Robotics Trivia

Rules:
I will ask a question.
Someone else has to respond with the answer.
You may not reply to a question made by someone from your own team.
Questions must be related to your team history.
Once I reply saying that an answer was correct, the person who guessed the correct answer can ask another question.
The game keeps going forever…this is my theory

Lets begin!

Question #1:
What does SPAM stand for? (Remember, no one from team 180 may answer this question.)

Jon from SPAM, team 180

EddieMcD · January 12, 2003, 5:03pm

S=South Fork HS
P=Pratt & Whitney
A=I believe means “and”
M=Martin County HS

Proving that I have no life.

Good Job!

SPAM means
South Fork High School, Pratt & Whitney and Martin County High School

Now you ask a question and when someone guesses the correct answer, tell them.

Jon from SPAM, team 180

OK, then I will put out another question.

Question:
What is the name of the red piece on the front of Fluffy, SPAM’s robot from last year?

You’re going to have to streamline this whole process if you want it to work. People generally don’t come back to threads unless something new has happened. One possible suggestion: have the person who answered the question ask a new one without waiting to find out if it is right or wrong. This would make it so if one person leaves the game can still go on. Just my 2c.

I just wanted to try making a thread. I didn’t care if it worked. Go ahead and post questions. Whether this game continues, I don’t care.

I thought it was my turn to ask a question.

Let’s see then, since Eddie’s teamless, I’ll have to ask something about FIRST in general. Ooh! I got one: What year did FIRST make tipping other machines over illegal?

anon91315253 · January 14, 2003, 10:04pm

1998,
after Rhodewarrior had some fun in 97 breaking TJ^2 over and over again. (or so the story goes)

What FIRST team (from NH) has been in FIRST since 1992, but remains unrecognized as a “12 year team” due to a sponsor change?

chellyzee93 · January 15, 2003, 6:08pm

What was dean’s first invention?

Hmm… wild guess on this one. I’m going to say 16, Baxter Bomb Squad. Again, wild guess.

What was dean’s first invention?

I believe it was the automated syringe.

Mullet · January 15, 2003, 7:19pm

I have no question. I just have to say it is great to see a member of FIRST also showing he is a proud WWE fan. Too bad it is the Hurricane.

Oh well, no one is perfect.

The team was from New Hampshire…BBS is from Arkansas…

My guess is 811

My question:

What device on the Kokomo High School robot of 1992 was banned from future FIRST competitions to this day?

Katie_Reynolds · January 15, 2003, 7:58pm

Throwing projectiles (corn from the playing field)?

EddieMcD · January 15, 2003, 8:44pm

Ahh… classic FIRST bots…

Ew, I missed the NH reference in the Q. Lets see here: Chaos(131) is recognized, so I gotta go with 501. I’ll also throw out 40 and 238 just because, well, I can.

Projectiles is correct, but it was tennis ballss (i think thats what I was told. Ill double check today) Anyway Katie is DQ’d…I told her that before

chellyzee93 · January 16, 2003, 5:11pm

LOL>------you have that power?

How many teams are from MI?

Jeff_Waegelin · January 16, 2003, 5:31pm

There are 84 teams from MI. Which state(s) has/have more?

EddieMcD · January 16, 2003, 7:46pm

I believe New York has more (most of them came in the 2001 season).

Doh! How could I forget about 131…Thats your answer

The only recognized Original teams: 19, 45, 126, 190, 191, 250

Really? I thought 131 was recognized.
