As always, the deadline is theoretically Saturday at midnight Eastern. I should be settled in the new condo and with internet access by then--failing that, I suppose there's always becoming a member of the county library with a quickness.

Go!

[Mr. Pockets]

Wow, 269, way to NOT think outside the bot...i mean box.

[EricH]

Inspector: I'm going to have to require you to rebuild your entire robot.
269: What? What did we do?
Inspector: Power may only come from gravity, the 12-volt and 9-volt batteries, springs, and pneumatics.
269: But it does!
Inspector: I don't see anything allowing you to run that shooter off any of those. In fact, it looks like it runs on Mountain Dew and Doritos.
Robot: You want some Doritos too? *throws ball at nearest vending machine* They're on the house.

(idk if its too late to join in, but id like to, if thats okay...)

When they said they had a lot of human interaction, they weren't kidding...

[lingomaniac88]

Team 269 decided to try something unique for their robot in 2006: no drive train, no wheels, no potential for motion whatsoever. Their "robot" was just a team member on a chair surrounded a wood-and-metal frame. Nobody was surprised when they came in last place.

Aim for the refs.

[GaryVoshol]

Size limit? - check
Weight limit? - check
Safety? - check
Read the rules on human players? - Aww, missed that part about staying behind the glass. 10 point penalty.

[dodar]

Dang, think of the loss of ball capacity =[

[Al Skierkiewicz]

In the off season Cooney Quest decided to do a little Mythbusters with a twist. If a three sided pyramid is thought to have magical powers then adding a fourth side and some batteries might do even better. The experiment tests which goes foul first, freshman or balls. Tune in next week for only time will tell....

[rsisk]

Dude, take the purple pill, it will bring you out of the Matrix!

[Taylor]

Remember how exotic robot designs were before the mandatory bumper rules were in place?

[JaneYoung]

Please don't pinch me and tell me to wake up, I'm - living - the dream.

[Katie_UPS]

And that, Jimmy, is why we build before week six.

[DonRotolo]

Team 269 flaunts the rules once again, since it was in fact a different freshman who came in the KoP.

[bobwrit]

The only useful use for a freshman
