I see Mike Walker has already gotten a jump on 2006 with the traditional “what’s this year’s game” thread, complete with the traditional “water competition” response. Here’s a few I expect to see with the next few days (maybe I should go ahead and post them so we can get it over with):
What do you think of this year’s game? (usually posted within a nanosecond of the unveiling)
Who has finished their robot? (At least two people will claim to have it built by Sunday)
How fast is your robot?
Poll: Does your robot <fill in all the stuff for the game>?
Poll: Is your drive train <fill in all the usual suspects>?
Does anyone have specs on <fill in every motor in the kit>?
Don’t forget who has the best robots (which people will name well known teams without even seeing if they even seeing the robot at all) and who will win <fill in whatever event applies> within the first week of the build season.
Well, we’ve already had the “LOL GUYZ I CRACKED THE PDF ENCRYPTION (jk)” thread, so we’re right on track so far. Here are my predictions:
• How does your team abuse freshmen?
• The entire team contracted $disease from the pizza at $regional, what do we do?
• My team is sooo much more graciously professional than yours.
