thanks Josh! that was the one that I was thinking of

Frank Lanford, the Regional co-chair provided me this data about the social...

no DJ...just some music....Dancing is not allowed at a FIRST Team Social...bad past experience/liability.

Yes..it is my understanding that the games are free and students can overflow into the quad area.

---
I have noted that there are only 10 bowling lanes and 6 or 8 game tables.
That is a lot for 500 students to try to use at the same time.

Has anyone seen a robot hurdle and then catch their own ball?

What are the best moves you have seen that I need to pump up the audience to be looking for?

[cziggy343]

well... that would be illegal, so it doesn't matter. when you hurdle, the ball has to touch the floor or another robot before it touches yours again.

Thats a bit totalitarian is it not... almost right out of the dark ages.
Don't seem to be much else to do there...
It's ironic dancing NOT allowed at a closed event such as the social but encouraged at the public event of the matches where bad dancing to bad music seems to be a normal embarrassment.

It's pretty standard, back even when I was a wee little rookie:

Now, the question is this: Does 900 still have this on their robot? (They did in 2005 and 2006 for sure.)

Haha. Sorry about that. I just realized that you had originally posted that comment. I thought that hipsterjr had originally posted the comment about working with us. (You had meant working with us in Peachtree I thought he meant working with us last year at Palmetto. I should probably pay more attention to who posts what. Of course I saw you're robot- I am the operator for 1319. Wheelie mammoth is a great bot.
