How do you know that the crate is the same size?? Just so you know it cannot be any bigger than the original size or they wouldnt be able to ship it
(trucks and airplanes have size limits) |

Then something was said about FIRST being the 'Superbowl of science' at Nationals last year. And now Nationals is being held at Reliant Stadium ...

Enjoy. (FYI - the crate size limitations are listed in the recently released Administrative section of the 2003 manual.) |

Some interesting points from the link in the above post...
"The grand finale comes when this season's challenge is revealed, along with several new elements of the game. "We've probably made more changes in one year than ever before, and we think the combination of changes are going to make this a benchmark season,". cryptic clue... "y = ax(2) + bx + c," he said solemnly, before adding with a chuckle, "Just don't ask me about the rumors about the gerbils and the thousand pounds of Jello." The answer is Wait till 01/04/03 |

I can Imagine Scores, Can you?
I wonder if anyone else has thought about imaginary numbers.......
Let's see the scoring goes something like the winner gets the number of points obtained by solving the quadratic equation where A, B and C are from the raw game score....... now that could mean we score Imaginary Points! I would have a whole new use for the Root-Locus Plot! I have no idea why I'm excited about that possibility and so what I've been studying a little too much for my last 2 finals (Control Theory and EM Wave Propagation). Hey, this is when I get my best (and usually more insane) ideas. Steve |

It could be used for some demonstration inside FIRST place, but what else beside a robotics competition for 600 teams need a TRUCK load of toys? Too bad Poof Products Inc. have too big of a variety of products... My top guess is football... Then second guess is slinky's. |

If you take a slinkey and hold it in two hands it makes a parabola, just a thought

Round foam balls are my first guess, then footballs. I'm hoping for footballs. |

Watch the power up video, there are poof footballs used in that. Maybe the contest is similar, we need to get a football from up high, and collect balls... they said the game would be different... maybe we are playing with EDUrobots, and that is why they want us to be so familar with them...
