Meeting with Team-ID

INTERVIEW OF THE TEAM ID TEAM
(Philippe Sigrist special report)

1.PS: You are beginning to be well known in the region. You are getting on a lot of people's nerves because you win a lot, but Team ID, what does it mean exactly?
Team ID: Well, it was necessary for us to find a name, then one began to make a stupid game between us. We wanted something that would sound young and cool. We found the word "timide" (shy in French) in the dictionary, so we decided to keep it.

2. PS: You won these last two years the Swiss cup, and you finished second of the European cup in 2004. You are a the favorites of this Swiss edition, aren't you?
Team ID: Yes, it seems to be. We try to forget this to avoid the pressure. Anyway We restart everything from the very beginning, 'cause we didn't keep anything from last year. We keep the faith!!!

3. PS: What did you prepare this year to destroy your opponents?
Team ID: The rotative shooting turret!

4. PS: I've been told that making robots is not really appreciated by girlfriends. Besides, the winners win only the respect of the public, when this one understands something with robots. For you it's neither a question of sex, nor of money. But what makes you run?
Team ID: This is a question that kills! We are a little masochist, but winning gives us a good excuse to party. And making a robot is also a good reason to miss the courses at the university. And it gives us good practice for our future professional life.

5. PS: An investigation is in progress about a robot that fell down in the gutter of the game table during the qualifications. Do you know something about that?
Team ID: Yep, we just started to punish the guilty party.

6. PS: What do you think of the institutionalization of saving systems of decentralized credits, and what will be the consequences of it on your involvement to the Swiss cup next year?
Team ID: One has only one thing to say: dirty trick of shit communism!
