Go to Post Since our team is in possession of the school, we have no restrictions on how late we can be there. So our teams are often practicing into the wee hours of the morning. Also, the school board uses "the breeze" for storage of high jump mats, so it's a great place to nap. :) - Karthik [more]

Re: pic: 2007 Game Hint?

Re: pic: 2007 Game Hint?

yes it does seem a little bit farfetched and there is no practicle way for them to test unless the robots were also water proof.

Re: pic: 2007 Game Hint?

A water game would be feasable if they supplied a boat hull in the starter kit. A good ol' sea shanty anyone?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

We know he likes to screw with our heads and doing the reflective surface idea I mentioned above would be a great way to screw with the robots during the autonomuos period, especially the CMU cam, and make the game more interesting. I wouldn't put it out of his league on doing it sometime in the future also.
that is actually not a bad idea that might just be it because lets face it if he actually uses water not many people will survive a regional let alone nationals
