Cool, or funny things at champs

Did you see any cool or funny things at champs, post it below!

I saw this beautiful creation, I think I’ve found my soulmate :star_struck:

It actually was pretty cool, it’s base is just the drivetrain of an iBOT and it uses machine learning so it doesn’t run people over. It drove around giving out cool FedEx stuff like pens and a usb hub that’ll probably light on fire

The first time I don’t show up in 7 years and I miss out on this.

Even their stickers are adorable.

This fish is cooler than I’ll ever be.

At one point my dad and I ubered from our hotel to champs and were telling our driver about FIRST and we drove by a lot of people walking in. Best part was driving by the Elvis impersonator from 2992 and the driver just went, “is that an Elvis impersonator?!” He was so confused but also seemed rlly interested in champs

If any team was needing a clamping collar they could have just gone to benches just outside the venue and found plenty.

It was a pleasure meeting you and your friend! My friend (who’s in the photo) and I love the photo. The monkey was so cute!

I’m guessing you were the other girl there who was talking with us?

There was a team that had an LTE modem on their pit that provided their pit computer (a rack mount server console drawer) with internet. They also had a licensed and FRC legal wireless solution to beam internet to their apprentice team’s pit. They also had a VOIP phone that allowed them to call their apprentice team’s pit

I came across some members of 2582 who won the Team Spirit Award at FiT Champs, partly because of their very liberal distribution of glitter and self-adhesive gems to members of other teams and many volunteers. They said the area where their pit was 2 weeks ago still shows evidence of glitter.

I think I do remember you. I was the person in the hard hat.

@anon91718515 rocking short shorts, a fanny pack, and a Protect Trans Kids ribbon on his name tag spending a significant amount of time helping teams in need was without a doubt the coolest thing I saw at champs. FRC could do with more mentors like him! Thanks for all you do Joel!
