Bag and tag is gone and I’m still saying “ship day.”
Champs has moved two times and split once and I’m still talking about “qualifying to go to Atlanta.”
FIRST changed their website but I still type usfirst.org instead of firstinspires.org.

Calling wrenches spanners, and spanners as wrenches. Add adjustable wrench to the mix, and it confuses rookies.

Oh, you mean the hatch panels?
FIRST better make some more obvious names for Infinite Recharge. The item that robots interact with needs to have a short, one-word name, and be easily relatable to the shape.
We called the cube mech a gear mech all last year, too. At some point in the build season I just called everything a “thing” and pointed at it, usually after mumbling for 5-10 seconds.

It took me a while to go from calling “nationals” -> “worlds”.
We just call them hatches and balls.
