Allrighty, in response to some stuff on the other 2 threads, keep it clean pleaze. he's right, ya dont know who's reading these things from FIRST, even our own team...ya know? so pleaze, id like to keep the respect i get and still have fun on this thing.
It's startin already. 38, 38, 38. Just kidding!
I'm not gonna sell myself. Maybe I will. Bid starts at $2. Do I hear $2??
Anyways, meeting cool people from other teams is cool. Plus, if you ned up pissing some new person off, you don't have to worry about a 13 hour bus ride with them. That sucked.

I don't know anything about this business, but found it with a quick search on yahoo. Neither do I plan on wearing a kilt at the competitions, though I have been in Scotland.
My school has a Scot theme. I used to be in the marching band (and we have a BIG one) and so I wore kilts quite often. I've tried to convince the team to wear kilts for a while, but there's much opposition.;)

My school just has this stoopid dream catcher theme, scott theme sounds cool. Whats ur maskot like the fighting irish or something. And Kit, wearn the kilt, it means free cocktails at the bar, really it does!!!!!

common Kit Gerhart!! It would be soo cool to see one of the adults wearing a kilt!!!! I may consider attending the nats on my own now... hmmm.....
Carolyn Duncan
25-01-2002, 21:35
Adam, you are gonna get bought. Who wouldn't buy you? I fear that no one ould bid on me so I'll stay off the block. heh
Oh Carolyn, you know I would bid for you!!
So now I hear $2!!!! Do I have $4?? $4 ?!?!?!

Bidding on people: is that legal?
But if anyone's remotely interested: *points down to my signiture*
Actually, eBay got in a bit of trouble for that, someone was auctioning off babies or something like that...funny!
Haven't you ever heard of a bachelor auction though?!? You don't BUY them so to speak, you buy a NIGHT with them. Or, well, that sounds wrong. More of, they buy an evening/date. I dunno, I was at a bar waiting for a band to play and there was one going on.
EddieMcD
25-01-2002, 22:33
Apparently the point of sarcasm is lost...
But still: *points down to signiture*
No, see, the point of sarcasm was taken. I just decided to pretty much ignore it and provide some trivial knowledge I have. I dunno, maybe the ego blocked some vision?
I'm really just playing.

Personally i shop at a great place on the web www.utilikilt.com . They have great kilts. Personally i will be wearing my kilt authentically. Also we do need adults wearing kilts. I think we would all take up a collection to pay for some of the adults on this board to wear a kilt and rally in support of kilts. Klark you definatley need to wear a kilt and so does dave and joe johnson. We need to start an organization. Kilts 4 FIRST. Carolyn needs to wear a Kilt.
My team has said that they refuse to wear kilts. I say you suck, kilts rule!.
Oh Dave,
You know it's all fun and games. I'm not really sure I really would get you back, I'm too afraid of your rebuttle. Plus, is it really all the same with Alisha in Equador?!? Man can you tricky....
Wear a kilt....hmmm. Maybe one of those suits that Russell Crowe wears in Gladiator. We do kind of have that gladiator theme. Maybe I should just stop talking before I dig my hole any deeper.

25-01-2002, 23:29
*steps between Adam and Eddie* that's enough guys. I've heard of a bachelor auction, you bid on a date with the guy. Eddie, I've read your sig... I also happen to know that the man shark sub thingie is sitting on the bottom of the ocean... ;) :p Me on the other hand... I'm a lost cause.

I think that I can safely speak for both Dr. Joe and myself when I say that this conversation will go no farther unless an offer of some serious cash is involved. And we will not accept any Ecuadorian dollars from Alisha!

Why should I ever want to grow up? I am having too much fun as it is.
cash splash.... i want a kilt for nationals!!!
I'm poor, but I'll make a kilt for someone to wear. It may not be authentic, but I'll make one!!

Really! A nice wool kilt can be quite warm. My school just has a general Scot theme, by the way. Highlanders.

