Re: Any good FIRST jokes?
 

While I was inspecting robots, at CMP, two girl students and their mentor approached me. Mentor was standing behind the girls.
Girt: "Can I ask you a question?"
Me: "You just did."
Girl: "Can I ask you another question?"
Me: "You just did."
I thought the mentor was going to have a heart atack from laughing so hard.

Another thing I like to do during inspections.
I'll ask the students if thay have an pneumatics on the robot. If they say no, I'll ask them if they have any old matics. Some get it, some don't.

Recycle Rush.

Best joke ever.

One I pulled on some folks on one of the teams this year:

"You know, your numbers aren't going to pass inspection. They're vertical."

The team in question happens to be one of the three remaining active single-digit teams, and at least one team member just started laughing.


I also, when checking for hazardous materials, would ask for stuff that is hazardous... but no high school would be expected to have around. Including a Mr. Fusion at one point.


As an inspector, the "best" (or not!) kind of inspection problem to find is if you're inspecting the team of any other inspector at the event. This goes double for any LRIs in the bunch.

The best joke was how the GDC was saying how the games will be like sports....then Recycle Rush.

Last year at the St. Louis regional I told several teams that past game pieces could not be used on their robots. Some team used frisbees to hold the ball.
You should have seen their jaws drop.

Re: Any good FIRST jokes?
 

Not FIRST specific but did happen at a regional last year. 1468 put THIS in their robot prior to inspection.

A few weeks ago I stood among team members as they were about to embark on a road trip to Utah for the regional. Everything they had done, everything they had work so hard for all for this moment. I couldn't help but be inspired. So I composed myself and gathered a few words and captured the attention of all who were present, just to share a little story in the hopes that I would inspire them to do their best. As they all looked to me in anticipation I cleared my voice and said...
"Here, is the story."
With all eyes on me questioning where I was going with this I continued.
"All about how, my life got flipped-turned upside down."
A smile here a grin there, some people knew where I was going with this monumental speech.
"I'd like to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air"

This is hilarious because it is TRUTH!

Re: Any good FIRST jokes?
 

New student on the team......asked him to go looking for a Johnson Rod.....he went around asking our mentor team where he could get one.

The best story from this year is how we scared Dean Kamen away from out pits in NYC. We were next to the bathroom, and Dean went into the bathroom... when he came out, a member of our team said "DEAN, LOOK AT MY, UHH, THINGY!:yikes: " Vlad made a simulation of this years game, but with the excitement, he couldn't get it out... Also doesn't help that I gave Mr. Kamen a roll of Denim Duck tape. He just said "You guys are nuts!" and left the convention center... it was hilarious.c

Re: Any good FIRST jokes?
 

What does Dean Kamen say when he wants to take a picture?

FIRST, let me take a selfie.

"what does your robot do, pete?
it collects data about the surrounding environment, then discards it and drives into walls"

Re: Any good FIRST jokes?
 

Pretty sure that in 2015, the odds were STACKED against us.
