I have been trying to think of a contest or two to run this year.
But I haven’t had any good ideas.
The best I can come up with is a “I didn’t see that one coming” GIF contest where folks would submit GIFs like of something crazy happening on the field (maybe something like THIS << I still laugh every time I watch that clip).
I don’t know…
Is there interest in such a contest?
Does anyone have a better idea?
If we can come up with something good, I’ll see if I can get my wife to agree to let me give out $10 gift cards again each week.
Pilots forgetting to release ropes or use the reserve gear.
Amusing streams of fuel shot somewhere other than the boiler.
Robots that rely on the pilot to pull the gear up from them being forgotten(and completely stuck) on the lift.
Tortuga on top of a gear or fuel.
Gears are going to end up in robot hoppers and it will be interesting and funny how they get there. I think a reward for most gears carried at once might be good.
I also think we will see more than a few pilots desperately trying to avoid streams of fuel being shot in their direction.
A constellation of gears on the carpet, especially in a small area (probably loading station or in front of a lift).
Joe, there are so many things that can go wrong with this game, but none of them quite as epic as the tortuga. Any such contest is going to have to be a complete judgement call. To categorize at all, I have these three suggestions:
Good things (e.g. forty fuel in the air headed towards a boiler, three gear or 40kPa autos)
