[FRC Blog] The 2017 FIRST Robotics Competition Teaser, DLC Pack 1, and Teaser Aftersh

FIRST really does enjoy watching us squirm with their teasers, don’t they?

I’ll be hiding in my cave, hibernating until the game is out

Your team has a cave?!?!? OMG, how did you guys get that?!?! Do you have a cave sponsor? We tried talking to cave sponsors but none of them responded. You guys must be an elite team to have a cave.

Darn elite teams and their mentor-built caves.

More importantly, if elite teams have professional mentors that build their caves, that must mean that “professional cave-builder” is an actual job, and I am now strongly reconsidering my career choice.

Did somebody mention a CAVE?

Full disclosure: I get to ‘work’ in a 4 sided projector wall CAVE that we have here at Boeing. It’s pretty cool.

You guys must sponsor that one team on The Fosters!

Too bad that team got knocked out in the end, they really had a great strategy and a solid design. I was rooting for them throughout it.

Honestly though, having a cave would be one of the greatest places to build a robot. There’s already lack of light and lots of floor space! Well, if you have a good cave sponsor, that is.

When the electrical team is soldering, I’m stepping out.

We had a code-cave, a few years ago. Programmers went in, but not much code came out until we ran a long Ethernet cable to reach the robot.

After our shop was completely remodeled, we lost the code-cave. But, now we can see our programmers. They actually touch the robot, and not just to plug in! Some of them even drive! I don’t ever want them going back in a cave again.

According to Google Maps, it’s about 5-1/2 hours from Gotham to Rochester. :smiley:

Why Gotham when we’ve got the real deal around these parts.

No way, this is only 2 hours away! I need to take a visit there sometime

Hate to break it to you, but the REAL Batcave is out in CA. (No, really. It’s in Griffith Park, in Los Angeles.)

Hmmm. not sure if he’s trolling, or if he really thinks The Batman is a fictional character…

:smiley:

You think I’m joking? Batcave.

:rolleyes::stuck_out_tongue:

Trolling a bit, but that link does point to the exit from the Batcave, as seen in the TV show. (Among other films and TV shows.)

He really does think The Batman is a fictional character! You are a sad, strange, little man, and you have my pity.

I always thought the Bat Cave was in North Carolina. Just drove past this sign …
