Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Ok, big big props to Brandon for the valentines day spotlight feature.

Our team has a whole list of Innuendoes that we are planning to make into a t-shirt. Lets just say that they arn't appropriate to put on CD. ;)

Happy Valentines Day!

- awsome.

<go tell the one you love that they are very special to you!>

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Thanks to Erin Rapacki for supplying us with all the quotes.

I'll put the full list of them up on Sunday. Until then, keep an eye up there..

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

The real thanks goes out to my team (there are pictures to go along with these, oh boy), and Emily Pease (a wicked cool NU-TRONS mentor) for collecting everyone's ideas.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I really liked them when I saw them last night at 2 am, but I wasn't sure if it was because they good, or I was delerious from lack of sleep.

I'm still delerious from lack of sleep, but I still like them :)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I still think it was because you were delerious :D

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

That's my favorite out of all of them so far!

So cool, so us. :D

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Anywhere we can view the full list?

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Enough said

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Just keep clicking portal and they wil switch if you go long enough you will see them all...It's not a huge list maybe 15.

I like them. Good Job.

Well, then... we should make some more.

How about:

Our gears mesh perfectly
I love you so much, I'll knock off your 10 point ball
Wanna hang together?
You trip my breaker
My motors are hot for you
We go together like a Drill motor, reduced by 3.6:1, and a CIM motor

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I may be delerious, but not delerious enough to think that is funny :p

The rest are good.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Love them all. Printing them in large format with graphics to post around the shop this weekend. Not only Valentine's Day, it's Captain Marygrace's b day too.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

[quote=Andy Baker]i thought that was the best one. :) :D

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I have some to add:

-My love is autonomous when you enter the room.
-You don't need a multipler for your beauty.
-Us breaking up would inhale audably.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

We're all such geeks...not that's that a bad thing. :)

Two I've seen that we've missed:
Congratulations. You've given 818 something to do - we're all laughing at them while we're killing off time before our meeting. :)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Can you feel the love? You guys probably all know by now how I personally feel about Valentine's Day (yay, commercial hollidays!), but still, I kinda like this idea. Of course, I'm starting to figure out why half of us are losers when it comes to the opposite sex...

"Power drills are a girl's best friend."

Andy,
Get some sleep man. I'm starting to wonder if the two extra days are a blessing or a curse :)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

How many of those did you test drive on your wife?

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Am I the only one who thinks it's just getting silly at this point? :)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

With the limited number of sayings, I believe it is getting a little old too fast. Too bad I'm not romantically geeky, otherwise I might come up with a a few on my own.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

LOL I think that the valentine's quotes are soo cute!!

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I suppose I'll add my own.

You & I & 1, baby, even the least significant bit of our love is true.

And, in honor of my math teacher ...

Baby, you and I are the same. You must be an elementary matrix -- you can't be more than a single row operation from my identity!

Yes, yes, I apology for subjecting the reader to this.

Glad to see this feature back again. :)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I've got a suggestion...

Just the sight of you makes my vision system go haywire.

Hey, we have to keep things fresh, right?

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I just finished reading all this and realized it was last year, when I saw brandon's list go up on sunday the 14th.... wait that says 2004. DUH. Its neat though.

-Mike

Make someone in your heart feel special.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Okay question:

Does this mean that we are going to have a spotlight for every comercial holiday? And if that's the case ... when is the next one? :ahh:

Just kidding .... I think that they are pretty cool just by reading them.

Now if a guy came up to me with one of these lines ... I'd start cracking up laughing ... like I do much of everything else. :D

Maybe we should put one of those advisory signs:

"Don't try this at home ... or at Robotics competitions" :p

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Most of these came from team 125 via Erin Rapacki.
Many were pulled from this thread, or from others through IM.
Feel free to PM/IM me with more to add (I'll see an PM/IM before I see it in this thread).

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

You might think it was funny if you were married. :)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Well, the Vday spotlights are back again this year! Thanks again to NU-TRONS for providing the vday sayings (a college mentor on 173 gets a little credit too). Enjoy!

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

You've got great high-level structure, but I really dig your baud.

Hmmm... CD needs an anonymous poster function :-)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

those quotes are great. my team and i were literally refreshing the page just to view all of them :o ...

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Just because if this isn't on the portal I'm sure someone's going to start it back up... Valentine's Day Spotlights!

Did we ever get a list of all of them, cuz I think it would be amusing to have that at robotics tonight...

