 when answering a question you throw out other teams names (thunder chickens and killer bees)...and a distinguished guest raises his hand and asks if he heard right when I said thunder chickens and asks for an explanation of what a thunder chicken is. - Devon27 [more] |

ThunderChickens have obviously moved south to evade the clutches of Karthik.

Re: pic: Look what I saw!
The explanation is easy. Currently team 397's trailer is not owned by team 397 it is owned by my family. I use our rolling billboard to move large objects and when ever I move. Think about it, does a national champion team really need to collaborate with another team to win? I know a few people who have been on that team in the past and it is forbidden to leak out any information until it gets the ok.

Unless you're claiming that you disguised your trailer to look like theirs?

Re: pic: Look what I saw!
I am suggesting that someone from their team might be using the trailer for something other than robotics. 
Because the team might not own it, like my team does not.

I'm pretty sure that's Derek Bessette driving. I think he was heading to Michigan to drop off a couple of arms, and then Indiana to pick up frames.

Thanks, I thought I only needed to be afraid of the Monster from Cloverfield. That combination is much more dangerous, and would graciously destroy the competition on their way to the championship.
One Other theory
148+217, Northbound on I-75, could have gone to Greenville , Texas to drop off a certain riveted frame and Copioli and JVN do have a history together.

Paul, Ron... I'm glad you made it to Campbell's place ok, after stopping off at Perry Meridian. It's good that you took Raul's suggestion about filling up the tires even though Darrell said they were going to be fine.
See you next week.

Re: pic: Look what I saw!
Although this is a really funny thread, I have to tell the truth.
The trailer was on its way back from Texas (Greenville) picking up parts that 148 made for us and dropping off parts that we made for 148, 254, and 968 (see Travis' picture posted on very familiar looking machined parts).
148 made parts for us and 254 / 968 so it was easier for us to just drop off the parts to 148. One of our parents was already going to the Dallas area with the trailer, so we decided to save on shipping
We own the trailer as it was donated last year to us by a few of our sponsors, but we lend it out to parents and other ThunderChicken supporters.
By the way, 217 would never collaborate with 1114 becasue they are crazy and they talk funny.

148, I might buy. But the paragraph about the trailer being lent out could indicate that a parent/supporter was at the wheel of the tow vehicle.

Then again this is all speculation and guessing on my part, it could just be they needed shafts and bearings from 254/968 and not anything more.
