You guys CNCed out a calculator? That's quite impressive!

I'm guessing that the calculator is telling us the material. Unfortunately...

It's a TI-84+ Silver. That means that the metal is..

a) titanium (Ti on the periodic table)
b) silver (expensive)
c) whatever element has the number 84
d) some alloy with any or all of the above
e) none of the above.

I would also guess that the Pepsi crate is significant; Pepsi makes Mountain Dew.

My guess is the calculator is a reference to size, telling us how big stuff is.

Very nice parts, i wonder what they are for.

84 is polonium, and I'm pretty sure FIRST doesn't allow radioactive materials.

No radioactive materials? Man, I really have to rethink things now. Why didn't someone tell me this sooner?

So, FIRST can name a field after someone who named polonium (Madame Curie) but they won't let us use it on our robots? Lame!

Relevant to the topic, what are the insets cut into the rectangularish tabs? They don't particularly look like lightening holes, and I can't see another use for them.

Its a.... WIND CHIME??

Mr_I · #10 29-01-2009, 09:51

It's a code! Look at them as letters: CCIII. That's the Roman Numeral for 203. Now every good C coder knows what '==' means (relational comparison), and the small dots are obviously ellipses ...

Okay, I got nothin'

Whats going on here? whats this all mean? Is it a code of some kind? lol

daltore · #13 31-01-2009, 04:16

*gasp* Molds question mark question mark

Or are those cutouts just decorative? Maybe a label for an orientation-critical part?

Pretty sure polonium is also kind of hard to get without a license.
