So, when safety tech, scouting mentor and I arrived at our pit this morning, we found this:
Balloons everywhere. Our robot covered in posters and stickers. Cup walls and stacks everywhere.
The culprits?
Team 7404. The Wired Boars.
Upon being asked, they said that when they were blowing up balloons yesterday, this was the plan all along.
Just after the discovery, they had to double queue. That’s when pit crew took charge.
We took a single stack of cups and built this on their work bench. However that was not enough. It took 3 minutes. There were many stacks of cups. 10 minutes later we began the wall.
4-6 teams came throughout construction to lend some help. It stretched completely around the perimeter of the 7407 pit. It was 13 rows tall and towered over many students. One kid from another team jumped over the top chest in the back and made a pentagram in the center. Reminder, this was in the time it took for Choate to double queue and return from their match.
Upon return, they discovered our masterpiece. They were shocked and laughing.
Later we found about 20 posters in our t-stack drawers. Not sure how many are left.
Any ideas for the next round?
