Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

Well, this is summer, my family went to a water park near us, and the ticket-taker was from team 1625! He immediatly recognized my brother and I from the milwakee regional, and we had a short little chat. A little reminder that January can't come fast enough!

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

i knew this guy via email and a forum, i'd had multiple conversations with him, i'd beta tested a firefox extension with him...then one day i mentioned FIRST, and turns out he'd been involved during highschool.

It's not IRl...but it was close enough

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

true ....our mentor used to be the mentor of team 212

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

The other team is 1029 - Wolvcats.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

I was working at a boycout camp over the summer and i discovered that one of the fellow staff members was from 1089. I was quite surprised! I had also met a kid from 303 while attending another camp in pennsylvania.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

actually for me .. i awalys see people from my youth group in FIRST... at the VCU regional I saw like 3 people and was like OH my g-d!

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

Ahhhh this was funny, once I came back from the LI regional and was playing Tribes a first person shooter for those who dont know the game, turns out i mentioned the competition and the driver from the team we were up against in the semi finals, also played and we talked about the game. it was weird cause I had known him for 2-3 years..

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

I was at Cedar Point and I saw someone with a first logo on their shirt, I think they were from team 1501... maybe:confused:

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

Maybe this isnt too odd of a place. but the fact that it was someone from another team, is pretty random.

We had a LAN party at our school thats open to the public, and i saw this kid with a FIRST shirt on and it happened to be the little brother of a guy on team Duct Tape.

oh and my Godfather's nephew was sitting next to me, and after about 2 hours of talking about none sense, i found out that he was on a robotics team too

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

Something similar happened to me actually. I played a game called RuneScape and I was in a clan and I said "Hey guys, long time no see, robotics has been keeping me busy," and so one of the guys on there says, "You in FIRST robotics?" and I said, "Yeah, team 118," and he was like "Dude that is awesome." Apparently him and his two friends who had been my three online buddies that I had known for 2 years were all in robotics and met up at championships last year which was kind of awkward but cool at the same time.

Pavan.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

our team (65) was doing a fundraising event at one of our local battle of the band competition that is help annually while there working the concession stands i met 3 FIRST Judges

also at kick off this year i remit one of my old friends i had no idea that he was interested in robotics he's not of team Hot (67) he moved freshman year and i haven't seen/spoken to him since

another experience i had was meeting 2 of my team mates through a science fair competition - we had no idea that 4 years later we would be on the same robotics team

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

At my old job i bagged groceries for the Coach of team 27 a few times...never really got a chance to talk tho...but i recognized her in the team shirt

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

im trying to get the NYR web cast at my gift shop here in Orlando, and all of a sudden, two mentors rom Heatwave(312) al in and buy postcards, we talk FIRST for a while, looks like they were here for some Motocross race.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
 

I happened to see a local FIRST team with their robot at the Plantation Relay for Life this weekend. Unfortunately, when I went over to ask about their robot and team, the whole team boo'd me as soon as they found out that I was from 108. Quite a shocker...:eek: :(