Cash = Short
Nats = Kilts
Cheap Material = Kilts
Duct Tape = Cheap Material
Cheap Material= Good
If Cash = Short, then Cheap = Good
If Cheap = Good, then Cheap Material = Good
If Cheap Material = Good, then Duct Tape = Cheap Material
If Duct Tape = Cheap Material, then Duct Tape = Kilt
If Duct Tape = Kilt, then Kilt = Nats + Me = Kilt + Me

My school's tartan is one on the Menzies. Some kilted people. (http://robodox.tripod.com/kilted.html) (I'm on the far right)
I'd rather find a way to make a good kilt out of Duct tape. Chics can wear kilts too I suppose... and there's the more skirt-like kinds too.
A duct tape kilt would be best if the tape were attached to some cloth, and then you'd have to pleat the tape-fabric like a kilt...

On the subject of Duct Tape kilts.. it's called colored electrical tape.. you make the duct tape underlay, then plaid it with stripes of electrical tape..
I've thought this all out.. And I'm starting within the next week.. if I get a good system on creation down, I'll let you guys all know!!

[COLOR=purple] What does the fact that I'm a moron have to do with anything? If you can end your auction when you want I get to end mine too! I chose to end it now before there are any bids. Silly...

He's actually being competant.. If Gore was in there, he'd take too long to strike back.. And that would be that..
As for anything else.. I lose brain cells in seeing or hearing him speak..

I can't believe that no one knows what wearing a kilt authenticaly means, it means nothing but the kilt. If you want to get an inexspensive kilt go to a thrift store. Yes if you buy the kilts new they will run anywhere from 110 to 600. How much Dew would Joe Johnson ,kit, and dave like? I will see what i can do to procure some dew. I am also gets these kilts personalixed. If some one could design a kilts for first logo that would be great. I could probably get iron on logos printed and have them for the people that want them.
If you can come up with a logo post here. or email me at mnkysp6353@msn.com
If we do get personalized kilts i will try to get one for carolyn.

Ok i call 12, but i thought we were betting on Carolyn
Sorry to post abit off topic, but no one has said anything about a Chain Malle Kilt, and as i seem (when not participating in FIRST) to be in the hobby of Chainmalle making, I suppose wearing one to Nationals would suprise quite a lot of people.
Just a thought.

Oh you silly people....
You guys are bidding on ME right now. I'm the the subject on auction, I'm the babbler, I'm it.
You silly, silly people.

Silly silly boys, I'm not up for auction, Adam is. I was bidding on him, no one is biding on me. But now I understand why there is a kilt person after me... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! No bids on me accepted! If you are lucky and good I may grace you with an appearance at a competition or 2...

I'm avoiding making any concrete plans so that I am not in the position of not keeping my promises to anyone. But I will say that I have no plans on wearing a kilt. Incase you missed my previous post I stated that it's tooooooooooooo cold for me to wear one. I will really be wearing long sleeves and jeans in the pits all day. I will say that I don't plan to miss the web hug perhaps I'll see you there...

ahhhhhh:eek:
the logic, it hurts my head!
l-o-g-i-c?
what is this l-o-g-i-c you speak of??:p
:eek:aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:eek:
You guys realize that Nationals is in florida right? you guys also realize that wool, duct tape, and chain malle are HOT. Yeah.. Don't reccomend... how about a nice fishnet kilt... (hahaha.) or.. silk.. or how about.. cotton.. haha how about we forget about kilts and everyone should just wear skirts. Boys in skirts. *yum* (is scottish - owns a kilt- cost over $200) ooh. Paper. haha. okay everyone.. stop listening to me.. now.
Are you new to 116 or do you just never spend time in the pits? If you spend more then 15 minutes in the pits, you need a sweater or something.
And oh god, not chainmale. We got your luvly old pal Jacob last year. Not around this year though. We have funny shots of other team members in his stuff.
I don't recall it being so cold last year...
Maybe thats because I was running all over the place being busy...
It was FREEZING and I WAS doing a lot running around.
Katie Reynolds
06-02-2002, 23:51
Just thinking about the pits last year makes me cold! I was running around and about the pits taking pictures and occasionally helping out or pit crew by talking to other teams. I put my long sleeved shirt over my tank top everytime I went into the pits lol! Brrrr! :cool:
- Katie :D
Kit Gerhart
07-02-2002, 00:31
It is always freezing in the pits when they first open. If it is sunny all day and gets up to 90deg or so, the pits start getting comfortable by mid-day. On an overcast day, the pits are cold all day long. Maybe this is a way to get people to go outside to reduce crowding in the pit tents.
Carolyn Duncan
07-02-2002, 00:58
Well I thought the pits were freezing. The first day of comps I was purple, and was called the popsicle. I had to be outside all day except for our matches when I was on the field. The following days I was wearing jeans and long sleeves all day.
Yeah I am a newbie... and I was thinking you guys meant kilts to wear for the entire time.... not just in the pits....... because Orlando isn't exactly a cool place... so yeah.. if the pit is cold... go for it..
It's ok, we forgive you this time....yeah, bring a sweatshirt for the pits.

