Favorite quotes on CD gear!
 
Ok, if I (or someone else) were to make a shirt for the ChiefDelphi forums, what quote would you want on it? the random spotlights are a good place to start, but doesn't have to be. It can be anything, just has to be from ChiefDelphi. (Engineering Slogans is also a good place to look)

I'm looking for humorous things that show a bit of personallity or a memorable thread.

Here's my list so far:
Quote:

I am JVN! - ???
Everyone knows the best way to lose weight is to turn the robot upside down, shake vigourously, and throw away anything that falls out. - Mark Hamilton
I guess my only option is to either stop picking on Dave or come up with an even better picture! Now, which one do you think I'll choose? - MissInformation
So my mom gave up most of the house to robotics.... - ElfMaster
there is no such thing as too many offseason competitions. - Berserker
No, I've never done 3D programming before, but I'm young and naive, so I still think I can do it. ;) - Ryan Morehart
Maybe I`m just weird. - JVN
Don't count out some of the new guys, they will suprise you!! - PMGRACER

When fun is outlawed, only outlaws will have fun. - Gadget470
You only really ever need 2 things in your tool box: A Hammer to separate things that shouldn't be together, and Duct Tape to put things together that shouldn't be apart. - Dave_222
At FIRST, our only colors are red or blue. And we are only those for two minutes! - tenfour
ALL technology is run on 'Magic Smoke' contained within the device. As everyone knows, whenever the magic smoke is released, the device ceases to function. - kmcclary
sometimes you just have to escape the wheel. - Tytus Gerrish
Do what you want. Deal with the results. - Andy Baker
It`s what this is all about. Making dreams happen. - Astronouth7303
Texas! Here we come! - Harrison
Edison was once asked "how do you come up so many good ideas?" to which he responded "for every good idea, I have 99 bad ideas first." - dlavery
I was surprised how easily Mike hoisted me off the ground. I'm nearly 250 pounds and he lifted me up like I was a soccer ball! :ahh: - Koko Ed
a Victor is a Victor is a Victor. - Billfred
Fame is a funny thing, you can do nothing and get it, and do everything and get none. For me, it`s not fame, but infamy that follows me. - JosephM
There are only 4 seasons of the year my friend, build season, competition season, post-season and pre-season. - Tom Schindler
My friend Noah said he talked to someone that knew me from Chiefdelphi. That's just creepy. - Adam Y.
Maybe you should whack it a few times with a hammer. That always seems to fix our robots. - Adam Y.
Duct tape is like the force; it has a dark side, a light side, and it holds the universe together - ???
Warning: this reply is just an approximation of what I meant to convey - engineers cannot possibly use just written words to express what they are thinking. - Raul
'Take a man to a FIRST contest and he's entertained for three days. Teach a man to build a FIRST robot, and he`s out of your hair for six weeks a year...' - kmcclary
'FIRST: We take young human beings, born in captivity, educate them in science and technology, and re-release them into the wild.' - kmcclary
If your robot doesn't work, it doesn't matter, because the robot is really meaningless, in the long run. What is the important thing, the reason we're all in FIRST then? To better our understanding of Science and Technology, and hopefully make the world a better place. - Ian W.
Being a mentor only requires an open mind and fifty thousand times more responsibility. - Amanda Morrison
"The sooner we get behind the longer we have to catch up." (quoting another engineer from his team) - Matt Leese
The pen [may be] mightier than the sword, but the bandsaw can chop them both. - Marc P.

`Things should be as simple as possible, but not simpler` - Albert Einstein - Edward Debler
One last thing, if a mechanical part fails on you, sometimes you can get a little bit of noise back into it by yelling at it, kicking it, or pounding on it with your fist. This might put enough back into it so it will work for a few more minutes. - KenWittlief
I`m not gonna reinvent the wheel cause I can already buy it :) - Stephen Kowski
`It`s not a weapon, it`s an active bumper system.` - Ameya
Never Underestimate the power of zip ties! - tonyargote

We're making shirts?

A CD Shop would be kind of cool, actually...

I'm looking for humorous things that show a bit of personallity or a memorable thread.

Here's my list so far:

I sure hope that you wouldn't make these shirts or gear. #1. ChiefDelphi isn't your team and you shouldn't use their name without their permission. You may include a quote that would be bad against their name or image.

I say bad idea. To quote what Brandon said: "We're making shirts?"

Re: Favorite quotes on CD gear!
 
I think depending on the occasion it may be appropriate. For example, I would purchase a webhug shirt cause that's just cool, but otherwise I don't think we just need a CD shirt. Chief Delphi the team has their own thing, as David said pretty accurately. Individual events, such as nationals also have their own shirts.

Re: Favorite quotes on CD gear!
 
Would anybody buy shirts if they were available by the team?

Aignam 28-08-2004 01:12

Re: Favorite quotes on CD gear!
 
Maybe. Depends on price and style.

I would buy CD webhug shirts in a heartbeat.. :)

Maybe next year in Atlanta you can have one version for the CD winners of online awards and another version for the "general public".

Yeah, I agree. Put some of those prize quotes on there too.

Would anybody buy JVN thongs at Nats if I had them printed up?

I'd be interested. I think you've stumbled upon a nice little fundraiser! :) It doesn't hurt to look into it. See what the shirts, cost of printing, and how many people really are interested to see if it's worth it or not. This might turn out to be a good fundraiser for your team. I don't know if your team budgets for Jelsoft but it might even be good for these forums.

P.S. If you're really serious in finding out if people here are interested you might want to move this thread or start a new one in the "General Forum". I know there's people on here that don't bother with the "Chit-Chat" section and will never see this thread.

File me like most of the above gents (and maybe ladies--it's too early in the morning to distinguish genders)...if the price is right, I'd gladly add to my now-trimmed FIRST shirt collection. Something like ten to twelve bucks and shipping seems right.

(of course, I could see the options now...priority mail, parcel post, or we chuck it at you at a competition!)

No, CafePress.com lets you do that.

And (unfortunately for you) ChiefDelphi is the name of the forum, too. I think it'll say "ChiefDelphi.com" or "ChiefDelphi Forums", to be precise. Bradon, do you care exactly what it says?

I can't wait to have my quote on a thong! Great graduation present! Great for the relatives! Good for the girlfriend.... ;)
