The return of...

[Nate Smith]

...for 2008. Any guesses?

[Tim Baird]

...PepsiCo noting a sharp increase in sales of Mountain Dew around lunchtime on January 5th?

[Elgin Clock]

Tim! You think that's what Woodie meant about his stock market comment in Atlanta this past year?
Brilliant!

[Tapoore]

... KOP wheels other than the AM FIRST wheels... (AndyMark seems to have a FIRST wheel sale on now.)

[lukevanoort]

...A new and improved AM FIRST wheel with a stronger bearing holder (I hope FIRST doesn't abandon AndyMark's excellent design for Skyways wheels. AMs have so much more traction and are significantly cheaper to use) and a spur gear based KOP transmission

[Cory]

My dream: the return of the IFI breaker panel.

Likely reality: the same finicky rockwell distribution block

[Tim Baird]

Return of... Rnets?

[Richard Wallace]

... the eighteen gallon tote?

... the hanging bar? ... or the limbo bar?

... the teeter-totter?

... the hexagonal playing field?

(So many possibilities. )

I agree. The AM FIRST wheels were WAY better than any of the old Skyways.

This is sort of correct, but not exactly. Let's just say that I will be involved this year, but not in the way that many of you may be used to seeing me (at events.) If you look at my current location listed in my profile, there's not much in the way of events out here, unless I wanted to travel to Manchester. However, if you know about some of the other projects I have been involved with in past years, that should send you on the right track...

Do you guys think that the CMUCam2 will be there once again?

My guess is that if they were sticking with a camera route, they may opt for the newer CMUCam3 and (hopefully) more support for the camera. Though something makes me think the camera has seen its last days as the tech FIRST will be pushing.

[EricH]

The return of infrared sensors.

[Qbranch]

The return of a meaningful autonomous period.
