Re: pic: In FIRST, we nap in style.
I think you guys do have the most comfortable ball manipulation system in FIRST this year. Mmm, nylon.

Falling asleep on polycord just isn't the same, man.

Ah yes, I don't recall anybody else using it this year. Sure made a great pillow!

Also, I seem to remember pool noodles being rather comfortable.

Re: pic: In FIRST, we nap in style.
Maybe it's just me, but I'd much prefer sleeping in your robot's stretchy intake than on a rigid unforgiving (relatively) foam noodle. Still, sitting on the ground the bumper is right at head length... can't say i haven't napped on the robot

Pool noodles have nothing on a good inner tube or two from 2007. My younger brother got a couple of hours of sleep in one the night before ship.

Oh, but of course! At an offseason in the fall of '07 I almost fell asleep on one. Sure was comfortable.

Re: pic: In FIRST, we nap in style.
Well halfway deflated track balls made excellent replacements for bean bag chairs. Especially after Batlle O Baltimore when more than half of 1727 was busy deflating track balls by relaxing on them.
