Once National Instruments saw this Powerthirst ad in a magazine, they knew exactly how they were going to make the cRIO introduction video for the championship.
Team 25 thought they were going to a boring Body building event full over over muscled, under nourished men and women. When they arrived they found out it was a body BUILDING contest.
With a few spare parts and some extra aluminum they built this perfectly proportioned body and won first prize. They even had time to spray on a tan coating.
A mentor was later heard saying “It’s amazing what these kids can do with a kit of parts and some old material.”
[NPOE] no offence was intended against body buiilders. You rock [NOPE]
Team 25 welcomes their newest team member. From this point onward, whenever they needed any lubrication for their robot, they’d just scrape some off of this guy.
Mr. C decides it is time for the team to build some leaner meaner skills, cutting through the fat and trimming the excess weight of needless time, energy, and wasted movement from their build season.
25 is clueless. But game. From their perspective, the exercise reveals a balanced approach to the meatier aspects of team work, delving into the area of muscled tenacity that is their think tank, their gray matter, their - strange very strange approach towards shedding light on all things robotix.
“Well, here we go–a portable hammer, drill, alan wrench, 7/16, and every kind of tool that we would need. AND, he doesn’t cost several hundred dollars!”
You know…Really good teams will try anything to get an advantage. Ok this one could have been better thought through, but you have to give them credit for that “try anything” attitude.
