[c352bc4de4b8d833a2acb946e7f2e41d_l.jpg] 2005 Tetra Game. Silicon Valley Regional 2 pick and Winner with Team 254 Cheesy Poofs and Team 22 (twin of 254) which became Team 4 Element.

As usual, the deadline is nominally Sunday at midnight Eastern time. I will be volunteering at the 2023 FIRST Championship, doing field reset on Johnson. If you see me, feel free to submit your entry in person.

Go!

The Power of the Pyramid! It’s finally mine!

[EricH]

Little did they know that by the time the dust settled, they would be responsible for BUMPERS.

[GaryVoshol]

Too many matches, too little durability of the robot’s arm.

[cgmv123]

Uh, can someone help me get the tetra down? My arm is starting to hurt.

[wgorgen]

Explaining their robot to their alliance partners:

"Look, it’s not that hard to tell the difference between our robot and the game piece:

1. The game piece is blue and our robot is silver
2. The game piece has 4 sides and our robot has 5
3. Our robot has numbers on it
4. The game piece is light - look at how easily I can lift it up!

So please! Stop trying to grab our robot and score it!"

[jaredhk]

It’s the Silicon Valley Regional, not the Polyvinyl Chloride Valley Regional!