07-02-2002, 13:18
I thought the pits were hot but that is because I love the cold and i usually dont get cold. yep cold weather is the weather for me. I thought our one engineers was crazy because he had a sweatshirt geans and steeltoe boots on. Oh wait he always has that on. I wore shorts and the most un comfortable team shirt ever. bright orange soccer gersey.
A. Snodgrass
07-02-2002, 22:59
I personally thought the pits were freezing....And I KNOW it wasnt just me. I found the difference between how cold it was inside and how warm it was outside to be interesting...it made clothing selection past bringing a sweatshirt difficult
It seemed to me that different parts of the pits were warmer then others. Kinda weird. Well, not really. But yeah...ok.
A. Snodgrass
07-02-2002, 23:18
Actually the hallway between the playing fields and the main pits was warmer...I didnt notice anyplace else though
AntiCrombieDuck
08-02-2002, 23:14
u guys need to stop complaining and just put the kilts on, u guys whine way too much!

I may have to borrow/steal Heathers, but I will wear one!!
I expect to see others follow my lead...

09-02-2002, 01:55
Well said antiecrombie, arent there any mountain people or boy scouts on this board.
I was a boy scout...
Now I am just a scout...
Who will be wearing a kilt!:D
Dude, I'm a hill billy and us hill billies get cold too. Now those Canadians need not complain.
Carolyn Duncan
09-02-2002, 02:56
Well, I now live in sunny Florida, but I'm still a country bumpkin at heart. I am always cold, except when I get hot... But anyway, were I to waer a kilt at nats it would be very easy to find me. Just look for the chic whos wrapped up in a big, fluffy, down comforter. If I don't have it with me I'll be the chic who is purple and looks dead. Neddless to say I will NOT be wearing a kilt at nats.
A. Snodgrass
09-02-2002, 04:18
neither will I....just doesnt sound all that attractive a suggestion with the temperature inside the pit varying so much from the temp outside. heavy jacket I probably WILL bring with me however
AntiCrombieDuck
09-02-2002, 11:14
first of all canadians, that is all i have too say ok.
Second, u girls should be wearing kilts too, dont make us guys be losers without u!
Dave_222

I thought the kilt discussion was over?
Carolyn Duncan
11-02-2002, 17:16
So how many people who plan to wear kilts are also planning to wear combat boots, have mohawks, and piercings? I guess what I'm really asking is are there any punks out there in FIRST land?
I plan on wearing a kilt and having red and black hair...
Beyond that, just your 'average' robotics junkie.
I could work the kilt/mohawk/piercings deal...
Though I'm not exactly punk... '
I'm not exactly anything actualy...
but I do have plenty of piercings...
and could probably get away with a mowhawk....
Donno what Jeff would think of that though....
oh and Jeff.. you're NOT taking my Kilt. My mother would KILL me... plus... i'm considering wearing it...
My mom has been bugging me to get my hair cut.....

HEH, I did that. Mine was down to my waist, then to the pic on the left, then at regionals I cut it a lil bit then I colored it a lil and I had a wig. Everyday of the comp it was something new. That was fun times.
Haircut? I don't even have the time to shave! Maybe I'll just grow out a beard or something again. By the way, I'll do my hair pink again if people help me pay for dye!!

