Truthfully, I find it awkward when the ladies go "Can we go on a bike ride with you?" Especially when they are serious:eek:

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

I forgot to post one.


I was Coach in Las Vegas Reg and i was standing there after being called up and this guy was like,
"Hey were you just um.. checking me out?"
...



Yeah boys, please dont use that one, its rather egotistic, lol

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

It might have been mentioned earlier in the thread, but during the finals a year or so ago, we turned our pit into a battery station for our alliance. We basically filled it with chargers and batteries from our three teams, as we were the closest to the entrance. One of the teams on our alliance was Castelleja, an all girls school.

Anywhoo, the guy manning the battery station ended up putting a sticky note with his email under one of the batteries before giving it back to Castelleja. Apparently he never got anything...:(

My girlfriend of ten months as of January 10th 2008 wanted me to post how I picked her up. We were on our way home to Greenwood(Indiana) from our regional in Milwaukee(Wisconsin) a five hour drive. She is sitting behind me on the minibus. I took out a sheet of paper and wrote on it (in sharpie),"Do you have a boyfriend". She replies, "No, why". I reply "Just wondering. Do you want one?". She replies, "Maybe". Now any guy at this point knows I'm in dangerous territory. This could easily go either way, at least thats what I thought. She has since told me that there pretty much wasn't any way that she would have gone out with me after that because she thought it was the cutest thing ever. She also told me that she initially thought about replying to me asking if she wanted a boyfriend by saying, "Why, got one in your pocket". As I said before we have been dating for nearly ten months now and I couldn't be happier.

I'd just like to say good luck to those Robotics guys out there (and I know they exist) who wonder if they'll ever find a girlfriend.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

OK, I just have to ask. Any girls out there been hit on by an older guy at a FIRST competition? I mean like, much older. Clearly, definitely, older, like there's no way that he could have mistaken you to be his age.

I was volunteering at an FLL regional and was running the teams to their presentation. There was this team of a bunch of like 6 year old little boys and one little girl. The team was definitely father-run, but the kids were little so what can you do. One of them grabs one of the kids, puts it on his lap, and then winks at me. I was like, O.K. that's cool, that could mean anything, he could just be one of those guys that winks at people. Well we started walking to the presentation area. He comes up and starts talking to me, and asking me all of these questions, like how old am I and stuff. We got there and I had to stand there and wait with them until their judges were ready. It seemed like forever. Eventually all of other dads came over too and were interested in FRC, so I got to explain that for a while, and then I booked out of there as soon as I could to get the next team. He winked at me as I turned to walk away. I passed him in the hall again later and he winked again and tried to start talking to me again. I think I murmered some excuse and made it look like I had something official to go do. I'm pretty shy, and I only flirt with people that I really know, if at all (weird, I know), so that was all really awkward and creepy for me.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

ive personally known a few girls before hand from a bunch of different teams , ive gotten the number on the back of a button thing before ( very cool btw )

Idk , i dont use lines and never have

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Wow this is actually a really funny thread..

and unfortunately i must admit i have tried a few lines or 2 on some girls at competition when i was in high school (whether it was at competition or in our hotel... meaning they stayed at the same place as us)

but i've long stopped doing that now...

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

We were at a Texas only robotics competition (BEST Robotics) in the pit and anna (girl on my team) was hack sawing some aluminum and some random kid came up and said "If you were in leather and had a whip, you would be my kind of girl" and walked away. I was like Holy Crap! He did not just say that!?!? :ahh: Now she is known as anna with the whip... :D

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Someone left me a heart shaped box of chocolate and a note with creepy stalker song lyrics taped to the inside of the door when I came to robotics today. It wasn't there when security locked the doors at 11 last night. We still don't know who it is and everyone on the team denies putting it there.

I'm scared.

(on topic, I have never received nor given a pickup line at competition, I...prefer to check out the robots >.>)

btw we're wearing scary black stalker clothing for Valentine's day

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

pickup lines are pointless if you have to use one it just shows how you cannot come up with ur own "stuff",just be urself and just have fun at the comps:cool:

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

That is the funniest thread in ChiefDelphi!

