View Full Version : Do you celebrate your team number day?
On Monday night we are having our first ever 341st Day of the year Team Night. We thought it was a great opportunity to get the team together for a random celebration of our team, have some pre-building season pizza and go through some team building exercises.
I was wondering if any other teams do anything to celebrate their special Team Number Day?
Do any Teams have numbers that fall on special days, like shipping day or the Championship?
Just curious.

Never even thought to do such a thing (July 10th. That would make a nice off season activity).
A rather novel idea, though.

I think it is kinda hard to celebrate 836th day of anything. It works for some teams i guess.

We couldn't celebrate the 1110th day, but we could celebrate 11/10. Too bad that's already past, good idea.

Never thought of that, but it sounds like a nifty idea. Ours falls on Kickoff-eve. =D So we could probably do something then. That'd be cool! Good idea.
Meh, then again, we wanna get out of school as soon as possible, so yeah, big problem. Annnnd sleep issues. Wanna get bunches of sleep before kickoff. That'd be nice. Because after Kickoff....ZOMBIE MODE, HERE WE COME!

Well hon, could always do the 836th hour of the season 'cause that'd be your hour...if that's possible. :yikes:
We celebrated 10/02 with a carwash :D

Over here in Melvindale - The city has dedicated a day to us...
and around the 5th for us would be close to kick-off! :D

kind of hard to celebrate 571 cause not that many day in a year and it can't be broken like 5/71 or 57/1 but it is still a great idea
maybe we can do it once every two years?

A really good idea. You're team deffinately has some public relations skills. But as for 1418, its a lost cause because...well...I'm pretty sure you can figure it out.

That works really well for MOE 365, they get to have a robotics team new year's eve party!
Except on leap years.
Team 125 can celebrate on April 5th.

I'm always reminded of my team whenever my clock says 11:39
Hey you could always do hours, as one person suggested.
571/24 = 24 days
1139/24 = 47 days
ETC.
Over here in Melvindale - The city has dedicated a day to us
:ahh:
how'd you manage to get that?

In our first or second year we got our mayor to come to a competition - and he was just jaw-dropped at what we where able to do. So he said if this program can get students to this - it should be a national holiday. But due to him only being the mayor for Melvindale - he gave us a city day. :)

Darn! We already missed the only way I can think of to celebrate our day. 1/5/04... :confused:

Any day during January of this year (01-05) at 4 AM? I'm sure you being a college student you can think of something...

Wouldn't my teams day be Feb. 14th? or would it be April 5?

I would say Feb 14th, as that is the orginal way the thread was started, and RAGE's day would be June 23, right around my graduation, and then end of school.

yea we celebrate 14/81 or uhhhh 1/48 (1:00) um...... 1/4 (8:10) aha. there yes i think we just might as well... since we wont be building a robot this year. :mad:
We never celebrate... but a party on 2/29 would be fun...
Too bad there would only be one every 4 years. (We can celebrate a full recycle of college mentors... assuming everyone graduated.) ;)

See, we're stuck for this. 1,293 days is right near four years. And there's no December 93rd.
Then of course we could lay claim to the entire month of December, 2093 (12/93), but that's a bit of a wait. Only 89 years, y'know.

One person on our team, last year, realized that March 30 (3/30) was Beach 'Bot day. This year, we'll have to make a bigger deal about it.

05-12-2004, 19:17
well 1351 is 3 years and 256 days. and 256 is Nov 13th. so every 3 years do we celebrate nov 13th? and maybe at 13:51 (1:51 PM).
or....
13/5 @1
making it january 5th every other year at 1. in the morning?
or....
1/351 which is dec. 17th...
or.....
1/35 @1. which is feb. 4th @ 1 in the morn. hey we might be working on our bot then this year. haha
......
anything i missed?
:D
Teams larger than 365, can celebrate their hour, instead. Just divide by 24 and round off, then we will be good all the way up until Team 8760, plus a few more with rounding.
That way Team 8184 can celebrate hour 8184 with us on the 341st day of the year! :D