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Perhaps we're due for some "keeper" lines this year? ;)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I'll take any suggestions ... PM them to me.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I love this....even if it is an old thread.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

You're my keeper - our love will never spoil.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Here's some:
The feeling of true love is a keeper.
For Valentine's Day, I will spoiler with a spring bouquet.
Love is in the air compressor.
You lift my spirits.
Ringer finger with a diamond.
My love spiders out in a web of emotions when I think of you.
---
it's getting pretty bad...

oh oh I thought of one for the animators -
I am never more animated than when I am with you.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

We are missing the obvious "I lessthanthree you"

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

These are great!
They made my day!

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

That's my favorite!:p

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

The heart should link to the list

It always feels good to see yours up there :)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

You would probably like FVC 116's buttons then ;)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

That's where I got the idea for that one

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Mine is

All my heart are belong to you.

Jacob

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I'd flip my normals for you.
You lift my spirits to bonuspoints and beyond.
When I see you my bolts tighten up.
Together we can score larger rows than we can apart.
I'd take a spoiler for you any day.
My camera can always tell when you're near.
My encoders let me drive straight to you.
I'd steal doughnuts from Dave Lavery for you. :p

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I'll raise you an extra 12 inches any day baby!

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

It's past Valenetine's Day now... but I was talking to my friend and between the two of us we came up with this.

"You know, some people say that it is love that makes the world go round. Of course, us physics students know that it is really centripetal force and newton's three laws of motion that are behind it."

It's probably too long for a spotlight.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

since they are back again, I figure we could come up with some new ones. Also someone else is probably looking for this thread so it is better on the portal.


*you make my heart inflate to the size of a trackball :D

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

that wasn't just funny that was a perfect robotics valentines day quote

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

You drive me crazy, Valentine.
There's no getting over you.
I lose track of time when I'm with you.
You run circles around me, Valentine.
It doesn't take a robocoach to show me the signs of love.


more:
Track balls are red
Or they are blue -
I get deflated
When I'm without you.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Jane, that made my week. haha!
that one and
are my favourites.


I think that spotlight quotes are my absolute favorite things on valentine's day. Even over chocolates and flowers ;)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Do you choose your robot or your Valentine to spend the evening with? It's a quandary! 'Tis a vexing question, for sure.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

For a lot of people on my team, we had to choose the robot... but I made sure to send my valentine flowers at work. Since it isn't valentine's day yet she hasn't received them... so ssshhhh! Don't tell her! :)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

You always press my buttons to keep me on track!

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

It's EASY to C how much I love you.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

You put my heart into Overdrive.
It's against my rules to be greater than 80" away from you.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Huh, so CD posts FIRST valentine quotes huh. Well, that's just great to see even the nerdy ones can have a *cough cough* very romantic valentines day.

Nothing in the KOP can prepare me for you.
You 're my FIRST person on my mind.
I'd hurdle the course myself to get to you.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Im probably not going to be able to readily monitor this thread so if someone wants to compile a list of the good ones and PM them to me, I'll try to get them up there later ..

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I got your back, Brandon. I'm just gathering the ones suggested this year, right?


Honey, will you tether your soul to mine?

Domo arigato Mrs. Roboto

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Let's kick this one up a notch.

It's EASY to C why I PROfess my love to you!


And some for '08.

How much do I love thee? Let my lap counter count the ways... 1-1000, 2-1000, 3-1000, 4-1000, etc.. etc...

Not even mandatory bumpers could keep us apart a whole match.

I would break the 80" rule to pull you into my arms.

I.R. in love with you!

If you left me, my heart would swiss-cheese itself.

If I were to rearrange the CAD drawing, I would put U & I together as a linear pattern.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

fyi - I hilighted this thread on FIRSTruth this week.

Do you believe in love at FIRST sites? Or should I Overpass by again?
When you're around, my heart does laps.
We should hybreed together.
You infrared my mind.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Honey, if lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna turn right.

When it comes to crossing the finish line, you're always FIRST in my heart!

hahaha.
Sorry if those are lame, but I thought I'd add some as well.
=]
Happy Valentine's Day!

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

You may possess me without penalty.

Give me a little bump and I'll let you around. <I had to go through several inappropriate versions of that one to come up with a clean one>

You can provide external stimulation to my sensors in any mode

You can score in my home stretch

We can get entangled without being disabled

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

You drive me in circles
Am I sending you the right signals?
Do you like it Hybrid, or should we just do this manualy?