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

this is a guy speaking (MRbob1000)

me to a girl on 1111- "your robots got some hot pneumatic lines."
her-*laughter*
me - you a sophomore?
her- junior.
Me-you single?
her *laughter* yes
me-*uncomfortable...* me too...
*acward silence*
i then kept looking at her in the pits and i guess thats why some pwm cables came out.
later...
Me-you want my number? my team has to go now.
Her-will you be at regionals?
me-yep.
her- im sure we will see each other there.

sad thing is that i can remember her name

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

lo i just wanna say that thats hillarious

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

thats actually prety godd nice work

I went through that last year

I dont know if anyone could think this is a pick up but I asked someone where they where in the rankings

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

how about this one
Are you from Memphis, cause' you're the only "ten-i-see"

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

How about this one
Are you from Memphis, becasue you're the only "ten-i-see"

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

at the 2007 regional a random guy came up and asked me if I wanted to climb his ramp... it was a reference to the 2007 game but still creepy

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

What kind of loser would use that pick up line? Actually I know a kid on my team who would probably say that.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Every team has someone who would say something like that... we have a few. This is FIRST, higher percentage of smart yet "weird" kids then any other place I know. :D

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

My friend in the pits last year used to some pretty weird pick up lines. Can't remember them but they were really weird. But the funny thing is they worked. And i was all like :ahh:

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

haha, these are all pretty funny. This is gonna be my first year at any regionals so we'll see how things goes.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

I generally don't see the really geeky or "lame" ones as lame, because I'm a geek with no social skills myself.

But I did get two that were kinda sad.

I felt really bad for this guy, and I hope against hope he doesn't read this:
He came up to me and said "Hey. Do you know what I'm bad at?"
Me- "No, what?"
Him - "Talking to amazing people like you."


The other one was after this whole line of people at the social had fallen into each other, domino-style. I was the second to the last, and fell into the last guy. He came up to me a few minutes later and said "Hey, I was just looking for this beautiful girl that fell into me a few minutes ago..."

Other than that, nothing.

Guy always seem to think they are about to cause an awkward silence when they talk to me. Rarely are they correct. They'll start talking about LOTR or something and expect me not to follow, and are amazed when I do.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

On my team, some of us wear tube skirts (from last year) over our jeans,
so I was walking around and then one guy was like; Hey, you're a keeper!


It was a good referance to last years game
and it wasn't half bad
and he was joking, so its all cool
=]

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Regionals this year were rather disappointing...I got landed with head scout so my butt was glued to the seats the whole time. However, the underclassmen on the team more than made up for it....:rolleyes:

Atlanta will be interesting since I'm in the Hall of Fame all the time and all you do is talk to people......

On the back of my HOT sweatshirt this year I put HOT CHAIRMAN (because I'm on the chairmans subteam) and a guy at school is always like "you're one hot chairman;) " -- does it count if hes not on the team? lol

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

I didn't try this...but theoretically, it would be pretty lame.

"Hey, baby, I'd love to shift YOU into OverDrive..."

(Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of pickup lines. I can barely bring myself to say hello to a member of the opposite sex let alone use an embarassing pickup line on one...)

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Last year, our head scout was you know scouting the other teams for a match talking to them and such, and a guy from another team asked if she wanted to lick barbecue off of him; she was rather disgusted obviously. This year though we saw him around at the regional and we were thinking about going up to him and make the two biggest guys on our team ask him the same question. We never did though.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Fortunately, I've never been the subject of any pickup lines at a regional or otherwise. I don't think they're very original or flattering.
On the flattery note, it's a complete turn off when a guy is like 'you're beautiful/amazing' when he first meets you. In my opinion, of course.

BUT I do have to say I met my current boyfriend at this year's Regional. :rolleyes: So, it's not like you have to use lines.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

After much deliberation, we are no longer "sarcastic" but "desperate."

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

The motion has been approved by the board and passed the votes. We are now looking for volunteers!

(Except for me, of course. I'm very happy with my girlfriend, thankyouverymuch! :D )

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Haha. I didnt have to use a pickup line. My girl just kind of came to me. That's also because we had been talking for a while before the regional.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Ive never had enough time to be intrested in the opposite sex at a competition...

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

The pickup line thats most used on our team would have to be

"Hey, wanna trade shirts?"

