As always, the deadline is nominally Sunday at midnight Eastern.
Go!
Nobody’s swimming? Guys, this isn’t Billfred’s Sunday deadline. You can have faith in the pond!
“In order to maintain our rating as ‘THE BEST CLASS EVER’, we decided to cause the next class to relax and not try to be US. So, one tranquil fountain, a couple of comfy recliners, some stuff to go with it, and we should be all set.”
“At least until the teacher calls the team out on not being like 2056 like he did to us.”
…and this years First Robotics Competition game… Recycle Rush 2: fountain foundation. (California teams can not compete in state)
First the lab, then the GDC.
Reason number 137 why there will never be a Water Game: Who wants to encourage this much sloth?
OK then, by a seven to three vote, we’re going to use large pool noodles for the pool bot’s bumpers.
This robot would definitely not pass inspection.
Mentor: “This is the last time I let students design the shop layout.”
As a fellow Canadian I figure I should let you all know: They are are just recreating our Winter lounging activities in a space that is familiar to them. AKA a room with the AC turned up to high. They are just waiting around for that fountain to freeze before they break out the mini sticks. (See their 2017 bot 
)
Ok, team. Lets remember to thank our sponsor, Water Works, for the use of our workspace this year. I know the water did pose some… challenges… especially when we hit the fountain driving the robot, however, I do have some good news.
Next year we’ll be moving to space at our new sponsor, Ikea. Bad news, we have to rebrand everything with unpronounceable names.
Just getting a jump on field building for next year’s water game.
Now that we have a bathtub and a shower in the shop I never have to go home during build season!
After Daly this year, this team decided to be prepared for anything. Anything. Including water.
Corona’s new commercial seems to be really tailored for FIRST mentors.
At least they had enough sense not to build a fire pit.
Team 2386 prepares for their annual rain dance, to summon a water game for the coming year.
While some people find robotics to be stressful, others find that it can be quite relaxing.
Sign near the pond: "In the event of a water containment issue, game pieces may not be used as a floatation device, with the exception of 2015 pieces. That’s what the boat near the pond is for. Bumpers may function as floatation devices, but it’s not guaranteed. Also, the pond is not an Emergency Magic Smoke Release Stopper.
We were supposed to have a C02 fire extinguisher for that last purpose, but someone blew the Magic Smoke Containment Fund on bricks and chairs…
Sorry for the Tuesday judging on this one. With tornado warnings rolling through the area last night, I called in the BIWWTM Rule’s cousin, the Billfred Doesn’t Want To Wake Up In The Land Of Oz Rule.
