  1. No idea
  2. Technokats won, and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (that name always sounded so cool when they announced it!) was the runner up
  3. 2000 (a guess)

  1. Don’t know.

  2. TechnoKats won, Naval Undersea Warfare Center was runner up.

    1. Came as a response to the beatings that robots were taking as a result of the “King of the Puck” fights in 1999.

3.) 2000

  1. 95

  2. 45 won and 121 came in second (broken link :confused: ). Just as a side note those finals was on ESPN, I still have the tape somewhere.

    1. Most teams didn’t have them though. And if memory recalls some judges didn’t knew about it either.

Kinda Off Topic:
I’m STILL looking for a good picture of 95 tipping the puck. I’ve heard it was the coolest thing.

Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

Actually the best picture you could probably find would be from River Rage. Though im not sure if it was 95 or WPI who was tipping the puck during the round, but one of those teams had the puck at a near 30° angle with Assabet sitting on top absolutely straight with the ground because of their articulating wheels. Amazing.

#15

Yep, I’ve heard of it… haven’t seen it!

So who’s got it?

#16

Today’s Answers…

  1. Team 95, Grasshoppers out of Lebanon NH

  2. Team 45, Delphi and Kokomo (Technokats), Team 121, Navel Undersea Warfare Center and Middletown High (Islanders/Rhode Warriors)

  3. 2000

Todays winner is Joe Ross! Good job!

Hey Andy, You gotta make the questions tougher so it is not just a race to see who sees your question first.

#18

It’s actually not Grasshoppers (unless they changed it). Rather, it is GraceHopper, named after the lady who found the first computer bug. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10877

I completely understand what you are saying Raul, and let me just follow up by saying…dont you worry…the deeper we get into the 6 weeks, the tougher they are going to get. My dillema lies with this. I want to use questions that I think people can answer, but with a little work. I can ask questions about seeds and other stuff that no one will get (and i probably will ask them soon enough) but I need to come up with 3 questions every day. As much as I know about FIRST, it isn’t easy. But, I shall try my best. In closing…be careful what you wish for! :wink:

Good Luck,
Andy Grady

I wish for super tough questions that will be hard for anyone to get all 3. There - I said it!
