I would like to know what really powers your team to build the robot.
the driving force behind our building efforts are mentors with devices which deliver high voltage electrical shocks
does Ritalin count? i think half of the kids on my team take it.
triple espressos, chai, and Green Apple Jones.
No coke, pepsi… 
PEPSI!!! That’s my drink!
hamsters!
How did you guys learn how to power your team with hamsters? That is a well guarded process that only the wpi folks know about. I’m going to have to crack down on our security here.
tim
hahaha, how do you do it. i haev one, and so does a friend of mine, maybe we can set something up…
I would love to tell you, but that would be unfair for the rest of the team and frankly, a copyright infringement on our secret technology that is employed here on the wpi campus for our robot.
Sorry,
Tim
one key element to dual hamster powered propulsion, is to have the hamsters facing the same direction.
otherwise things happen.
bad things.
But first, have the hampsters drink Pepsi…
Where are the caffeine pills?

Jones SODA!!! WOOO Green Apple soda and mountain dew get me though the day
danielle/carolyn/whatever she calls herself always has a fit when we run out of pepsi.
bleh. chai? I had to make that sutff everyday when I worked at barnie’s coffee and tea. bleh bleh bleh.
I like coke myself. Coke and chewy chocolate chip cookies.
according to a sticker that happened to be put on our button box a couple years back…
Software Powers The Robot
(the bawls didnt go over as well as i had hoped with our software team though so i guess bawls doesnt power the software team and since the software team isnt powered by bawls then the robot is not powered by bawls
Mountain Dew …in 24 ounce MAGNUM bottles runs this geek!

**Where are the caffeine pills? **
mmmmmmmm, caffiene.
I popped a tin of these in about an hour. 75 mints per tin, 3 mints = one can of cola, you do the math.
Speaking of Bawls… any team who passes out Bawls at nats will get much praise from me.
One standard caffeine pill = 100 mg caffeine.
ALL SODA CAFFEINE COMPARISONS ARE BASED ON 12 Oz. CANS
Code Red Mountain Dew = 100.0 mg
Jolt = 100.0 mg
Mountain Dew = 55.0 mg
Mr. Pibb = 40.8 mg
Coke = 45.6 mg
Pepsi = 37.2 mg
RC cola = 36.0 mg
Dr. Pepper = 39.6 mg
There are of course many other sodas out there but those are the most common ones i think that people drink. As you can see mountain dew should still be considered the best because cola bites…so jolt it automatically thrown out the window due to its poor flavor and high cost. Code Red Dew is also disgusting but at least isnt costly like jolt. My conclusion : Mountain Dew is the best because it has the highest caffeine content of any of the good tasting yet affordable sodas to buy in bulk for all nighters 
I think i went through an entire 12 pack a night of the stuff…gotta love it. Plus it also has one of the highest sugar contents of any sodas.
INTERESTING FACT In Canada Mountain Dew has NO caffeine. Poor Canadians…they are deprived the joy of the dew 
As the official baker of team 691 I fuel my team with brownies, cookies, cupcakes…all that good stuff. Then, for lent I gave up caffeine (which includes chocolate) so I stopped baking because I would be too tempted to eat my creations. That didn’t go over well with my team who later tp’ed my house and left a box of brownie mix on my doorstep and told me to bake again.
I miss caffeine! I’m gonna be in Seattle (coffee heaven) and I can’t drink any of the good stuff until the day we leave, Easter!
PS. <GASP> how could anyway not like Code Red Mountain Dew. Its the only soda I drink and I love it!
