Golden Ball

[Rohith Surampudi]

hmmm i see a need for the google logo to be modified for FIRST on the day of Kickoff and during Finals...or even better, from kickoff to finals

Im pretty sure this was just something to get our minds thinking of how to get people to get to first.. but if we did do it again, I think we should have it as an "Olympic Event" and start at Google HQ, and have every team carry a leg if they wanted to to atlanta and than we would have a HUGE party to thank EXIDE for making heavy duty batteries just for us to get soo far without changing the battery every few hundred feet :$ lol...

I agreee entirely. How can they send one of their founders out to tell us how important FIRST is to them and not have a little robot shooting balls through one of the "O"s in google? Or how about something like this:

What if the robot made it up to the Olympic torch and shot it inside?

Perhaps we should construct our own torch (or symbolic equivalent) instead.

[Pavan Dave]

lol..how bout we get a sweet Loader to shoot it into the torch and it goes through a hoop of lighter fluid..and than trhoguh a ring of fire...landing in a FIRSTOlympic Torch and it flares like CRAZY!!!!!! It would be safe (Saftey first; I'll bring goggles?)

A few months from now I'll be walking to school and then I'll suddenly be attack by a rogue robot trying to feed me a golden ball or something wont I?

[Pavan Dave]

And you will thank yourself for scouting other teams and finding how to human load different bots. LOL. Because your scouting will come into effect by having to load the ball

[Marcel]

Scouting was tough this year >.< Meh not really its easy for me ^_^

[Pavan Dave]

Lol...All of the people that want to load the golden ball should have a huge catagory dedicated to GOLDEN BALL and the reps from each team that load would have to post pictures, post detalied instructions on how to put balls into their robot and how they would come out Becasue if a robot can just drop a bll on ground another robot can feed it up and shoot it into the net of another robot and etc etc etc.

That would be "Kewl"

I believe that the World Champions and the C.A and E.I awards winner hand off the ball before kickoff and the C.A robot shoots a target to drop the curtains for next year's game.

[Dan Petrovic]

Although the Chairman's Award winner robot shooting stuff is a cool idea, how would the team feel if they had to pay for their robot to be shipped wherever this event is happening?

Would FIRST pay for it? Then that'd be awesome!

Naa im pretty sure it would be up to us but im pretty sure if your sponsor was going to be on National TV (hopefully) or something I bet they would lend you a couple of hudnred bucks for shipping? Dont you think??

But carwashes work too lol
