[aadb5e34288351d77b4de5ebc31e81ee_l.jpg] Field Reset was a lot of work, but you can’t beat the front row seat.

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

Go!

[EricH]

648 preloaded their robot once. The field staff promptly built it into the wall of bins.

[GaryVoshol]

This picture was reviewed by the Game Design Committee about 10 years later.

GDC1: “Stacking was a great game, let’s try it again.”
GDC2: “Yes, but there was so much damage to the bins.”
GDC3: “Maybe if we used totes instead of bins …”
GDC1: “And no defense!”

Thus was born Recycle Rush.

[cgmv123]

Why did that one team make their robot look like one of the containers?

2003 Field Reset: go back to Stack from Attack.

[Osby]

The low bar presented a overwhelming obstacle for the guy stacking bins.

He was responsible for breaking 50% of the broken bins, falling on them after tripping over the bar.

Special thanks to our friends at Show Ready Events for spotlighting only the arena, door four, and the gentleman standing in section 32F of the stands.

[Wayne_Doenges]

The audience took the name of the game literally and started to attack the stack.

[DonRotolo]

It was all good until one of the ‘bins’ sprouted legs and started walking away. Darned freshmen…
