Guess what time it is

Ok for all you Robototecnics it's time to relax and have some fun!

As you know we have a new game with a red/blue ball.

Well, at the West covina RT we were messing around and one of us had the idea to try to stay on the ball (Travis) so we decided to make it a contest to see whether we could we get on the ball and go around in a circle while balancing on top of it.

So heres todays game: Ball Rolling

Rules: you have to stay on the ball to actually do this...

Now for the challenges:

1. Try to actually get on the ball without falling off
2. Try Moving foward on the ball without falling off
3. Try going in a straight line and back WFO
4. Try going in a complete circle WFO
5. and finally try standing on the ball with people assisting you

So lets see who does the best and post your results in this tread to see who is capable!

Thank you and good luck!!

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.

GO DANVILLANS!!

Of course, I've also heard 1902's and 192's (Strange that GRT with their nonsense stuff like "ooh-ey ooh-ey" etc and Exploding Bacon with their "Oink Oink Boom" both have "1" "9" and "2" in their team numbers, in that order), so...

There was another team at Champs who had a "WHAT TIME IS IT?" chant, but I like 488's better 'case I heard it first =p

Silly people! Didn't you read The Cat in the Hat?

You just KNOW what's going to happen to whoever stands on the ball.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
