That would be awesome

🌊🌊WATER GAME IS FINNALY GOING TO BE HERE 🌊🌊

[@TalonTech-Robotics23713]

YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LaughingBirdz]

For the first 10 secs, I thought I had to make the robot waterproof😂😂😂😂😂

[@Megastar54]

Excited to watch this live with my team to kick off the season!

[@HayterwaveMedia]

11:00 you're welcome

[@dorianjack]

I’m so glad there’s no water 😮‍💨 high ascent looks insane tho

[@Monkeyface678]

Yeah, especially because you have to get onto the low rung and off the ground before you can touch high rung

[@dorianjack]

@@Monkeyface678 and to high ascent you have to be fully above the low bar 😭😭😭

[@aratof18]

good luck to all the teams!!!

[@SulistyaAnggraeni-z6l]

Thank you 😊

[@Themattandnolanpodcast]

Thanks

[@tthesilliestt]

good luck ^_^

[@TombXRider]

The water goggles are crazy

[@Aritheartist306]

Good luck to all FTC teams!

[@OctacoreRobotics]

Sounds intriguing, we're so excited! 🤖

[@dannyblantom5243]

10:45 is them explaining the mechanics for anyone wondering

Imagine if we had to use specific underwater parts for the game

[@thegamerwonderswhy2563]

Hell for software if theres water on the field 😭wiring is gonna be so annoying

[@UnofficialEngineering]

That's why you mill with mm precision. Your enclosure must be smaller than that of a water-molecule.

[@thegamerwonderswhy2563]

@@UnofficialEngineering 😭hell for mechanical too

[@UnofficialEngineering]

@@thegamerwonderswhy2563 you mean a propeller? Why is that hell?!

[@thegamerwonderswhy2563]

​@@UnofficialEngineering a propeller wouldn't really work tho would it? idrk; im a software person

[@whoppidk]

i went to a kickoff at a highschool for ftc, there's no water if there was too much teams would fail because most are probably middleschoolers

[@Wali.D-bi9qj]

I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁🤗😆

[@HrishabhJaiswal-r3g]

So thrilled to see the game of ocean! 🌊

[@ingencorp1]

Dozer bot is love, dozer bot is life!

[@sacredaily]

Having described the season's theme in detail from open sources, I tried to ask a question in the ChatGPT and was surprised by the answers and analogies from previous seasons related to water.

[@americancow598]

Yo the deans list award winners were in the intro!

[@user-ri2ql5pl5y]

Really excited for this season

[@iiMaglo]

Why did the robot do a backliver 😭😭🙏

[@anim8ted923]

1. The robot must climb on the Low Rung before it can climb on the High Rung. 2. When it's done climbing, it must be completely above the Low Rung. I'm sure some teams will figure out how to do this with less gymnastics. 😀

[@Invisible-Atlas]

I was so scared that there might be actual water involved, it would be a pain to waterproof the robots T-T

[@user-ee6up8ss9e]

36 hour's lets go

[@Cooliokid956]

Where's My Water? 🐊 🚿

[@frostytoads1560]

That's what I'm saying!!!

[@frankieboyofficial]

Perhaps some are salty the hopes of actually taking the plunge into the sea has evaporated

[@Evaporous]

The one piece is real 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

[@TinOfGarbage]

[@anasbaitulmal106]

This season is going crazyyyy

[@DinoArtist-lk7gj]

[@Gaslightuh]

[@cherrylost6051]

Ngl that kinda sounds scary, but I’m so excited for this into the deep.

[@dan-gy9tj]

Good luck teams!!

[@TheIndubitables20077]

Hello from 20077! RIP our field to water damage 🌊🌊

[@Velocishark]

video starts at 10:50

[@RiedElliott]

Fairly good video I do have a few things to say about it first why does almost everyone in the video look so dead?! Most of them look like they don’t care about this season or FTC(which I know is not true) so I think that the people should at the very very least smile. Also my absolute biggest hate of this season is that they go and retire the promote award. Why?!?! What did it ever do to you?!?! It is/was my favorite award to go for and to make a funny video with my team was the best. Please consider bringing it back in the future.

[@anim8ted923]

Remember these are not professional actors. It's hard to act natural when a camera & lights are pointing at you.

[@RiedElliott]

@@anim8ted923 yes but like I said at least try

[@quarfg]

[@sbo1122]

LETS GOOO WATER GAME

[@nithinsaw]

sorry to break it to you guys but dozer pushbot isn't the meta this year

[@UnofficialEngineering]

It's John Lennon from Yellow Submarine. Not canon yet, but there is lore🤔

[@andresbustos7077]

That actually might be a hint into the event, bulldozer robot can play it

[@UnofficialEngineering]

@@andresbustos7077 yes, a fine-tuned stepper-motor can play musical-notes🎵

[@botsomethingorother]

I have bad news

[@ahmedmahgoub85]

This game has absolutely nothing to do with water or the deep.. not even like cleaning plastic straws or fish shaped pieces

[@santosbruzon]

Don’t question the sponsors you fool

[@Penguinmonke1]

We got scammed

[@JaceWilburn-g2m]

Screw the turtles. It’s not my fault they don’t know a straw isn’t healthy

[@randomwolf08]

I'm so curious 👀👀👀