GO CANADIANS!
So what if its a little cold in florida.
One of the engineers on our team is a professional tattoo and piercing artist, how about free tattoos and piercings? Im thinking a gigantic picture of dean kamen?
I'll take a tattoo!! I'll bring a design and everything!!! I may even take a piercing too!!!!
I'll take a piercing...:)
I've pierced my eyebrow before, but I only left that in a day.
(I did it at school and took it out before I got home)
So do I get a tattoo??? I really would rather not wait until September to get mine.
April 6th is National Tattoo day - I plan to get my next done then... I want to get a fairy either on my ankle- my lower back - or my hip......

yea i say all us guys should grow a stash and color them like neon orangs or something really obvious, just too make a splash.
Sence when was there a national tattoo day? no one tole me:mad:
Some of us *even mentors* can't grow stashes. Now, maybe goatees or huge chops, I'll go for that.

ok whatever a little colored peach fuz is coo
No way man, see, it's not fuzz at all. Now, you see someone with prink pink chops, and that's cool. None of this stach stuff. That, or a beard or goatee. I'm not gonna try and look like my dad *he has a stach.* That would look rediculous.

Awww It's ok Angela. You could wear a cool wig... I had a silver one last year that was neat-o. I have yet to figure out what my hair will look like for nats... I know it'll be short and other than that I have no idea. Why can't you use wash out hair dye? There are some that wash out really quickly.
Mmm, fun, a wig, over a head of hair, in really hot weather, covering where your body gets rid of over 50% of it's heat. Sounds like fun to me.
Carolyn Duncan
16-02-2002, 22:31
Geez! You make it sound sooooo much more fun than it was... hehehe No, really it wasn't so bad. The hard part was the people who were messing with it all the time. That got annoying. The best part was when one guy ave me a flashlight, their team was giving them out, and said something about every platinum blonde needing a spotlight... That was a riot! It made the mentors on my team kinda give me dirty looks...

FYI I wont be at nats. Ill be at the Philladelphia Alliance Regional.
Yeah. I'd be willing to get a hawk too. but I'm not going to nationals either. not enough hours. *growls* seems idiotic that 150 hours is "not enough hours" owell. Hope all of you have fun there!

21-02-2002, 15:11
ouch 150 isnt enough that stinx! we only had to make 100, after that i stoped counting
Shoot, our students don't have a certain amount they had to come *which really annoys me* but they do have to pay like $300 for Nats. I know I put way more then 150 hours in this thing.
Carolyn Duncan
22-02-2002, 12:09
The students on Team 86 were required to sign up for 2 shifts, of 4 hours each, per week. They were watched to ensure quality work, meaning that they were helping or doing productive things and not standing around staring at the walls. After we use the club funds to pay bills the rest is divided among students to lessen the cost of their trip to nationals. The trip to regionals is so close that everyone who wants to go can just drive down. From what I've been told not many people plan to go on a day other than Saturday because of school. These kids are afraid to miss school... I don't get that... but yeah that's how our team works.
Matt Ryan
22-02-2002, 12:18
Our team isn't going to nationals this year due to the School Committee limiting student field trips and events within the New England region.
We're very lucky to be able to go to UTC. Unfortunately, nationals will have to wait a year.
AntiCrombieDuck
22-02-2002, 15:03
Are reguirememnts were:
100 shop hrs
20 Fund raiseing hrs
100$ down payment
When where done fundraising, if we dont have enough we have to pay the rest
Dave_222
22-02-2002, 19:41
We had to be at 85% of all functions and pay $400 cash.
We had to be at 80%, wich ended up being 180 hours or so, and $350 to go to nats.
We go buy school bus to VCU on Saturday so that is free.
We only send 10 students on Wensday night to the regional.
AntiCrombieDuck
23-02-2002, 01:14
it stinx the way these things work out
Looks like about $300 for us. We go by charter bus for a 13 hour ride to Nats and 13 passenger vans to VCU. VCU is free.
Katie Reynolds
23-02-2002, 09:20
We didn't have a *set* amount of hours we had to put in. Our advisors just chose who they knew put in enough time to go... so basically, if you worked hard throughout the whole season, then you got to go because the advisors would recognize that you worked hard. We are paying $200 to go, flying to Orlando on Tuesday and leaving on Monday. Yea. For MMR (Motorola Midwest Regional) Everyone on the team gets to go. Cost is $50 - unless you did fundraising at the Lego League competitions held in the area. If you helped raise money at the FLL regional, you got some money off and if you helped with the state FLL tournament (held at our high school! ;)) you would also get some cash off... if you helped at both, your trip to MMR was basically free! :D

Our advisors picked who is going to nats. Its based on either participation or if your parent put in alot of time or money.
Ashlee if your not wearing a kilt, getting a mohawk, or dying your hair then what are you doing? I suggest skydiving into Disney world. Now that would be cool. Or you could do like me and dress up in a giant bagel suit. and scare the little children in disney world.

