I can't make any sense of jello, inflatable clowns, and bananas... but i like jello, inflatable clowns, and bananas... this game is like jello, inflatable clowns, and bananas... so I should like this game, right? =]


I think i might hibernate during the winter break to survive build season...

EXCITED!!!!!!!

Very true. Maybe it is considered masochistic if I attempt to hunt down and put together thousands of shreds of soaked, torn and acid-dissolved paper with the game plans on it... Not to mention not nearly as graciously professional as furiously puzzling from random maybe-hints and creatively over-analyzing each and every one of Dave Lavery's posts.

You know you are addicted to FIRST when you spurt out the time left to kickoff randomly and your friends have no idea what you are talking about...

True so true, All of my non-robotics related friends think I'm talking about football or something. It's quite entertaining actually.

Re: One month to Kick-off

why do people keep anticipating a water game, you know haw implausible that is? plus i don't think that they would use the same basic concept for 2 years in a row. pool tubes and water? Its hard enough to build a working robot that drives, let alone floats. sorry, im ranting, it just seems that everyone is either convinced we are having a water game or they just like bringing up the subject.

Re: One month to Kick-off

is not that we are anticipating is just that we want kick off day to be here already, so why not fool around by thinking that the challenge will be a water game lol

Re: One month to Kick-off

I know the water game thing is a joke...

Just wanted to point out the fact that it won't happen anytime in the near future. I know for a fact that almost every venue that hosts a regional or competition would not let FIRST haul in a big tank of water.

Re: One month to Kick-off

I know it's a joke, I don't mind that, but I'm saying people shouldn't say it's impossible. It just isn't very likely for FIRST.
