3 Questions!!! (2/10/04)

Hi all, sorry about the lateness, but here are today's 3 Questions...

1. What was the name of the electronic device that when used with the R-Net on the robot, would allow for radio contact in 1997?

2. In 1996, what caused interference with the R-Net radio antennae during the national competition?

3. What year did the seeding rounds for nationals go into the night? (Past 7pm)

Andy, is there any way you could clarify this question? I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about something at the driver's station?

2. FRS Radios
3. Don't know

To clarify, the device I am talking about was connected in line with the R-Net on the robot. The robot could not run without it.

Re: 3 Questions!!! (2/10/04)

1. Antenna (well technically it did allow for radio contact...)

2. Walkie-talkies.

3. 1999. This is one practice I wish FIRST would bring back. 1999 was also the last year of all the fields being outside. It was an awesome feeling watching matches under the stars at EPCOT. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face. Wow, those are memories...

Re: 3 Questions!!! (2/10/04)

Here are today's answers...

1. Well, I meant Dongle, but Attenuator is also correct.

2. Once again, I meant something else, but Walkie Talkies (or those Motorola Radios) are correct, though what I meant was interference from Orlando International Airport!

3. 1999

Today's winner is Joe Ross!