Or some reference to getting another teams shirt.
Its a few of our's goal is to get every teams shirt. :)

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

I have a pretty solid one... its more of a move... its too epic to type. mainly because i dont want any guys to steal my move. its worked well to this day and only failed 2 out of the 72 times i have used it... thats 97 percent!

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Honesty, why do you guys try to use pick up lines? Isnt it a known fact by now that most of them do not work? Your just embarrassing yourself. Just say hello, make small talk, If the a girl is interested, they will talk back :)

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Boys have also said, "Nice Skirt" Or "That was soooo last year :confused:"

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

um..... what are pick-up lines.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

I accidentally hit a guy in the pits once, and he made a joke about me hitting on him. Coincidentally, that same competition I had 6 other guys trying to pick me up XD

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

DEFINITELY good! Especially when we're carrying stuff... but even if we're not I think chivalry is always a good thing. Even though chicks can be chivalrous to guys, too.... :D

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

heres a good one: last year we named our robot charlie from that really corny youtube video, it was funny for us immature guys tho. neways i dont remember how me and my buddy met her but she was an artist (pre-picasso) and she was good so she drew us a scene of the youtube video character charlie the unicorn in it. it was awesome. its forever place on our shipping box.

ladies, i liked the skirts made out of the ringers from last year. innovative

i got three numbers and three long distance friendships this year by making small talk after asking for signatures on bandannas. so small talk does work and im not even that good looking.

o and one last thing my good friend and co driver joe isn't the boldest and this will be our first year at nats. so if u would be so kind as to stop by 171 pit and say hello -we'll give you some wisconsin regional trademark blinky lights(dont worry u'll see them)- i'd appreciate it. thanks

and plus for retro day we will be wearing shirts that say cheese curd herd on them so u definately have to check them out. lol

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

WOW I'd be in on that :D Who needs dates when you can spend some nice quality time with our dear friend Master Chief...!?

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

I quite like that one. I might want to use it at Roboprom 08 coming up... :D But you know, even in the stands or the pits, that's still pretty hot...

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?

I actually got that one a LOT this year!! It probably had a LOT to do with the fact that I was the robot mascot, and I had a computer keyboard across my chest...?

Ok you guys have some pretty beasting pick up lines compared to mine but im gonna tell you anyway b/c i can! haha

This is a great story.

My freshman year 06' This kid Arthur W. decides to start showing us pictures on the bus ride there of his so called girlfriend, me and the guy next to me both say why arent you in the pic, hes like i gotta take the picture dont I, from there it escalated, He liked a girl at the table across from us but was afraid to talk to her so i was like alright here come wit me ill take these glowsticks and u start talking, so he does then afterwards he takes a picture but i didnt notice, then on the busride home he shows us the picture calling her his girlfriend and still continues that till this day (WITH DIFFERENT PICS OF GIRLS AT FRC MIDWEST REGIONAL!) but hes going to Guerin high school this year so we wont see him again.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

I've got a few robotics pick-up lines. They often don't work, especially with girls who aren't on robotics. :P

My personal favorite.

Nice rack. Want to see my pinion?

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

not a pickup line but every guy on our team (all 10 of us) said they would get at least 1 number the only one to too get anywhere on the team was one lone freshmen everyone else fell on their faces (I didn’t but being team driver and leader of the team I didn’t have time but would have fallen to the stupidity if I had) it was embarrassing for all of us to lose to a freshmen especially after all of us talked so big in the van on the way over.

I was volunteering at the FTC Championship at CSUN, recently, and there was a wrap party. There was the coolest human foose ball inflatable toy, which was really fun. As soon as I got out, I was still in a soccer playing mood. I took the soccer ball and asked someone if I could score on him. I didn't notice what I said until a couple seconds later. I started laughing and he gave me a really weird look. Thing is, I didn't mean it to be any type of sexual innuendo.. ahh w.e. But I laughed sooo hard after.

Funniest pick up line:
Did you just fart?
No.
Because you blew me away.

(If someone came up to me and said that, I would give that person the biggest hug for having a sense of humor)

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

at the risk of sounding weird:
i don't think the girls are drawn to the linux ;)

and i've never been approached at a competition but there were a group of guys that came up to me and my friends in the hotel we stayed at and they were like
we found a "free room" wanna check it out? my cerfew is at 11

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Hmmmm as a former World of Warcraft player myself( I broke the habit in November) I must say that is a horrible pick up line.

