Why not go the safer route? Use the robots to play Magic the Gathering. |

WAIT WAIT, I GOT IT!!!! What if.... it's just a picture of a fish. |

Isn't that sort of like asking "is that an African or European swallow?" |

If they need a place where they can get a chance to learn interpersonal skills (like a team), it might just help them to become well-adjusted adults, as opposed to pathologically antisocial engineers (who got good grades). |

Not even close to ready...can we delay it till like...January 2010? |

No really though, a robot game with rules similar to Risk. This would combine FIRST, Battlebots, and US Government... |

Everyone is reading way too much into this. The game piece is clearly a bunch of Opahs this year. Problem solved, case closed. Start designing your fish handling robots now. |

We'll defintely be working on both the balancing 2 wheel robot, the 6 legged robot, and the wood chassis 8 wheel drive robot ideas this fall. |

I'm very certain that specifics are quite interesting but all that keeps going through my mind is, "OOOOOH SHINY!" |

If a kid was in FIRST and no one was around to see it, do they still get inspired? |

In my opinion, FIRST is better than a sport. |

Is it really only 5 axes? It looks like that thing could bend time and space. |

probably another ingenious game hint planted by Dave months before anyone even thinks about a game hint! |

When a team is composed completely of robot builders and technical people that team cannot exist just like a company cannot exist if it is only made up of engineers. |

And when the President of the United States is playing with LEGOs and getting down on the floor to look inside of robots, then I would have to say "Mission Accomplished". |

Well, the cake could either be a simple cake Or It is blue, so that obviously means that we are having a water game this year. |

I, for one, refused to be railroaded down this train of thought so easily! Geeze, one lousy game hint just builds up steam for any old picture to come through and go two pages in a matter of hours. |

We're thinking of using static electricity to pick up the tubes. The programmers are trying to figure out how to make the robot shuffle it's feet on the carpet. |

i just want to say how awesome the high volume tank is. The high volume tank is 7/4 as awesome as the previous tanks. |

Long post, I know, but to sum it all up, power house teams are a resource, not an enemy. |

Equally possible is that we're just providing some lunch-break entertainment for the people in the GDC. |

Woah woah, what about fingers? The programmers have to use something to type with? |

I then thought "hmm, who would want to attack the FIRST website?" I guess unfortunately the answer to that would be "Mother Nature." |

It'd be nice if, one day, people just concentrated on how to inspire your own team and your own community. Let others decide on how to inspire theirs. |

What’s in a name? That which we call a robot, by any other word would smell of magic smoke. |

If it's the loss of American lives that concerns the nation, why not campaign aggressively against smoking, or improve automobile safety? At least then, the benefits will be tangible, and substantially more significant to the well being of the locals. |

She must have known that if she declined the invitation to form an alliance that no one else would be allowed to pick her. (But of course, as any happy husband knows... the wife is always the #1 seed!) |

Announcers don't keep the score. They are fairly outgoing people, make witty remarks, and wear goofy shirts. We can't take them too seriously. :) |
