And matching pocket...thing :)
You two look great, I saw the tie in person but I never got to see the dress :(
Bethany, you know, FL Tech has a homecoming ;) I want to see this dress!
You just made my day. What a great photo.
You could have borrowed my trackball earrings!(Hard to see but I'm wearing them in photo below.)
Wow, great photo. Another one for my FIRST photo gallery on my cubicle wall at work!

Or you could have borrowed my trackball zipper earrings. They're made from actual trackball zipper pulls.

Everyone should note that the dress and tie have trackball dots from three regionals, Rochester, Florida, and Philadelphia. This is the result of months in the planning. Bethany, best of luck at your own prom, enjoy telling everyone about FIRST that asks about your dress.
Thanks again to team 399 for the awesome event. Brian, you put a lot of work into organizing it, and it all payed off. Every person in attendance appeared to be having a wonderful time. The Roboprom king and queen was unexpected, and made for a night to remember.
As King, I have decided to make the following reforms.
1) Baseball is no longer the American Pastime. The new pastime will henceforth be FIRST. This is in effect for the following countries:
Americas
:: Brazil
:: Canada
:: Chile
:: Mexico
:: Peru
:: United States
Europe
:: Austria
:: Benelux
:: Denmark
:: France
:: Germany
:: Hungary
:: Iceland
:: Lithuania
:: Norway
:: Portugal
:: Spain
:: Switzerland
:: Sweden
:: Turkey
:: United Kingdom
Asia Pacific
:: Australia
:: China
:: Hong Kong
:: Israel
:: Japan
:: Jordan
:: Korea
:: Singapore
:: Saudi Arabia
:: Taiwan
Africa
:: South Africa
:: Egypt
And more are to follow soon.
2) Chiefdelphi.com is required to be the home page for every web browser.
3)The entire six week build season is now a world holiday.
The King has spoken.

Does this mean we can spend the whole time building our robot instead of going to school? Oh how happy I would be...

Bah. Our school would say, "It's a holiday - go home!"

Your dress is so cute! You would never really know it was from a trackball. And the fact that the dots are from different trackballs at different regionals is pretty neat.
Barry congrats on king and I think your reforms are perfect! :)

Your dress seriously is awesome =D Matching Robo Prom dates! =)
... I still can't believe I didn't get to see this in person. Especially since my mentor told me that you were two doors down from my room in the hotel! :yikes:

Mr King.
Can you make that a Paid work holiday, please!
Just think of the awesome robots we mentors would be able to help teams build, if we didn't have to work for six weeks. :cool:
A few more photos of the famous dress....

Thank-you for posting photos-I was waiting to see your dress! Beautiful creation & Barry's matching tie is a wonderful finishing touch. It was a pleasure meeting you in the pits in GA.
Now that you two have been King & Queen, how about running for office? Everyone involved in FIRST is anxious for a FRC alumni as President!:cool:

Thank you as well. I'll tell you what. My mentors thought I was crazy when I said that I was going to do it, but I think it turned out a little less round then they thought it was going to be:p

It was a pleasure meeting you, and you are welcome. I was dying to come see you and show you. I wore it in the pits on Saturday.
About running for office...I think that might be more of a Barry possibility then a Bethany one. I am waiting, as well, for that day to come.
On the side note, I had people ask me why I would where my prom dress in the pits in case i would get something on it. I just explained to them, This dress was used by dozens of robots, if I were to do something it would just make it more authentic.:D If you look up close to the dress there is tread marks on it, color from different teams, and just usage marks. It makes it that much better of a dress.
The second I heard of robo prom I look at the trackball and I looked at my intertube skirt with the green fringe, and said....prom dress...I have to make it happen! I love FIRST and everyone involved!
