Robotics Members Automatically Good Dancers?
 

For the past 2 national competitions i've seen some awesome dancers. But this weekend at UTC I was blown away. My friends and I from 236 were working the LEGO booth and we met up with 4 of the best dancers we've ever seen in our lives. They were Paul from 228, OJ from 228, Andre from 237 and Seth from 121. All I see are people running around and busting moves. I'm sure you've all seen our Tick Dance or we've made you do it. This makes me think, does Robotics automatically make a person a good dancer?

Not at all. But, you do tend to come up with new dances on the spot to out do your opponents dances.

As for those people you mentioned, I see you only mentioned 1 person from a team. Maybe that is the average, only one good dancer per team.

i dont think so... im alright (from what ive been told by honest friends)... and there is one kid that can not dance for his LIFE on our team... its kind of sad haha... and ill tell seth you said that (he doesnt have an account)

Re: Robotics Members Automatically Good Dancers?
 

no. Sam Harding is a very good dancer however I am not. Trust me.

Add another one to your list, Herectic.... :D

Rhode Warriors, You should ask Seth to dance for you. Maybe you guys could come up with a ruitine for nationals.


Has anyone had the pleasure of being asked to do the tick dance?

I'm a terrible dancer, but I guess being with other FIRST people who are just like me makes me care less about embarassment, so much that the guy in charge of video on my team included me making a fool of myself dancing in a recent promo video for the team. Ah! I can't help it. I'm reserved all other times... ;)

Guess that answers why there are so many good dancers in FIRST. Some people end up being far less embarassed, therefore go nuts.

I think that sums it up.

Re: Robotics Members Automatically Good Dancers?
 

I'd have to agree.. it seems as though there are a lot of people who are quite gifted when it comes to dancing. I only wish that i could have seen OJ perform his split...

I should warn you though, at the UTC regional i went up to the MC with a few fellow ticks and paul from gus, to ask him if the mascots could come up and all do the tick dance during one of the dead times. He then told us that there is an acutal rule against dancing!

(Sounds a tinsy little bit like footloose...) :p

Re: Robotics Members Automatically Good Dancers?
 

How sad! What would a robotics competition be like if there was no dancing?

I say we call a dance off at nationals! Who's in?

The White Boy Dance, is the king of all Dances, and the King of the White Boy Dance is ME!!! seriously, just ask anyone at NJ regional, i was the large volunteer that was dancing to everything and at annapolis, anyone at the dinner at the Radison knows my mad skilz yo

Re: Robotics Members Automatically Good Dancers?
 

I think we all dance b/c we dont care what the others are thinking since we are having a good time. Then again, I'm one of two people on my team that dance...

Dance Off anyone?

Re: Robotics Members Automatically Good Dancers?
 

I'm gonna have to say ditto here... but I dance anyways, because I think dancing next to Sam offsets my bad-ness.

hmm, maybe not? ;)

Re: Robotics Members Automatically Good Dancers?
 

I'm sure your great. No dance is bad in our book....unless its fresh ;)