I dont have a picture of it. It is real silk and it was a birthday present. I know it wasnt horrendously priced but then again it is very plain. Simple black. I also know my parents spent three days trying to find it for me. Hopefully I can find an obi for it over spring break.
AntiCrombieDuck
23-02-2002, 20:43
whats an obi?
A. Snodgrass

its the part you wrap around the kimono to keep it shut. Right now I tend to wear the kimono open. they can be very decorative and very pretty.

its traditional japanese clothing for both genders. so, yes a guy can wear one. Actually I think originally the one I have might have been meant for a guy. Doesnt stop it from fitting well or being comfortable though.:)

Just a comment: most kimonos are not very good with range of motion. Such has contorting yourself to get under the robot to work on part of the mobility system.

trust me Im not but Ive worn kilt like objects before and I found that I didnt have great range of motion. not BAD range of motion but not great
Pants have their problems too. That's why I've concluded my this talk that naked is the only way to get your best range of motion. Therefore, we should all go naked at Nats.
Right.
AntiCrombieDuck
24-02-2002, 18:29
considering that would probbably be illegal, i dont think we could do the whole naked thing. But on the other hand there are soo many of us, what could they do lock down disneyworld? theyed have too call in the army or guard lol.
The old "They can't arrest us all" argument?
Disney has alot of security, and they are increadably anal about their image.

24-02-2002, 18:42

What has disney done bad, Not the whole book, but i want too hear a funny example
Um, ever seen the orignal cover of The Little Mermaid? Maybe watched the wedding scene in The Little Mermaid? Little things like that...something about the male genitalia...
The armored trucks that do the pickup at Disney are 3 inches shorter than the rest of the Wells Fargo fleet so that they can fit in the 'tunnels' that were built above ground and then covered.
Interesting tidbit.
There is an elevator to the tunnels in the Castle.
I wanna go and explore those areas we're cut off from...I want to actually go IN the castle...
Take a coupple of shirts with you. Alsom not wearing your team shirt....
Changing shirts really messes with securitys head...:rolleyes:
For one - Disney's wild Animal Park - they got an Albino Rhinoccerous (spelling ick) for it... 2 days after they got it it died.. these animans are VERY endagered.. and when they did an autopsy.. someone had stuck a sharpened stick up it's recturm...... umm... disney has it's own private police force that has nothing to do with the rest of florida.... and florida police can't interfere with them....

Carolyn Duncan
01-03-2002, 23:40
Don't forget to accessorize! That's an important part of making every outfit a success.
Well, traditional scottish tops include a certain kind of loose scottish shirt, or a certain kind of jacket/coat for pipers.
I'm not familiar with any internet retailers for this kind of thing...
Just to be sure, if you're wearing a kilt, you've got to wear a sporran, long wool socks, and perhaps spats on dress shoes.
AntiCrombieDuck
03-03-2002, 11:21
accessorize with what? a bagpipe lol

the sporran!:)
AntiCrombieDuck
03-03-2002, 12:41
ok what is a sporran?
A. Snodgrass
04-03-2002, 02:07
a sporran is a kind of pouch that goes around the waist and is made normally of fur and...well... if you want pictures search google. also a shoulder plaid would not be a bad accent either. actually both would be a good idea... unless you went with a jacket...and then dont do the shoulder plaid, it would be too much of a hassle.
A. Snodgrass

Shannon pretty much got this -
Cinderella's Royal Table and associated facilities
An elevator to the Utilidors
And, if I remember correctly, an apartment.
There are no missiles, and the castle can't be disassembled in case of a hurricane. It is steel and concrete.
There are many, many, many places where you can go and enter into the Utilidors. So long as you don't *look*like a tourist, you usually won't run into any problems if you go into them. If you are questioned, just say you got lost, or something like that.
Alternatively, you can take a tour in the morning that includes a tour of the tunnel system - legitimately.

I went on that tour, it was pretty interesting.
Alot of walking, but cool to see some the behind-the-scenes inner-workings of Disney.
And, I agree with halo(unknown) .. this thread has way too much going on ... break off to a new thread if you want to continue anything :)
