all that means is FIRST is giving us a little leeway with the weight this year you are allowed to be 120lbs, or you can be "close enough" +/- 8 lbs

Or maybe we're limited to 8 puonds..... lol

Team 39 will be ready! We are preparing for auto banana peeling as I type.

hmm this fish seems to be a blue angel fish (like dora from finding nemo)

maybe our alliance will be like schools of fish that will have to work together, and the driver stations will all be tethered together (hence one eye and the AT&T symbol)

and there will be an alliance (the black alliance) that is a bunch of autonomously programmed robots playing some kinda defense (deployed by FIRST)

Maybe the kite refers to a robot operated teeter totter. One alliance robot goes on one end and another robot pulls down on the other end to lift it up. The teeter totter would be a field element. Maybe 8 pounds refers to the weight of a new type of battery they have chosen. Maybe that is why the battery was not included in the weight last year.

It's also a great time to design and test new designs. I hope I can help a team around here this year with some pre-season development.

As I said last year or the year before....

I think he may make that the game one year actually. Design a robot to perform brain surgery on your human player.

Depending on how successful you are and how many regionals you attend, you may have to recruit a bit.

I have heard some weired ideas I wouldn't think its going to be an areal game I mean come on how are u going to get a robot to fly with big heavy stuff that comes in the kit. And water I don't think so how safe is that?..... Its not even so the kite looks like it laying down on a surface.

Define "surgery". I think we have enough close calls with "surgery" as it is. Thank god for disable dongles.

Um... ya exactly, Dave is going to do that no matter what. I will be very surprised the day he stops messing with our head.

Look, it's only August. You got approximately 6 months to enjoy your life until season starts. Enjoy it while it lasts...

P.S. - Dave, you can keep on trying, but I am not losing the bet. =)