2) hey girl hey...i like them tights and the pink is really cute...pink and green go nicely together...and those are the colors of the game this year...we should click like that..hit me up later (proceeds to give me his number)

3) well since your a robette which is a female robot, and we only have boys on our team...we should talk sometime..

4) hey you go to an all girls school so you must not talk to guys all that much...how bout i break that habit..hi im tim

Re: don't go onesided either.....
 

One weekend this year, a guy on my team pointed out a girl on annother team and turned to me and said "wow she is hot.."
I turned and said "do you want her number, or what?"
He replied "No, I stand no chance"
I got up and got her number :)
lol

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

all you gotta do is just go up to em and talk liek normal i did that an dgot a girls number and then a week aftere we went to the movies :) ...i also looked completely rediculous whne i asked her

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

so our team was just standing around in our pit in atlanta when a few ppl from this team come give us a little orange handheld fan. we turned it on and found that it lights up. the first setting says go waldo girls go. then it has a bunch of hearts. then it says call us. and the next one was a phone number.

we called the number a little while later and the guy said turn around im behind u :| we're still laughing about that

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

alright so last year in atlanta i was in our team's pit with my friend and these guys came up to us and said they were scouting. they asked us a few questions about the robot but then they just started asking us random questions and then one of them proceeded to introduce himself as "Jonas the German Love Machine"
wow good times :)

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Oh man, I wish I would have seen this thread before the Michigan State Competition. I met this really cute girl while scouting ( :P ), and I might have had the courage to talk to her again had I seen this beforehand. Oh well, maybe I'll see her at a fall off-season competition. ;)

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Ha.. So I wasn't even in the pit when this happened. But a bunch of guys came into our pit and walked up to Michelle(she's my best friend) and they go.."Umm hey where is that one girl, you know curly brown hair, she's wearing shorts, she has that elephant backpack on, she looks like she is a cheerleader(I don't even know how they knew that or could tell I was) ?" Michelle is like ohh shes scouting she will be back later....the funny thing is.. They kept on coming around and around and around but never had the courage to talk to me.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

this one worked on me during the summer on a cruise: as a Hookup line ONLY

after talking about random stuff for a while, this girl leaned over and kissed me on the cheek and said "i know we'll only be here for a week, but do you think we could hook up or something?" it worked, and we had a good time on the cruise; the odd thing is that we've still been in a long distance relationship (not all LDR's are bad) for 4 years!!! we'll see if we ever end up seeing each other again...

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

I did once ask a girl if she wanted to build my robot... that relationship didn't last very long...

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

While our team was competing, we like to have a couple girls stay in the pits at all times for the judges and for random questions. I told the other girls that they could go up and watch, cause it made me nervous so I stayed in the pits.
Well earlier that day a bunch of boys had been circling around "scouting"
They had "scouted" our team 5 times and for the 6th time, they were like can we ask you some questions about your robot. i was like oh of course, but our robot is gone.
Then they proceeded to say, oh its ok we dont mind. As I started to explain it, one of the guys said "Hey ya know were staying in the Americ Inn right down the street, you should stop by."
I just laughed and after a couple minutes of awkward silence, they left

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

At the NASA/VCU Regional this year I was in the pits about to relay a message to the guys queuing for our next match. I'm like paraniod about going places by myself so I took two of the guys with me. We were looking for them in the line when these two guys came up to me and were like "Do you want a button?"

Then the two guys from my team were like "Can we get a button?" and the two nervous guys were like "Uh... that was our last one. We just wanted to talk to her."

And apparently while I was scouting with the other girl on my team we were hit on, but I'm just completely oblivious cause I missed it every single time. She told me later when we were in the stands and I was like "Oh... Were any of them cute?" She said no so I wasn't worried about it.

One of the girls on our team was tackled by a hawk mascot in roller skates to where he was on her on the last day while everyone else was helping pack up. We joke around with her saying that the hawk was doing pelvic thusts in her general direction. :)

The guys in my team make up pickup lines at the competition during our matches.

"I'll turn your super cell into an empty cell." is the only one I can remember right now. I just really hope they didn't use them on anyone.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

We had a guy come into our pit and ask to talk to our safety captain. She asked him if she could help him and his reply was "I would give you a safety token but it's not safe to have a body that fine in the pits." Her boyfriend wheeled up with our robot after a match at that exact moment.

