The playoff beard does absolutely nothing to counteract the effects of the caster wheel.

Despite the disadvantages of casters, Team 371 was not once delayed because the field could not connect to their wireless bridge.

This was the first and last year that the GDC had the human player starting position located on the field side of the driver station. The game is called "Odd Man Out"

In a grueling contest of man vs robot, the agility of man was taxed. The robot ultimately won.

Looks like the coach didn't RTFM (Read The FIRST Manual). You are supposed to stand by the DRIVERS not the ROBOT.

"If you liked that (giggle) watch when I press this button! The box opens up to show the full blown sound system playing "We are the Champions" and lasers shoot out and we even have one of those colored disco light balls. Yeah, it eats batteries but it looks really cool!"



And this is the reason I started doing robot inspection.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #371

Although it looked cool, nobody was willing to ride the prototype 3-wheeled Segway.

[NPOE]
I didn't realize until this past month that the Segway wasn't relased to the public until 2001. Kinda crazy that Mr. Kamen is always* introduced as "the inventor of the Segway" when FIRST is a decade older. I wonder how he was introduced pre-2001.

*the i.am.FIRST special did a great job of highlighting his other achievements.
[/NPOE]
