Ohhh i want to see that episode! "FIRST Myths"
"Can a Poof-Slinky 7" foam Jr. Basketball break a car windshield?"
"Just how far can you fire a poof ball if you had no limits?"
"How many poofballs you can make into the center goal as fast as possible if you had no limit?"

Honistly, i thought they might be doing something like this when i saw the teaser for the next episode, but alas its dealing with the helium footbal myth

Re: Woodie On Mythbusters!



First of all, let me say that I missed the original airing of this episode because, oddly enough, MIT cable doesn't carry the Discovery Channel...

Anyway, when I did see it I saw some familiar faces and locations, as the picture above indicates. You can barely see the top of my dorm behind the "boat." The parking garage they were on top of is where we park team 97's pickup truck. Also, the star of the show was professor David Wallace, who co-teaches a drawing/CAD/machining class that I'm taking right now. (2.670 - Intro to Mechanical Engineering Tools) In a week, I will be starting 2.007, the robotics competition formerly known as 2.70 back when Woodie taught it. It should be an interesting experience for me, having been on FIRST teams for four years, to participate in the competition that helped inspire it. I'll try to post some updates on how it goes.

If anyone hasn't seen this episode or hasn't seen Woodie on it, I've attached a picture to my post so everyone can see him. (Sorry about the low quality)

Re: Woodie On Mythbusters!

If any one saw this and was at the Boston regional I believe that the Professor who is on the show for most of it was also in the pits in boston.
