The field gremlins strike while nobody is looking.

The sad part? Nobody noticed until 56's minibot did a backflip on that pole.

We've hacked into security cameras at FIRST HQ and captured these images of them testing the 2017 game field. The 2017 competition? FIRST Ring Toss

With all the Mini-Bot's falling off the pole, this team came up with a way to deploy an air bag, just in case.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #593

The plastic used in the Logomotion tubes is actually a surprisingly good conductor of electricity. Inside the base of the tower is a solenoid. The solenoid creates a magnetic field around the steel pole, which launches the tube upward with a surprising amount of force. And, yes, I learned that the hard way.

It was too cold to go out and make snow angels, so they tried to line up to make the ubertubes look like halos.

The Uber cam served solely to allow robots to collect sensor information based on their position, calculate this information, and slam into people wearing Yellow shirts.
