[Elgin Clock]

LMAO!!! I has a bin!!!!

Finally something on these forums truely worth Awwwing at...

So....


Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!
HOW CUTE!!!!!!!


Will there be tech support in case this sucker starts acting up?
How about a free replacement warranty (valid only 9 times)? LOL


And in typical FIRST teaser fashion, only half of the item in question is shown so FIRSTers can speculate whether or not their is more than appears in the bin itself. Will we get a whole cat? Just a cute furry head? Will we be getting a cat-dog hybrid in the kit? What kid of upgrades will be available? Will Andy-Mark sell an alternative??? Will it be included in the final weight during inspection?? What if it eats a lot before competition and raises up our weight class? - Is that just another one of FIRSTs "real world challenges" with the KOP to deal with this year??? The questions go on and on!!!

What about that pesky rule 8.5.3?

8.3.5 Electrical System Rules

<R53>
The only legal main source of electrical energy on the ROBOT during the competition is the 12VDC non-spillable lead acid battery provided in the ... Kit Of Parts.

Will that be rewriten to include "Cat" as an alternative power source, or is it just for decoration???


Now I understand why FIRST banned laser pointers a few years back. IN anticipation for this new addition. I know laser pointers make my cats freak out. lol
And no more CMU cam folks, just some good ol' fashioned Cat Vision!
Dark fields will not be a problem when you have this addition on your bot!

And... you know someone had to say it, but I think this is a sure sign there isn't going to be a water game.

You thought Water & Electronics didn't mix?
Try putting the cat in some water, and you'll see the true definition of an operator error!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too much thinking about this!!!
Must learn secret of teaser!!!


Hmm... must find audio clip of Kitty Cats now to play at the start of a match this year, or a dog barking. lol

Maybe even something by Cat Stevens?
