Re: pic: 3280 Preparing to Hang (by tape measure)

Hang on... I thought tape measures were illegal! (jk) Oh, yeah, this is not the 2002 competition*.

Seriously, this is a wonderful use of a simple mechanism. Kudos to team 3280!

Sincerely,
Andy B.

* - For those of you who were not around in 2003, there was a big controversy regarding tape measures as extension devices. Initially, they were deemed that tape measures were illegal, but that eventually changed during the competition season. I am sure that this tape measure mechanism will bring back wonderful memories for those folks who were involved in that discussion.

Re: pic: 3280 Preparing to Hang (by tape measure)

Baker, you've been doing this competition too long. Next you'll be saying that the game with tubes was 1997*...

In all seriousness, that's an interesting way to use a tape measure, as well as an ingenious way to avoid getting stuck in the tunnel while lifting.



*It was, by the way. It was also 2007.

Re: pic: 3280 Preparing to Hang (by tape measure)

The tape measure lifter was definitely a crowd pleaser at Boston! Your team seemed to have executed it perfectly as well.

We would get that sense of anticipation whenever your team would take to the field with your tape measure hats. We had some guests sitting with us and it was fun to lean over and say, "just wait till the last 20 seconds!" And then after the lift was successful to tell them that you were a rookie team!

Great concept and congrats on your Rookie All Star award! I hope we will get to see you in Atlanta!

Re: pic: 3280 Preparing to Hang (by tape measure)

Team 3280 was a very impressive rookie in Boston. It is clear that we can expect great things from them in the future.
