Kick Off A' Comin'

*sniff sniff*

Smell that? It's that scent. That scent that only a select few can know: the scent of a brand new FRC Build Season on the brink of arriving! Ah, I can hear it now, the countless ideas, the saws, the drills, the Mountain Dew cans popping open!

It's almost time to say goodnight to sleep and rack our minds to think of ways to do whatever the GDC throws at us. I for one can't wait!

Hope everyone has a great season and good luck, we'll all need it.

Re: Kick Off A' Comin'

Ah, yes, it's a robotics person's New Year's and Christmas, all rolled up in one day. My friends and I have to be quiet in our physics class this week, because we sure won't be for the next 6 weeks. Ok, we probably won't be quiet until after Championships, but still.

We'll be makin' up new robots when it comes,
We'll be lookin' at design specs when it comes,
We'll be analyzing the fields with the game pieces that it wields,
We'll be makin' up new robots when it comes.

And water bottles for us. The bonuses? Better hydration, and bottle cap rockets. We do have safety rules regarding that, too.

What brand? Most have no caffeine (Barq's is a notable exception), and I've never heard of a serious programmer who would choose root beer over Mountain Dew.
