Talking Re: What to do with all these poof balls?

i think robots on robots dogeball contests would be interesting, like your trying to control a robot while getting pegged with poof balls

i like the on-bus doge ball idea though, might make parents and mentors mad....

After Nats everyone pulls their robots out, speeds up their launchers and see how durable Atlanta's skyscrapers really are....

Make it distance, and accuracy.

Anybody can shoot off a spaceship, but if you want to reach Mars, you have to be somewhat accurate with your aim.

Someone bring a bullseye target and duct tape, and each robot gets 5 shots. Best shot of the five is marked -- next shooter!

You also need to find a sponsor for awards (best shot, tightest pattern, most balls destroyed, etc.).

Re: What to do with all these poof balls?

I sort of like the dodgeball in Atlanta idea. How about at the annual Chiefdelphi webhug, everyone brings a few personally signed poof balls. After the webhug, everyone unloads in a massive game of dodgeball. After we're all tired, or needed on the field/in the pits, everyone walks away with a few randomly signed poof balls, then start a thread to see who got whom's signed poofs.

What to do with all these poof balls?

Ok, we'll need an elephant, a bowling ball, and 4 pounds of wax...

wait better yet, collect all the poof balls from all the teams

get a bunch of giant tooth picks (like dinosaur tooth picks)

and make a model of human DNA

no wait, even better - hang them all from the ceiling with string, and make a scale model of the Milky Way Galaxy! each poof ball = 1 star

BTW: arnt you glad they named our galaxy after Milky Way candy bars, and not something stupid like the Good n Plenty Galaxy, or the Almond Joy Galaxy?

uhh.. I'm pretty sure the candy was named after the galaxy, could be wrong, but I'm almost positive.

I kind of like that sign a poof ball and throw it thing. That would be really interesting. then you could be pen palls or something(type-pals?). haha.

thats hilarious!

our team had a team "bonding" day one Saturday during build. and we all went to our gym and played volleyball with some balls that a kid brought in(his mom works at a local volleyball clinic thing, so we had tons)
we had two courts set up... needless to say the court next to mine got a brilliant idea... they all picked up spare volleyballs. i look over, and tell my friend "take cover" he's like "huh? OH!" no sooner was that said than the other court screams "3 2 1 dodge ball!" and volleyballs just go flying!

i like the CD pal thing honestly. I think that could be really cool. Any chance of that actually happening?

Re: What to do with all these poof balls?

This idea may be harmful to some unattention people, but at the end of the Nationals where the finals take place, when the champion wins the competition, everyone who have their own poof balls can throw it out from the audience into the playfield to celebrate! Imagine so many poof balls flying in darkness upon the glowing bright playfield? It would be amazing!

But this idea may be harmful to people. . .
