[FRC Blog] Duck Vine

[Electronica1]

Best bumpers ever

Actually, on further reflection...


It's a witch game. Water may be involved in some way, as might wood, but it's definitely a witch game.



And the inspectors will need to use their biggest scales.

But the opposite of water is space.

Space Game Confirmed

Also, its fun to see that a duck vine translates to "Guess the 2016 game!" for everyone.

It's not that it's a duck vine. It's who posted it.



And some of us are here just to have fun--and see how many people actually think we're serious.

FRC Space Jam

Ducks... as in Duck, North Carolina. North Carolina being the Old North State. North of the US is Canada. Canada produced the Canadarm, a robotic arm which is on the Space Shuttle. KUKA robotics also produces robotic arms, one of which can be seen here playing ping pong against world renowned player Timo Boll. He was born on March 8, 1981, which was also the date of an accident at the Tsuruga Nuclear Power Plant in Japan which led to the spill of thousands of gallons of radioactive wastewater. Japan also had a nuclear incident because of the 2011 Tohuko earthquake and tsunami. Natural Disasters were the center of the 2013 FLL challenge, Natures Fury. In 2013 the FRC challenge was ultimate ascent, in which we had to throw frisbees and climb pyramids. The Pyramids of Giza are the most famous pyramids, and the Great Pyramid of Giza housed Khufu, of which the only depiction is a Ivory Figurine. Ivory is generally gathered from Elephants. One of the most iconic loves of elephants are peanuts. Hundreds of uses for peanuts were found by George Washington Carver, for whom we have named a division. The first pick for Playoffs in the Carver division was team 1717, D'Penguineers. Penguins are one of the only flightless birds. However, they were depicted as flying by the BBC in 2008 as an April Fools joke. One of the BBC's most famous pranks however was their 1957 Spaghetti Tree prank.
In conclusion we will have a spaghetti game, or at least Frank likes spaghetti.

The logic: Infallible.

Carried by swallows, of course.

Now, whether those swallows are African or European is an open question.

The GDC will fail to specify and it will cause a disaster at the Week 0 event (or whatever we decided to call it) and cause several team's robots to need complete redesign.

If that's the game piece I'm buying a safe to lock it in when we don't need it...

[FrankJ]

Y'all just don't understand

1. Those ducks have no bones
2. First never shows game pieces
3. The missing bones must be the game pieces.
4. The game will be a takeoff on operation.
5. Start working on your manipulation arms & hands.

Our team as it is should get some sort of locking mechanism for old game pieces. Old Basketballs from Rebound Rumble are sometimes thrown at least once during meetings and practices. Same goes with exercise balls from Aerial Assist. Frisbee come out of storage time to time. So much chaos With that said, I don't think we will have to worry about anyone using totes or recycle bins as toys next year... haha.
