View Full Version : FIRST-SME
Anyone recived their FIRST-SME cards yet?
Anyone know when we are supposted to get them?
I never got mine last year, not even late did it come. :(
Good question. I registered long enough ago to even get to vote on what the card looks like. Stoopid voting. Ugly card.

What does it look like?
It's the attachment....
Really, it's kinda cool, just not as cool as some of the ones you could have voted on.
Oh, and here's why we haven't gotten them yet:
"2002 FIRST-SME Partnership card; it will be mailed to all participants starting in February. If you register after February 1st, your card should be mailed to you approximately three weeks after you complete your registration."
Silly me....
Oh, if you haven't registered, do:

So uh, which card did you vote for?
I don't remember, they don't show up for me any more...
I just know that they didn't choose the one I voted for...
Oh well:rolleyes:

I have such a bad memory, but I think it was either of the ones you two said, or this one:

I voted for number 5, the winning design. I liked it and I knew it would win so I voted for it. :D :p
Febuary 16th, no cards yet to any memberes of my team.

No cards to our team either.... :::cries::: - what is it with things being shipped late? First there was our Shipped to Teams stuff, then our SME Cards and I ordered things from Newark, Anderson Power Products AND Innovation First last Wednesday... for standard overnight shipping... AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T COME!!!! :::cries again::: :rolleyes:

Well the catch is - they aren't late yet. SME posted on their site that they wouldn't even be starting the mailing until February 1st, and there's no end date - so unless you get to Nationals without one, then it's really not late. :)
That said... SME has always been a tad..... slow..... at mailing those things out. I'm not sure if it's the printer, or how they are collecting data - or if they are simply trying to save labor costs by hopefully getting all the registrations out of the way before mailing (I used to work in the mailroom of State Street Bank, so I know more of my fair share in that one... *shudders*)
I'm disappointed in the design... I thought some of the others were much nicer, and much less cluttered looking so that you could (god forbid) actually READ someone's name on it... but then, that's just my opinion... :rolleyes: But eh... I signed up on the first day you could anyway :)

I have received mine on saturday. I live in Allen Park, which is in short driving distance to the SME place. :) Woo-hoo, i got mine!!

Hey Matt...love the avatar ;)
I think mine is going to be hopelessly lost in the mail since it's getting mailed from SME to my old address in Massachusetts... and then trusting in my local Post Office to forward it down to Knoxville..... :rolleyes:

ok why was that design chosen, it was the stupidest one, along with that really simple one. I must have voted/signed up in November or December, i thought id get my card early or on time, but i guess not huh.
By the way i picked "THE BEST 1" ~voice of GOD

I live in northern Florida and I got my card today so they are out there! They look different than they did online but it is a good different. I think everyone will like them.

Well I could but it would look the same as it did on the sme site. I was refering to when you see it in actuality it looks better.

Ah yes anoother FIRST collectors item, I just got mine yesterday (2-20-02) and I'm sticking with my opinion that the design we chose this year sucks!
I don't like it that the name is so small...
I also don't like that the card's orientation is at a 90 degree angle as the text when you wear it like they want you to. I'll just get out my Duct Tape and make a custom holder for it!
Simple 'Nuff.

A reason to use the mill!!!
I want to but a hole in the excat center so that it wont lean to one side or the other when I wear it so that the text is horizontal rather than vertical.
Unlock the machine shop!

Although I do admit that the card looks better in person, it is still ugly, but I like the test area design I chose. I got mine today (2-21-02) and like it. Too small of print.
Well, it seems that all of my team members, EXCEPT FOR ME!, got their's by today. Maybe it's my last name (starts with a "W") or just the fact that i always seem to get everything late. Oh well, as long as it comes within 3 weeks, so i can wear it to the regional, cause i'm going to assume you'll need it there.

I like your thinking, but i am going to have to go with the drill press idea. It will keep the card looking better, unless you tape over the whole card and just create your own design...

When I finish my custom holder I'll post a picture of it and then you'll decide if you like it or not... maybe I'll make a bunch of them to hand out at the comps!!!

YAY FOR IAN!!!
DODOOTDO DOOT DOOT DOOT DOO DOO.....
SOUND TH MUISIC!!
so what do you think Ian? is it really that nice? Can you rest easy now?
:D :D :D :D :D :D
gah! how do you get the card on the necklace thingy!?! they placed the hole on the card just too far away from the edge!
heh, i'm probably the only one who's having trouble with that. oh well, what can you expect? i'm a programmer! :D
DaBruteForceGuy
23-02-2002, 13:36
ha ha loser programmer!
US TECH. PEOPLE GOT IT RIGHT AWAY!:D
no offense to programmers..... only to Ian!
bah, what a stupid design! i was trying to get it on without scratching the card, but in the end i just gave in to the urge to smash something, so i pushed it on, and now my card is slightly scratched. :D oh well, i didn't like this design anways. infact, if you ask me, it sucks, because it's rather hard to read black text on a black/gray background. :) next year, we should have a good design.

I also got mine today. I agree with Ian that it was hard to get the neckleace thing. I can live with this card, but I wish a different design had won.
Screw their hole, I'm making my own so my name is horizontal.
It will give me a reason you use the shop.:)
Wow, looks like Wetzel is really going through withdrawel. :D

Indeed. Several hours of Delphi a day just isn't enough. :(
I sharpend the blades on my lawn mower just so I could convince my mom to let me make loud noises with the bench grinder.
That and the double bladed mulcher was an interesting challenge...:)
AntiCrombieDuck
23-02-2002, 20:30
ahh no card!
and programmers are just like the rest of us, only different
wetzel needs to get out more. a lot more. :D
I do go out. Just the other day I went bowling.
Granted, it was at 10 after 4-5 hours of robotics, and with robotics people, but I think that counts as out...:)
And I see Heather some, but not as much as I would like....!%@# schoolwork!
Have I really not seen you since we went bowling??? Er.. more of ... seen you outside of robotics... or do I not count as "out"? Haha.. and I forgot to order my card... *orders it* well.. it wont get here by regionals.. but at least I'll get it...