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I noticed that Brandon has set the Valentine's spotlights.

Time to add some new ones.

Here's 3 to get things moving:

You send me into orbit.

Hey Slick, I’d slide on thin ice for you.

I’m over the moon for you.


:)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

It's automatic .. I forget about it every year. :)

but if you have any '09-relevant ones, send me a PM and I'll add them.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Nothing like a bunch of lunatics sending Valentines.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I got one:

You can be my trailer.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

"Let's find ourselves a trailer and get hitched!"

"My love for you never slides around."

"I may have 1/6th my gravity, but love still holds 100%

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

The Valentine's Day spotlights have appeared. If we come up with some good ones for the '10 season - maybe Brandon will add them to the spotlight list. You can post them in this thread and send him a pm with your quote.

Let's see...

Breakaway from the madness and go through the tunnel of love with me.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I'd drive over any bump to get to you.

In the end, you're the one I want hanging next to me.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

You're welcome inside my frame perimeter...

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Quit stealing my genius ideas.

Take my hand and we'll winch each other into the sky.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Seeing you is like a kick to the heart.
I'd hang for you.
I want to hold you for more than 11 seconds.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I can't keep you long, you're the only one in my queue. <3

I could do this forever... aaaaa

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Stealing it, I am not...I tweeted it at the end of week 1 (or some time around there).

All of mine have to do with either bumper zones and frame perimeters, all involving entering and remaining within said areas. I'm not feeling incredibly creative right now.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I don't have any robotics Valentine's jokes, but here's some math ones, just for fun:

∀I(I∈me)→∀u(u∈U)→(I <3 u)

Or:

-2i +14u > 8u -- Solve for i

We wrote these on the board in my math class the other day. Our teacher thought we were crazy. :D

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

You trigger my autonomous mode.

The 2-second rule does not apply to our love.

You confuse my vision system.

Ok, I'm done. :p

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

We could really use some Super Nerd valentines. Calling all nerds ...
--
Let's see, how about:

To you - I pledge my calculators, my codes, and my safety glasses. I'll be your Super Nerd forever!

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

How about:

Pinning my heart = no penalty
I want to Breakaway with you
It doesn't take an Einstein to see I love you

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Honey, will you be my wench?

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Cupid? I thought you said "cube it".
Now my love for you is three dimensional.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Since your cheese-hole diet, you ain't that heavy anymore- I will no longer sustain damage if I try to hold you for at least 20 seconds. Please be my Valentine!

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Err, I think that "wrench" or "winch" would be more fitting ;)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Hopefully I will stop laughing before the day is out.

I can't decide which one is worse - this one or Fultz's.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Aren't the bumpers supposed to go all the way around?

If a frame perimeter is OK to mention, perhaps ball magnets are not too risque?

You don't look like you had any trouble staying under 120 pounds.

This year's field also has its bumps in the right places.

I'm trying not to get corralled by your asymmetrical funnel this year.

Whose goal was it to use all those chains?

Of course I'll still respect you after 135 seconds!

Who else would you like to see in our alliance?

(apologies if any of these repeat previous posts. no time available to read them all yet)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

ahh, bummer.

The Spotlights are back to "normal" inspirational quotes :D

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Now isn't that quite offensive? :p

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

It's that time of year again...

Anyone have any good Valentines for this year's game?

How about:

Come on baby, do the logomotion with me.


:)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

This is FIRST, there is no normal, only politicians use the word normal. Also, where else do teenagers dress up like calculators and not get embarrassed?

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

If they aren't appropriate for CD, are they appropriate to wear on a t-shirt at a competition? To paraphrase Woodie, would your grandmother be proud that you wore them?

(Or to get more personal, would you be comfortable wearing that shirt while talking to a judge?)

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Did you REALLY just quote a post from 2004 and expect a response? I don't think Alex still checks these forums.

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

8-year-old post or not, Carol still has a valid point *shrug*. I'm sure a lot of people will read the first post and think that it's a fantastic idea (it's not).

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

Let's see some 2015 Recycle Rush ideas for this!

Re: Valentines Day Spotlight?
 

I don't have any good ones for this year, but I do have a request.

Admins - even if you do eventually remove the spotlights away, can you leave the Valentines day ones? They make me smile every year (usually right around a pretty hectic time :P)
