View Full Version : Robotics Hand Signals
I was thinking all the FIRST robotics teams should have a hand signal. That could be use anytime, regionals, and nationals. Like if you see someone wearing a robotics shirt you would give them a hand signals to show you on a robotics team. And then the two people would be to talk and then you have meet someone you have in common with you.
What do you guys think?

Intresting Idea, maybe American Sign Language? Lots of people use that already. Also maybe a set of hand signals that could be developed for coaches to use to signify on the field what they want the other teams to do since it gets so loud at times. But nice idea its a pretty cool thought.

Couldn't you just approach them and say hi or something (or wave)? If you were at the regionals/nationals wouldn't you already know they are on a FIRST team?

Eh... yeah... but then that wouldn't be as "special" as your own hand signal. And yeah... you are usually a team member if you are at regionals/nationals. So my question is... how would you make a hand signal for each team without inevitably replicating them? But I don't know...

I don't like the idea. Too much like gangs.

I agree with you on that one. If you notice someone belongs to a FIRST team or is involved with FIRST in some way just walk up to them and introduce yourself, if you really want to have a conversation with them.
Well a wave is very just not FUN!
:)
Robotics teams are kinda like a gang but without the guns and junk.
It would not just have to be limited to the hands.
Because sports guy hit each other on the butt. Not SAY we should do that not at all :eek: No No No. And rockers have a hand signals.

You can always use your hands to show your team number in binary... \nnn/ \||n/
(That's 573)

But what about those of us with bigger numbers? 1293 in binary is 10100001101, and I don't have eleven fingers! :ahh:

If you want to use American Sign Language, a good site is run by Michigan State at http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm
They give a description and a little video for each word. For Robot the signer mimes the stiff walk associated with robots.
http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/R/W3402.htm
A more promising sign that can be used across the room and hopefully not misinterpreted is FIRST. For that the index finger is twisted to show that something was first.

i think we should all tattoo our team numbers to our heads :D
........ok well in all honesty, i would say i am pretty dedicated to my team but not that dedicated. i might paint it on my head for a few days but not more that that :p
I dunno about the rest of you guys, but I have enough Team 84 shirts to last me a week or two. How about just wear your team shirt all the time? Might get a little stinky for the freshman, but alumni and adults will have it easy!

Yeah. As of this year I have three different versions of Team 74 shirts. My freshman year shirts (3) I've altered, I only altered one of my Sophomore shirts (out of two), and I'm not even going to bother touching this years shirts (2). Yeah. I have enough of my teams shirts to last me a while.

U find the sign for first at the bottom of the signs

ooh!
i see a square, triangle and circle! :yikes:
just they're not in the right order.
(your left fist can be a square sorta, your left thumb and right index finger make the top of a triangle, and your right hand minus the index finger is a circle!!!)

:ahh: I didn't even think about that GOOD eye very creativity.
