And the picture:

As always, the deadline is nominally Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

Water game, Manitoba-style.

.

“Lunacy is played on a 27 by 54 foot field…”

Because the robot is equipped with mecanum wheels, it’s able to drive circles around the defenders (as seen in the bottom right, struggling to keep up).

Aw cmon ref! It’s obvious! Everyone thinks it was icing! Now, you will have to determine whether it’s too many men on the ice.

“promoters are even thinking about the possibility of an off-season ice game”

This is the ultimate off season event - Lunacy played on frozen water with human players riding their bots.

Ever wondered how southern teams learned to drive for lunacy?

Woodie Flowers: “Intoducing the 2013 FIRST game…Goal Tender Bots”
Crowd: “OOOOOHHHhhhhh.”
Woodie Flowers: “Well, you all wanted a water game, you just didn’t specify what state the water had to be in.”

Introducing the next generation zamboni!

Captain Morgan: The Early Years

It’s nice to see that FIRST robotics is tailgate approved.

“Oh, I must down to the seas again, to the lonely seas and the… ice?
And all I ask is a tall… bot… and some code to steer me by… ce…”

NPOE: Thank you John Masefield!

It’s kinda sad, since it’s Couples Night at the skating rink.

Until this, the rules of ice hockey did not explicitly state that you had to wear skates…

Tighten down that battery Mr. Turner!

Week Before the Picture was Taken:
Owner of the North Charleston Coliseum- “Wait Wait wait… So tell me one more time why you want me to allow you to put anything that is “Burning” onto my Ice Rink?”

Aren’t you glad there’s no safety helmet rule?

I think Team 342 took it a little bit too literally when they heard that their hopes of having a water game were frozen over…Well, at least now they’re ready!

Attempts to duplicate Wildstang’s classic stacking trick from 2007 don’t work as well when a) one robot is an android, b) the playing field has zero traction, and c) everybody’s watching you!

Probably the FIRST time a robot was ever called for iceing
