We recently discovered our blocker configuration when practicing this past weekend. How many years of game pieces are in this photo?
Clearly, the answer to your question is “not enough”. 
Need more cowbell.
Love
A soccer ball could have easily been implemented, though I doubt you could fit a trackball :yikes:
Are those…floppies?!
I don’t think that’s a polite question to ask man…
Needs more Tetras!
Those things are practically antiques. I can’t imagine there are many surviving examples of those left these days.
We’ve got one encased in lexan as part of a thank you from Team 379 for mentoring them during their early existence. It’s on display at the National Packard Museum as part of a larger exhibit.
I’d pay to acquire a free range floppy, however.
Just wondering Pinecone, will you guys be posting the CAD up for this one? I’d love to check out some of the features.
Do I get a bonus for naming them all? Or just a “you’ve been here too long”?
2x floppies (1999’s Double Trouble)–and how you saved 2 I’ll never know.
1x basketball (2012’s Rebound Rumble)
1x Orbit Ball, moon-rock class (2009’s Lunacy, AKA “the OTHER game that shall not be named”)
1x white ring inner tube, which is most likely from 2011’s Logomotion but could theoretically be from 1997’s Toroid Terror. (The game piece type was also used in 2007, but only in red and blue.)
5 game pieces from 4 different years. And the robot is designed to handle none of them.
The question is, how does a team formed in 2006 have a game piece from 1999?
Borrowed from a mentor team, I would guess.
Do I get points for knowing that?
The practice field is shared with team 20 I’m fairly positive they would be the source. Or another local team.
Team 2791 was formed in 2009. This picture is from this weekend and was taken at a shared practice field facility with local teams in the area. Many past robots from teams 20 and 1493 reside at the practice facility and some of them carry old game pieces with them as cargo. The white tube is from Logomotion, but the 1997 robot is at the practice facility as well.
The real takeaway here is that those game pieces are older than some freshmen on FRC teams :ahh: .
I believe there are 2-3 more floppies at the field along with a few 2006 poof balls, a 2008 track ball, and a few other goodies.
The great thing is at the Technokat’s shop we have at least 4-5 floppies, some original sterilite tubs, a couple of tetras, a bag of aim high poof balls, a bin of unused rack n roll tubes, 1.5 trackballs, a christmas tree 5 feet by 6 feet made of orbit balls, ~5 logomotion tubes intact, 15 rebound rumble balls, and 15 frisbees. The only cool game piece we lack are corn and tennis balls
Story?
449 has a big bag of unused poofballs. By big I mean 20-30 still in the bag.
