...desperate prayers for God to have mercy on our wretched little school.

What?

well, whatever powers us seems to be working this year.

deathcon 2
 

What powers our team is Mountain, chips, and Krispy Kremes. Every morning our engineers would bring in Krispy Kremes before each competition. Bob calls Krispy Kremes...Deathcon 2. Whatever that means but its still funny. We drank lots of Mountain Dew. And Frito Lay gave us tons of free chips for promotional items. Our pit was flooded with people trying to score some chips. We of course made sure we had some for ourselves as well.:D

I would say the power source(batteries) power our robot. I think what you need to ask is what powers your team spirit. And for my team we are powered up w/ Krispy Kremes, Starbucks Frappachinos(and many other different kinds of coffee from there) and McDonalds!!!!!!!!! I wonder if any of those places would want to sponser my team?

Mountain Dew is exactly the same here, as it is in the US. Sadly tho that doesn't help the bad taste.

Pepsi all the way.

well this all depends on who you talk to...because for most of them at the point you need this stuff...caffine is caffine and it doesnt matter...but ima coke guy and/or cofee myself....but i enjoy the occasional redbull energy drink when i need a quick JOLT :D

Mountain Dew!
 

Nothing's better than Mountain Dew for real FIRST-a-holics!

Oreos + Coke + Mountain Dew + Pizza + Whatever we got from the vending machine = A somewhat finished robot

Dew, pizza, and Wendy's-I love Wendy's. Plus, it's the closest place to Depuy.

our robot is our team midget spray painted silver, powered by a combination of Nuclear energy and sugar combined with complete lack of ritilan, and you have the deadliest force known to mankind.

Sometimes you feel like a nut, & sometimes you don't........
 

Every year there is a group of deicated engineers, teachers, and the ever so change of the student population in my team. I don't think that anyone on the team can live with this program. For six weeks we see more of eachother and the shop, then our jobs, family, friends outside the team, and don't even try to have a special someone. Even before the season starts we are in the shop cleaning and organizing and making sure we are proud of what we do. FIRST in my school has changed peoples lives, whether it has given them the oppertunities they wouldn't have has in a city school system, made it alittle easier to get extra money for college, or widened friendships throughout the country. Dean said it well at the awards the other night when he said, your FIRST friendships have alittle more then your regular friendships at school or at home. You not only grow as a person, but you gain more knowledge and wisdom as well. Everyone should be very thankful to what thier team has accomplished in six weeks and what thier team will continue to do. For the seniors leaving the high school program, give back what you recieved and you will have gained even more!

Thanks for a life full of memories.....

Michelle

Pepsi???!!! :eek:

Pepsi!!!???:eek:

How dare you...defile the sanctity of the Dew, a beverage so pure ambrosia and honey is purtrid beside it! Mountain Dew is the nectar of the gods! :rolleyes:


Michelle, I feel the same way. FIRST gives a lot to its participants, and much of it cannot be measured with dollars or hours, profit margins or taxes. What FIRST gives many people each year is a most precious gift, that allows people to change their lives for the better.

Well said, Michelle, very well said.

I'm a PURE guy.. i don't need any of that artifical crap... i'm just naturally energetic and spunky... an occasional JOLT.. in cola flavor is good @ like 1 or 2am... but thats it... ----for those who don't know.. Jolt is that soda with 2x the caffine.. and it was killing people with the original receipe.. something about making their heart explode or just go really fast? *shrug* but its all good now.. and keeps you awake... ----- I need to learn to drink coffee for college...

Why are we talking about PoP?
 

Guys.....FIRST isn't about the pop you drink at 3 in the morning while putting together the Chairman's Award or while testing out the fly wheel on your robot. (Flying balls that late can be scary) I believe FIRST is about what the adults and students and parents and family put it together as, not a can of alminum. During the six week build time there is alot that flies out the window, but you should take time and refelect on positive things and people out there taking caffine pills to stay up.....not a good idea. I cann't drink Caffine and I know I outlasted most people in the shop and the editing room, while working as well.....typical day

school by 7 to work on robot
first class at nine

So, I know how crazy things can get, but that still doesn't excuse you from taking those kinds of things. Didn't anyone see the save by the bell show where jessie got hooked on them and couldn't get off?!?

Our team's all about the generic brands:
Dr. Thunder and Mountain Lightning all the way, baby.

DONUTS!!!!

:D
