Justin Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 With all the hype of BB and now CB blowing snow, when will Blue start? I honestly think they're smart by not blowing yet. BB is doing it for their rail jam (viable reason) and CB is doing it because their idiots and want publicity. I know Blue is holding off until at least after thanksgiving to open with more than like one trail. The rail jam will probably be only one or two rails and CB is just retarded. Most snow they blow will melt quickly, wasting money and energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 On the webcam it looks like they're blowing...why won't Kmar or other Blue reps tell us so we can stop speculating??? I know...on the webcam it looks like theres a full base down already... But if they actually started they would be all over with announcing it. My guess is that they should be open by Dec 9th, if not the first weekend in December...I'm so mad that I'm gonna be in Alabama Dec 6-10th...I hope I get in at least one day of skiing before then....oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Dude if I was a robot building pimp I'd be in Alabama too..there's hot women that like nerds in Alabama..I think...haha I ain't no nerd, son, hahaha I just happen to build robots and shit. Everybody makes fun of me in school for it, but in respect that I'll whoop their ass harder than a moose on steroids....I'm sort of like a jock at school, varsity xcountry, varsity crew team, and I play ice hockey...they should change the robotics team to like the manly man super duper endurance death fighting team, or something like that.

Justin Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Justin have you ever watched battle-bots...I mean the term nerd as a compliment..I'm a ski nerd... YES That was my all time favorite show. I've built a couple of 30lbers, in fact in Feb I'm going to Motorama 07 in Harrisburg to fight mine for NERC (NE Robot Conflict) That shit is so fun, building a robot capable of utter death and then throwing it in a ring with another one with the sheer intent to destroy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great that your school has a robotics club, I wish there was some thing like that available like that when I was in high school. Do you have any pictures of the bot your competing with, or have with in the past? Harrisburg isn't far from my school, so I might have to try to get there to watch. Also is the competition you're going to in Alabama the FIRST competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justo8484 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 when will blue blow? it already does come on now, thats harsh. boulder and frost were pretty shabby in the past, although it seems like boulder is making an effort this year.

method9455 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 yea I went to a meeting about the U Delaware team for the autonomous car, and that shit was WAY over my head as a freshman, give me a few years. I'm probably going to end up with a concentration in robotics here, that shit is so interesting. Our schools speciality is teams of robots working together, they have a whole lab here where they have like 10 mini robots working together to do a task. Pretty nuts when you get into it.

skifreak Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I'd say no. They probably won't do it because its going to be warm early this week. Plus right now its probably border line of making snow up there. I think its going down to 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
