Smuggling food into the convention center

VEX Robotics Competition Discussion VRC > Previous Games
#1

We’re not allowed to bring outside drinks/food into the convention center, so we need to come up with ways to smuggle boxes of chips/cases of water into the center.

I’m considering using bags of potato chips as packing peanuts for my robot and shipping it directly to the convention center. I might fill up our toolbox with bottles of water too.

What are some of your ideas for getting snacks/drinks into the convention center?

We could perhaps stash food in 1107B’s super stacker…:rolleyes:

I don’t think its smart posting this thread… I think we will just bring like 1 or 2 water bottles each in our backpacks and buy lunch/snacks at the convention center

that is all

I was like :confused: for about 10 seconds until I realised what you meant. :smiley:

Aaaanyway, all jokes aside, this seems like a poor idea. Though, if people decide to do this, 1107b is definitely advantaged :smiley:

“mediumdave, why are you making crunching sounds as you walk?”

“oh, um, no reason”

#12

I know this is crazy talk, but how about following the rules that your school/team knew about and agreed to by registering for the event? If you don’t like the rules, don’t attend. Wouldn’t that be more honest?

#13

Is there an eating area within the convention center where we’re allowed to bring food?

If not, where is the nearest place outside the convention center where we’re allowed to bring our own food?

Also,

Is wifi available so we can post on the Vex forums?

#14

Rules were meant to be broken:D:D:D:D:D (cliche response)

#15

You can eat outside…

#16

i do not like to eat outside unless im really really hungry!!!

#17

Actually, it’s been quite warm outside the past couple of days and should stay that way for the rest of Nationals. Just order some pizza and sit outside. Bring a blanket, some sparkling grape juice and a kite and you will have yourself a picnic!

#18

Um we were kinda talking about the World Championships… Eating outside is great in California during the spring.

#19

Smart. I know this sounds dumb but how do you post a message. I mean like a question, not what I am doing now. I mean thread.
