A couple weeks ago there was a community college person at our site and she wrote on the board Zerox. At least she got the last x right.

How about Sterlite model #1730 73 quart Glacier Blue storage bins. Or we could just call them bins, but it would be funny to hear annoucer read off the first one.

Manoel and I were discussing about it today and we decided to call it CAIXA.

In english I vote for box. Container is way too long, and we say A LOT the field and robot components' names during the 6 weeks, so I like the idea of having this little votation.

Caixa? is that portuguese for bin or box. Maybe we could get that to catch on here. That is if I knew how to say it.

Hahahaha, funny as heck. We just say "Box"

Dinush · #11 04-01-2003, 22:33

you will not hear me say any of those. No way. I don't like those names. Kufsa is what I am going to call them! (that's Hebrew for box)

Although, this is true, and all day today we called them boxes. I'm thinking bins, because i just can't see a plastic rubbermaid type thing as a box.

Where the heck did you see this? If they were riveted on why would it mention the tops coming off in the rules? I didn't see any rivets during kickoff...

And they aren't rubbermaids, they are difficult to find Sterilites!

whatever. the brand name isn't important. but it is in the manual that they are going to be pop-riveted shut. so thats why they say box.
