Good to know: no time travel.

Hmm, actually, if you're already in the future, you may as well see who wins nationals and see if it is worth it to keep working (yeah, right - like anyone's going to pass up building a robot). Then again, if you are skilled enough to build a time machine, then beating Overdrive should be a piece of cake.
One piece of advice - make sure that if you go to the past, be sure to have a backup in case you go to a time before Exide batteries were invented (otherwise you'll have to go through the business of stealing a train and all that business).

Bah. Go to the future, find out next year's game, and astound everyone as you decode the clues.

or
Are we already?

Edit: well, 2 questions...maybe...

I think the point of this thread is that you can't get back ...

Hey, be nice to those Pit Admins. I know one of them quite well this year. There's a reason why they put non-tech people there - the techs are all busy doing techie things, like inspections and making the field work.

Beside, from what I remember of Houston (from the FLL corner) any pit announcements were more like annoying noise than information. Most people probably didn't hear the joke.
