3/8-16 isn't a length, but a thread type. The -16 means there are 16 threads per inch of bolt. The bolts are spec'd at 4" long.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Informat

Has anyone had any luck finding the #7 deck screws? I got the #8 no problems.

I've tried Home Depot, Rona, HomeHardware and Brafaso....none of them had size 7. (Nearest thing I found were #7 wood screws @ home depot, but they were too short)

Thanks for any help

That might also explain the carriage bolts. (If FIRST needed to hold that lexan in place, then they'd need something that didn't dig into the carpet.)

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Information

Lexan is slippery. Diamond plate isn't. Looking at all the lumber - there will be platforms, steps, or a combination. Goals will be bins or raised troughs.
I can see the goals being on raised platforms, that have lexan on them. Both defending and scoring on a lexan surface will be 'interesting.'

I think the theme song for this years competition will be: "Slip Sliding Away."

"Slide, slide, slippidy slide living the in the city its do or die"

The original from which Coolio sampled, while not lyrically appropriate, is a far better song.

Interesting you mention that. I wasn't going to really come out and mention this before because I didn't know how credible it was, but maybe you've heard the same thing I've heard. See, I was talking to someone who knows someone on the GDC (but of course they can't tell much) and they said to listen to the song "Landslide" (the Dixie Chicks do a wonderful version of it). Anyway, I did, and found the interesting lyrics:

"And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hill, well the landslide brought me down."

Actually, a lot of the other lyrics too can be related to a potential FIRST game.

Interesting...

Why I went with that choice. Also it was popular when I was in highschool.
Oh man, I just dated myself again.
