“Why, oh why, didn’t we allow teams to bring their own PEGS? It worked so well with the ropes!”
Do I need to change this spring again?
Why is it always just the red of blue alliance? When can the volunteers win a match?!
O Lord have mercy. I never realized when we designed these things that it would result in my picture being in Frank’s Blog and the Caption Contest in the same week!
[npoe]This is not really a caption contest picture. It’s an illustration of the new BIWFAGP rule - Billfred Is Waiting For A Good Picture. [/npoe]
After changing out these springs for the past 6 weeks, I can now do it without even looking.

What do you mean, I changed the one good peg?
Springs sure seemed like a good idea at the time.
Wait 150lb robots running into these might actually damage them.
These springs bend so much they might as well be made out of paper machète
I sure wish they would stop cheering every time I replaced a spring…

Might I suggest for Billfred a nice picture of everyone’s favorite Einstein MC from this past weekend https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DEy3VIzXgAAm68-.jpg:large

“See how much of a nightmare these springs are, how can you guys still want a water game after this?! Bendy metal is one thing, liquid is a whole other pool of problems.”
I heard if you just look at the pegs they’ll break…
Even if I tell the truth it keeps growing longer!
Why did we make the screws on one side metric and the other side fractional?
Ummmm excuse me did you just assume my alliance?

I’ve changed this peg almost as many times as the DJ played Cotton Eye Joe…
Don’t we have robots for this?
“Volunteer for FIRST” they said … “It’ll be fun!” they said …
[nae] I think you have the relationship backwards … [/nae]
