Go to Post Well, we put it in the bag at 11:58 last night. Needless to say we had to pull guys off of it to put it in the bag. I hope we didn't miss somebody and bag him up too. - jimwick [more]

You know when the season is over....(Building 19 ad)

You know when the season is over....

....when you see the Building 19 ad.



(Building 19 is a Boston area retail store that sells salvage, close-outs, and general left-overs. Yes, they had several boxes of them, still in plastic wrap, at the Norwood store, including a few with the -ahem- non-profit organization's name on them.)

True. I always have awesome ideas when the season is over. Seeing the game being played, and seeing all the other robots acts as a catalyst for new creative designs that you hadn't thought of before.

I already told them, so do not do the same. (GP and all, remember?) No answer yet, but it's <24 hours. They're a good store, and have humorous ads.

I think it's funny that they are "1st quality", not great or another adjective. Pun intended?

Re: You know when the season is over....

It's a cool store to poke around if you've got the time. They recently did a closeout of a science teacher supply store and I had a blast looking at all the beakers, dioramas, etc.

However, I have this annoying unconscious habit of showing up at Building 19 on the 19th of the month, which is "Building 19 Day" - during its grand fiesta of all that is Building 19. I only realize that I've walked in again on the 19th once I'm in the store.

(For you CT-ites, Building 19 is the equivalent of Ocean State Job Lot, with more amusing advertising.)

Talking Re: You know when the season is over....

Wow,

The write up on the tubes is priceless. Apparently whatever organization this was had a water game. Perhaps FIRST should look into this organization's implementation of such a competition and work on finally giving the FIRST community what it wants, a water game. Does anyone know which organization they are talking about? This seems like just the type of thing that L.A.S.T. (Lunatics Against Science and Technology) might try to pull off.

Just curious,

Justin

Re: You know when the season is over....

Just like football season, the FIRST season is never over. You take a couple of weeks off maybe, but then you get right back into it, sharpening everything for the next competition all over again.