We haven't done an official 237'th day, but everytime 2:37am or pm comes around, or anytime I see the number 237, I let out a Homer Simpson like Whoo-Hoo!
we had a carwash on 10/02. . . So in celebration we made money... We also Im each other at 10:02 pm on AIM.... just about everyday otherday. second peroid at school also starts at 10:02am....
I have recognized 8/14 for the past 2 years. I never really thought of celebrating it, though. That's a good idea. We wouldn't be able to do any team-building exercises because we would only be a week or less into the school year, so we wouldn't have new members yet...But we could have some fundraiser or something.
I just wanted to report back and tell everyone what a great experience it was to have a team building night before build season starts.
We tried hard to break down barriers. We placed Leaders with rookies, programmers with artists, etc. We started with a good dose of building season Pizza and then went right into the activities.
Luckily, we have a gym teacher that is an expert in team building activities, but the activities can be easily found on many web sites.
I highly recommend doing this with your team!!
I have posted two pictures in the gallery under Misc.
Best of luck to all teams this season!!

Hmmm. Hour 1168 of the year would fall on 4 PM on the 48th day of the year, which is 17 February - right in the middle of build season (a Thursday in 2005).

Ours would be April 25th. Just after nationals this coming year, I hope we have something to celebrate!!! As the dates move, nationals will eventually fall on the 25th, so we could celebrate there!

Now that you have opened the door.....
I celebrate 47 many times dailey as it is a very special number.
to name a few....
my car plate is CD47
in 1904 people averaged to live 47 years
many, many inventions occured in 1947
the number 47 appears in every episode of Star Trek the next Generation
we won the chairmans award when I was 47
and this is only a few examples......
I have a 1/2 hour presentation dedicated to the number 47.
If you want to know how special the number is just search 47 in yahoo. What you will find will amaze you beyond belief.

The prophecies for 2005 are beginning people...
the 121st day of 2005 is the Friday or Saturday of nationals (forgot which)... but this also shall show a true prophecy that will come true as of April 2005 in Atlanta, GA @ the First Championships m/

Actually, the 121st day is April 30th, the saturday after nationals.

We need a standard, and the easiest way to do this is to have everyone celebrate the day that is their team number, modulo 365! So 1418 would celebrate the 323rd day of the year...
Well, I'm wondering if the 2002 kickoff was on Saturday, January 5th. If that were to be true, counting leap year team 812 celebrated its 812th day after its first kickoff with the Engineering Inspiration award at LA on Saturday, March 27th, 2004. Not counting leap year, our mentor won the Woodie Flowers Award. the day before. We were really celebrating because of our team number and we didn't know it... maybe its some kind of lucky charm, I'm going to have to keep track of that now 812 days from March 27th, 2004.

I forgot to mention that the 47th day of the year, Feb 16th, our school system, to celebrate, gives ALL the students in the district the day off. NO SCHOOL this day.
Yes, I know it is a planned teacher inservice day:)
The 111th day of the year falls on April 21 (unless it is a leap year). That coincides with the first day of the Championship this year. No need for a special celebration.

how would one do 1147
hmmm... we cant really celebrate the 368th day of the year because there is only 365 days... that is quite interesting. i dont suppose that we could celebrate 36/8 or anything like that. but i guess its just our luck. interesting idea! :cool:

We can't celebrate team number day, but we can celebrate team time! Twice per day! (one of them isn't much of a celebration :D)

2:30 in the morning?
Hadn't thought of turning the team number into a date before...
759:
7th May 2009?
7th May at 9pm? Good time to go out for a pizza as a team perhaps. :)

not really. if we did, then that would have been kickoff for this season. but umm.... every time i see something that has 108, then it hink of my team. and, i believe that some of my team does the same thing.
1596..... well, maybe we could celebrate on Jan 5, at 9:06 :yikes:

Yeah I know that - it wasn't meant to say everyone does, it was meant to say a lot of people do - much more than the 35 or so members of our team. It was worded wrong. Let it be.

Just another case of rampant Numberism. You low-numbered teams think you are SO special, just because your ancestors came to robotics when Robbie was the cool thing. Or something. We high-digit teams will overcome, yes we will. Some day.
