Re: Setting a World Record
Back in my junior year of ROTC, I saw a copy of the Guiness Book of Records, and it had a listing for the world's largest food drive. I started the ball rolling for the corps to try for it, but Colonel shot the idea down for the sheer size of the feat. (The record was well over 200,000 pounds for two weeks.)

...but just for my personal knowledge, does anyone know of a larger robotics competition than FIRST?

Ya know, I think FIRST just might have that record. In fact, I'm sure of it. I don't know if it's in the books, but I think we have it.

Re: Setting a World Record
Well, they are always looking for new categories. You could submit it.

But, yeah. No other records from me.
