  1. ?
  2. Team 175 - Buzz Robotics

2: Buzz - #175 - our alliance partner at Nationals in 2000 - they were awesome.

3: I did not know this one.

#1 They were filled with water
#2 Team 175 Buzz
#3 No idea

  1. Filled with Water
  2. Team 175 - Buzz
  3. WPI!! (edit: I have to say that I read that as a team who competed in the national championship, since it says “championship”, not champion. but i’ll keep that answer anyway :-P)

If you were going to read it that way, you’d also have to say Harvard, MIT, UNH, and RPI. That’s a pretty good set of colleges.

  1. The balls were two different sizes, one of which was filled with water.
  2. Buzz, #175
  3. RIT
  1. Different Colors
  2. 175
  3. WPI since 1992

you people and your silly loopholes!

Here are the answers…

  1. They were filled with water.

  2. Team 175, Buzz, Hamilton Sunstrand Space Systems Int’l / Enrico Fermi HS

  3. Well my wording was wrong again! I meant national championship winning robot, which would be Tigerbolt, but I will give credit to any college you name that was around in 92 also.

Once again, Joe Ross nails down the points! Good Job!

Yeah Andy, We do not want to have to use lawyers to interpret your questions.:slight_smile:
