By the way, the deadline is back to Friday at 9:00 PM Eastern. Unless that’s the only time I can get an appointment with Dean or something like that.

2

I wish we had that to take a nap during those long long build nights

3

“Onnnne dollar! That’s right! Get your 20 minute nap for just one dollar! Come on, guys, it’s a great deal!”

4

When you have trouble sleeping and decide to start counting robots hanging on the bar!

5

" i swear it was 130 lbs and fit in the box when we started"

6

No, no, no! Guys, the hammock MUST be hanging from the top bar, with no support from the sides to count!

7

After much controversy the hammock robot was disqualified for being an entanglement and not being able to hang from the chin up bar without hanging on the sides

8

“This is how I sleep robotics, now let me show you how I eat and breath it…”

9

not only can you hang from the bar now but relax while doing it. who need those 2inch bore pneumatics now anyways?

10

Dean would never approve of a hammock on a FIRST playing field; with the belief that a person should spend all of their time on a Segway.

11

To help out in recruiting new students/mentors/ect. they offer the new people a way to get up close and literally into the action…

12

“Dude…the robot is not that fragile…you don’t need a dang safety net.”

13

Conversation overheard at PARC:

PARC Volunteer 1: Should I wake him? The Referee is anxiety to start the matches.

PARC Volunteer 2: No, remember the last time we woke Joe* with only 2 hours of sleep, he got violent and assaulted two mascots and a cooler.

PARC Volunteer 1: Last night, did you tell Joe* that he can’t sleep over night in the gym anymore? Remember last year, he slept under the ramp and no one notice until the fourth match. He spooked everyone!

PARC Volunteer 2: Uh… but he is one of our best volunteer for setting up the field. Can we just play around him?

Moment of silence…

PARC Volunteer 1: Hmm… let’s check with the referee. :yikes:

Joe*- Name was change to protect the guilty.

14

<R11> Mechanisms or components that present an obvious risk of entanglement are not allowed.

15

I don’t think you heard me correctly when I said we would go to Tunkhannock!

16

You know your addicted to first when, your room is modeled after this years game.

17

The PARC organizers were forced to design and build the center cross bar assembly for the 2004 game from memory, since FIRST **NEVER ** released the details of it’s construction. Apparently their memory was a bit sketchy.

18

Some teams being short on funds came up with a creative way to save money on hotels.

And they didn’t switch to Geico.

The 2004 game was slightly redesigned for the Key West Regional Competition. At this new event, sponsored by Jimmy Buffet, laid back robots attempt to hop in the hammock as they strummed a six-string, while thier partner robots catch a few ZZZs after a hard day searching for seashells.

All this, and much more excitement, in the new FRC game known as “2004 FIRST Frenzy - Snoozing Under The Bar.”
