Yes, you heard it here first. For the 2002 FIRST Competition, we will have to make tacos with robots. A tasty Mexican treat for the judges. 
THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS…
Imagine if we could give them speakers so they could save spanish phrases…or if they had sombraros (sp?) and other mexican cloths…
I also should start paying attention more in Spanish…j/k
ME GUSTA TACOS!!!
I’m curious; would the scoring be done objectively or subjectively? 
Tacos are the future of robotic sports.
aaaahhhhh, finally. thats all i need is a Pecos Bill Chille Burrito from Roscoe’s Taco’s. They are the BEST!!! all of you people from Indy’s southside know what i am talking about:D, not like there are a lot of you who post on here.
don’t even remind me of spanish class clark, this is comming from someone who barely passed with a D- last year.:rolleyes:
me no likeo espanolo…lol…I like Tacos…but i hate spanish…my worst class i have ever taken…
Me likes tacos. Mmmmmmmmm… Yummy… I never took spanish though so I can’t say anything about it, but I can make really good tacos. Has anyone ever heard of Speedy Gonzales Tacos? They have taco burgers :D. That’s some good stuff.

my question is how did you get this infomation ahead of everyone else? Who did you hear it from? and do you even know if this is a reliable source?
That Team 713 is a rookie team. Well let me be the first one to let Team 713 know not to believe every word you read on Chief Delphi.com We CD posters have a wierd sense of humor!
Good luck rookies!

Just a comment about that… not ALL CD posters have that weird sense of humor… And, by the way… Rumor mill is a place for… well… “rumors”… Let’s just keep any kind of “rumors” in this place…

I know that this is a place where rumors go. However, some rumors are true. This is why I wanted to know where his sources are from. By the way this name is used by about 4 people and not all of us are rookies to this site (just rookie posters)
My sources tell me that the 2002 competition will officially be called ‘PartyBots.’ The robots will have to assemble & serve foods & drinks, specifically Tacos & Mountain Dew. The Pepsi corperation has invested great sums of money this year, and has formed a partnership between its Taco Bell and Mountain Dew brands to sponsor the 2002 FIRST Competition. Microsoft has invested as well, and all members of winning teams get an X-Box.

Microsoft already loses a whole bunch of money on the x-box, why not give 'em away?
Hmm…sounds like everyone’s sources were quite hungry. I think the judges just wanted a free lunch and dinner.

The taco idea is funny. I took some Spanish…but that was in 8th grade and freshie year…though my mom sometimes forces me to speak it b/c she needs “practice.” Riight. She’s fluent and teaches it all day long…oh well. And I vote for tacos from Casa de Tacos in St. Augustine in N. Florida…they are the best (real stake in tacos…yummy!).
~Angela who is getting hungry about now, even though it’s only a bit after nine in the morning
Heak with making tacos for the judges our robout only makes tacos for me MMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
I guess if the robot is supposed to make tacos then the mascot has to be a Chihuahua. Does that mean no more hamsters…
Mmmm… Tacos… what if we could make a robot to not only serve tacos and drinks, but keep a salsa shark running… That would be funny…
“Salsa shark. We’re gonna need a bigger boat. Heh.”
such a dearth of good americanized mexican food here… (esp. with it not being america and all). you know you have it bad when you’re looking forward to coming home to the quality food of taco bell.
hey wait, that’s it… use FIRST as a way to bring culture to the brits… in the form of fake mexican food! (don’t forget the sour cream)

if i were cleverer, you’d be reading a .sig now
Wait?! There’s a team from the United Kingdom now?
Wow, when did that happen?
…I’m glad we stopped whining about travel expenses. Those folks from Brazil and the UK can have the floor.
Anyway, welcome to FIRST
Okay, the whole UK team threw me off a bit…but, you also have a team number between 716-800. That’s the first time I’ve seen that. What I want to know…is how you guys found out about FIRST and what made you decide that you’re flying all the way out here to compete. How many competitions are you going to?
Anyway, to stay with relevance to the tread…just out of curiousity, does that mean your robot has to be food/sauce resistant? I could imagine that it would be pretty bad if your robot accidentally spilled fire sauce on all the wires and such. And what happens if they spill everything on the judge? Is that a deduction (as well as having that judge hate you for the rest of the competition :))? I hope the judges brings a whole lot of spare clothing.
