Hi all, here are today’s 3 Questions…

  1. What team was the number 1 seed at the 1998 national competition?

  2. At what competition were rotating lights first found on robots to represent colors? (Hint: Think “outside” the box)

  3. What preseason competition is held every year in CT the weekend before ship date?

1 Point to Tom Schindler for the use of his question!

Good Luck!

We were 53rd seed, and ended up winning it from the losers bracket.

I just wanted to waaaayyyy out of the box on the light question.

I believe our team was the first team to use lights (they didn’t rotate, though) in a competition to identify alliance color. Our robot in 1999 (the first year of alliances) had a grid of LEDs that changed from blue to red by the flip of a switch.
