that your team must have specified for your kit be delivered at the kickoff meeting. Kits will include two fiberglass totes approximately 15” x 24” x 14” high, one box 5”x5”x38”, and one 12” cube. Rookies and second year teams will get a second 12” cube. Please save room in your transportation vehicle to take all of this home with you!
I thought they were actually from the new sponsor Mt. Dew to hold the pins for Mt. Dew bowling?!?!

Lightbulb Re: What's in the BOX?

Ok so i have gone through some research and got a few nice pieces of info. The batteries normally or packaged WITH OUT packing materials. The flight stick on the other hand is packaged with some "peanuts/packing foam" normally because of the sensativity of the components, so im guessing one cube is the joysticks for the rookies. Now on the other Hand, Since the new controller has said to be a lil more sensative then previous years, i am going to go out on a limb and say that the "box" not other cube will probablly contain the controll items. Now as to the cube everyone is getting, it may be a new component to this year and also it may just be the misc. box of velcro, nuts, bolts, any washers or spacers, and just odds and ends items... BUT WHO KNOWS...(Other then FIRST staff!)

There's nothing in the box.

Think outside of it.

What are you referring to? Kickoff is a good 18 away. Perhaps the MER landing? Or the end of winter break? Or until there is only one week left?

Re: What's in the BOX?

Hmm. Well, if rookies and vets are getting 2, then it's probably something in that list of supplies vets have to reuse. Wait, though... why would vets still get one?!?
HMMHMM
My idea...I'm not sure. If it is a game peice, I agree and say something inflatable. Maybe some giant sized balls? Who knows.
If it is kit parts in the reuse list, why are vet teams still getting one? But if it was a gamepiece, then why not everyone get 2?


edit: Oh, yeah. I'm going with the new control system here.

Re: What's in the BOX?

even though I know that the 12" cubes don't seem like they could fit any of the normal things.. i can't see them being game pieces.. If they really were, it would seem very strange that they give rookies and 2nd yr teams a second piece to the game. Unless of course, the game was slightly different for first & second year teams (In order to help them out against the big vets.)..

Remember.. they didn't say what the 12" cubes were made out of.. it could be cardboard for all you know... (which i guess could also be a game piece.. meh..)

Whether the glass is half full, half empty, or twice as big as it needed to be.. i like:

Re: What's in the BOX?

Guys...
I have it on good authority...
The bigwigs at FIRST have decided to fill the packages (at least partially)with... get this... AIR.

Now... I know everyone thinks I'm being silly, but bear with me.
This air isn't just any air, it's actual New Hampshire air! But not just NH air, but air from MANCHESTER NH!

Is it starting to come together for you now?

Now everyone can get a small taste (or breath) of kickoff in NH. The HOME of FIRST robotics, DEKA, AND Segway.

Just a whiff of this stuff, and you'll be in the mood for some robot buildin', you betcha.


John

Maybe it's just me, but the clown game seems to have become a bit of a joke around here. If FIRST actually used that idea, though, this could be a very interesting game indeed...

[edit]Just in case anyone reading this doesn't know about the clowns...



Personally, I'm worried for my sanity if that's going to be this year's game...

sanity- since when is sanity an issue?

in the immortal words of Alfred E. Newman- "What me worry?"

(PS- I've been told that if clowns show up I'm a dead man. But I still say- send in the clowns!!!)

Re: What's in the BOX?

well the one that everyone gets, like Dez said it's probably the new control system, or it could be a game piece. The one that rookies and 2nd year teams get is either batteries, the pnuematic compressor, or the joysticks (since only the rookies and 2nd year teams are getting those this year).

Hey just to correct your post, all teams will be recieving new batteries this year, what will be given to only first and second year teams are the battery chargers, compressors and joysticks.

Geez I'm getting tired of this. How many times have we corrected people on the no battery charger deal? Eh, I guess that's why we're all here, to understand and help understand.

Inflatable clowns??? Hmm.. fishy.. But I do recall a post by Dave mentioning a website that he "stumbled" upon during some "research" of some kind that had inflatable items available on it, with the oddest being inflatable army props (helicopters, jets, tanks)

Inflatable object(s) sounds like a good (fake?) lead from Dave!

(Note to self: Buy lots of snow-tube repair patches in bulk!!!)
