The rules, for the newbies.

As always, the deadline is nominally Sunday at midnight Eastern but I will still literally be in the air at that point so there. I’ll be in Houston, serving as scorekeeper on Hopper along with some alumni duties, so feel free to submit your entry in person.

Go!

Ed: "You put your left hand in, you put your left hand out, you put your left hand in…

Hey, wait a minute, why doesn’t anybody else want to join me in the Hokey Pokey?"

“You take a left on to US 67 and keep going south till you get to Houston.”

So just behind these curtains is where dreams are made, and more often than not, broken, just like the robot when it falls after scaling the tower.

NO RUNNING IN THE PITS

Announcer: “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.”
Koko Ed: “You better pay attention if you want to play in the finals!!!”

Koko Ed: And you could win…
Announcer: [Curtain Drops] A NEW CAR!!!

Come on guys, we’ve only been doing this for two days. No, your field is to your RIGHT! YOUR right. That’s wrong! Not my right. This way! No, not that way! Over there! Forget it.

Despite all his efforts, Ed just confirmed his hypothesis - no one ever listens to the Queuers.

Vanna White he ain’t…

Teams with student-built robots, teams with team-built robots, teams with mentor-built robots, and teams with sponsor built robots, each inspiring in its own way. Koko Ed shows us just how big the FRC tent is.

One does not simply storm Koko Ed’s castle.

The all-powerful leader of the Queue Continuum can bend time and space to get teams to their matches using merely a gesture.

For teams and their students, mentors, and robots, volunteers, spectators, and all others at the event when they needed some time without hearing another Qualcomm commercial…or when the drive teams had to queue for a match, which also allowed them to avoid Qualcomm commercials.

The Qualcomm-Comercial-Free Zone and FRC Team Queueing Area presented by [SPONSOR REDACTED] was an excellent feature at the FIRST Championship, and will be missed.

Alright, let’s get this done before pits open again.

First place goes to:

Second place goes to:
