What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

Just wondering what types of food you have been living off of while working on your robot? Our team has had pizza almost 3-4 times a week or more. Just wondering.

It's wonderful- my parents and others can really cook, so we've been eating quite well. It also helps to have a dinner-bearer scheduled for each day as opposed to becoming hungry and running out for pizza. We had ham, salad, bread, and pie last night. Life is good!

Everyonce in a while our mentor gets us pizza but most of the six weeks we have been eating Ramen Chicken Soup. Just because it takes 5 minutes to make them. They taste good too :D

For us it was more like "get your own food"
so i've been living off of snickers, pizza and stranahan water...

Most of 1293 has been living off of Subway during the season, due to the fact that it's the closest thing to the school.

Over the season, I have filled out two and a half Sub Club cards.

One of our team member's parents owns the largest vegetarian restaurant in Ithaca, Moosewood. We get delicious desserts and/or complete dinners almost every night. Moosewood is awesome!

Pizza? Man, you guys're lucky. :p Though the food we HAVE had hasn't been half bad-- coffee is provided on a regular basis (courtesy of the wife of one of our mentors), and so are cookies. Really nice cookies. And since a lot of us seem to bring our own lunch anyway, that's plenty in the way of snacks as far as I'm concerned. ^_^

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

hmm..shameless to say JUNKFOOOD! someparents bought lik 150$ worth of junk food filedl 3 boxes, and we only finshed 1 out of 3 boxes:p. besides from junk food we ordered pizza once a week or twice a week. guess what's really funny finshing 36 bottles of water less than a day and there was only 6 people that day...

Well, you have. Some of us weren't lucky enough to get Pot Noodles as part of our lunch. :p

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

Our team has a system that each student is responsible for bringing about 2 meals for the team during the season (I'm sure the parents help out a little :rolleyes: . Its really been great to have a good meal every night. On other nights we actually called up Boston Market or Hungry Howies and they donate food to our team...so we always seem to eat pretty good. :D

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???

Haha. we just scrounge. a while ago we got someone to bring in some sams value packs of popcorn, so we live off popcorn (we had about 50 packs). We also have some chex mix lying around, and lots of sodas. We got some Dr. Perky, and for a while we were going to name the robot Dr. Perky. That kinda got shot down :-) We are right next to the downtown mall in Charlottesville so we just run over and get pizzas when we want something more. Enterprising moms sometimes bake us brownies :-)) or doughnuts :-D

This year there seems to be some hot dog fetish or something. :p Me personally, I like the cocoa on the cold nights working in the abandoned Ames building with no heat.

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

Mostly the 99 cent menu at Wendys. Everone writes down what they want and pays. Someone goes and orders it, Wendys goes insane making chicken nuggets, fries, and Jr. Bacon cheeseburgers, and then we eat it all...YUM! :)

Q:What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
A: Hope with a side of hard work and a supersize order of determination.

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

You guys are going to hate me for posting this, but we've been virtually spoiled for the last 6 weeks. One of our members' mom owns a restaurant in town and she brings us food everyday to our meetings. She is literally the lifeforce that binds this team together. Without her, we'd all weigh 10 pounds more than we did at the start of the six weeks. So let me take this opportunity to say thank you.

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

What is htis food, I have had pizza two time swith just a few ppoeple we can't hold hopes to have even 10 people at 1 time there. I've been hardcore been there when only 1 other captain co- dudes was there. All in all last couple of days we had like mustards deli sub like yums. Good stuff. If you only stayed till like 5 we start at for usually til at least 9 some 1 is there maybe on week ends and fridays once 5 dudes turned metal a few working gearboxes into a a1/4 plate with 4 gearboxs and motors as well as driving power.

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

Yep. We hate you alright. :p

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

pizza, soda, and lifesavers. The wintogreen flaver in particular. They were last year's giveaways for competitions, but we had a lot left over, and they're very addicting...

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

Carbonated drinks, pizza, and every fast food place within 10 miles of the school which include a wide variety from subs, tacos, chicken, burgers, BBQ,

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

Pizza, Fish, anything I can grab when I get home 2 hours after the rest of the family have eaten... :rolleyes:

...and of course my habitual bag of Cookies at the Bus Station for the Commute home! ;)

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

We have Pizza all the time, (Little caesars) but we drink mountain dew like water.

Unfortunatley, i picked to give mountain dew up for lent.... its torture. Last night, a few of us went up to school to fix the major disaster after the Sussex pre-tourny. 4 kids = a cooler full of dew. Go figure. :)

we have been or I have been livin off of good old sawdust and pieces of metal that shot at me from the robot. Maybe some days I had some lubricating oil to slide the metal down my throat easily but it was mostly pieces of metal from the dremel or drills. mmm....just like how they make it at grandmas. ;)

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

This year our team has been fed on more then mostly pizza our parents and MOE Booterz have done an amazing job working with the parents to give us a variety of foods to eat this year. but we still get the pizza at least once a week, cause it wouldn't be build with out the pizza.

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

My mom is a caterer and didn't like us eating Sonic every day. As a result we've been getting catered every work day except Saturdays, but we go from 8-12 so people usually pick up a meal before and after. Since she has an account which she provides lunch for every week day she just makes extra and sends that over to use. The meal usually consists of some sort of chicken dish (though sometimes pork or beef) with a salad and a side of some sort (mostly rice). We also get deserts (small cookies and/or brownies) and sodas, though those usually go quickly.

Bagels. Lots of bagels. There's a bakery near our school and bagels are very cheap. We can't afford anything on them, but they're fresh at least. I'm living proof that the Atkins diet is a load of rubbish.

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

lol, we've been living off taco bell and pizza hut for the last...4-5 weeks. We should all be fat by now, but with all the stuff we've been doing, we've actually all lost weight, :D

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

Dark chocolate and plenty of nachos.. Mmm mmm..

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

Is it bad if I am eating a four day old piece of pepper and onion pizza and liking it?

Really, I feel fine. What's that you say, Mr. Lincoln? You'd like more tea with your crumpets? Fine, as soon as Upton Sinclair stops pontificating and starts boiling the water.

We've got our build site at the local mall, which also has a food court, so finding food hasn't been a problem. For the weeknight build sessions we had a few people who would run out for sodas and snacks, and then we'd charge a quarter for each item, which would go back into the food fund to buy more snacks.

Our lead mentor thinks that we spent too much time on snacks and not enough on the bot. He's probably right :)

Re: What has your team been living off of for the past 6 weeks???
 

Usually the parents of the team bring us something to eat on weekends and when no one does we order some of the greasiest pizza in existance :D On Saturdays we usually go to Mc Donalds, Jack in th box, In-and-Out, or whatever burger place we can.
