As always, the deadline is theoretically Saturday at midnight Eastern.
Go!
4334 DC: Gotta get this juuuuuust right
Ref: Psst, glasses.
IRI Crew Guys: Why did we get this ladder?
Dave: I wonder if this insurance is still good on my other car…
Referee: “Robot touching the pyramid… no more than allowable frisbees onboard… proper color of bumpers… everything inside frame perimeter… OK, looks good… wait, you’re wearing forehead protectors. Can’t let you compete.”
Student: “The manual just says wearing safety glasses, not wearing safety glasses over your eyes.”
Referee: “Oh, OK. Carry on.” puts glasses up
Liz: “C’mon, C’mon, link up. Link UP! Just once I’d like to have a match ready to go while the teams are still aligning the robots.”
If I aim this just right, I think I can hit that kid with the large slushy.
Dave’s Note: “Investigate possibility of disc-shaped rover.”
Dave: “Guess it’s time to feed the meter on Mars again…”
Dave Laverly checks his shirt pocket for a banana.
What nobody realizes is that those aren’t Frisbees but pancakes
Somewhere off-camera is a mentor shaking his head thinking “I told them we needed the robot to line up autonomously to save all the time and effort every match. It’s too bad the solution they came up with only worked for spherical chickens in a vacuum. Oh well, maybe next year!”
Dang those strict build season rules…
I wonder when they’ll let me out of this cage?
(Aren’t the prisoners supposed to wear stripes, not the guards??)
You’d think that by the time we got to IRI, we’d have this thing working!
What does it matter if we miss it’s only an off season event. What is the event called anyway?
Now that I’ve aligned the laser properly, I’ve interrupted the feed from the arena across the street. Now everyone watching March Madness will see our regional instead!
It was still Monday when I started this! (I’ve been working on my FLL intro slides!)