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

thats a good line... i have to say, im impressed, the timing was off, but otherwise.... great line

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

maybe its because im already a over protective brother....

but i have scared some boys away from our pits...

lets see iv heard
the usual "you going to the social"
"can i give you a massage"
"i have abs of steel...and i dont even work for em"
"i have a thinkg about redheads"
"you do crew? i do too, we should date"
and ANOTHER MENTOR HIT ON ONE OF MY STUDENDS......no comment on that one....

Then some guys jumped onto one of our girls and tried dancing/grinding with her at the hotel...that got put to an end REAL quick:mad:...

so all in all, i think i scared away about 3-4 guys this season. And by scared i mean they never said another word to any of our freshmen girls...and they where right next to us... like i said..i may be a little over protective....:P

althought i was proud our boys gave their numbers away, i was starting to think they had no lives hehe

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

As i have already posted three or four times with bad pick up lines, sometimes the best thing that works is just talking to us like we arent a different kind fo creature. We are just girls and usually we are more than willing to talk to you if you talk to us normally and put away the pick up lines. Thats how I have kept a bunch of good robotics friends. :)

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

I've been married since *cough* and pray that I never need to have a "pickup line" ever again. I don't pretend to be an expert. I would think that, given the people and place involved, the best line would be, "Hey, cool robot. Can you tell me about how it works?"

I swear, youth is wasted on young men... :)

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

I'd second that.

That's the advice I give to all of the new kids on the team. It seems like it works. :D

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

This thread is too fun to die. I'll revive it with the best pick-up line I've ever used. Guys, are you listening? This one involves a digital multimeter.

1. Walk up to the girl with the multimeter and say, "hey, want to see my second favorite way to use a multimeter?"
2. Girl should reply, "sure."
3. Have her hold one probe in her left hand and you hold one probe in your right. Set the multimeter to resistance mode (2 Mohm range if manual ranging).
4. Ask her to hold your hand and talk about how cool it is when the resistance number goes down.

At this point, you've already gotten her to hold you hand, but if you'd like to continue:

5. Say, "and that's my second favorite way to use a multimeter."
6. Girl should ask, "what's your first favorite way to use a multimeter?"
7. Respond, "showing you my second favorite way to use a multimeter." ;)

And that should do it. I've tested this one, and it works. And you have to admit, it is a pretty clever way to use a multimeter. :D

Alternatively, if you're feeling really ambitious, after step four, when you're each holding one probe and she holds your hand and the resistance reading drops, say, "see, you cannot resist!" Disclaimer: I have not tested that one.

Ultra-disclaimer: Entire above post is all in good fun. Girls: please do not hate me. :p

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

I honestly don't see who has time to try and "pick up" girls at robotics. I'm so busy and hyper at events that if I see someone I'm attracted to or if I'm getting along with well in conversation, I'll think "hey, maybe I should get her Facebook / number / whatever" several hours after the fact... Robotics is really the only place where I'm distracted from girls.

On the rare occasion I can't stop thinking about someone cool I just met at a comp, I just go talk to them again really, like a normal person. Don't let this dissuade you from using terrible pickup lines; after all this is one of my favorite CD threads :P

If you find your quotes sprinkled throughout this thread, I am happy to give advice on how to avoid that fate :)

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

ok this isnt really a pick up line but w.e. so me and my friend lauren were sitting on the bleachers at a comp. scouting and the HOT team was sitting nxt to us and their macot mitchell kept lookin at us.. so once he looked at us and then came over and started talking to us and was like michelle and lauren do u want a pin??? were like sure..... he walked away and we both looked at each other and were like how the heck does he kno or names.... and since im the mascot for our team he keep like following me and lauren around every where we went.... then we just started talking to our friends on RUSH and he left us alone and every comp. after that hed just either stare at us or start talking to us and were like what the heck... It was very weird thing.....

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

That inspires a pretty bad pickup line anyone on 67 is welcome to use...

"Who's hot?"

"YOU'RE HOT!"

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

I must admit, i used that to get one of my friends and a few people that i ran into to laugh. (not to get numbers) They thought it was funny then some of them asked ME for my number and i gave it to them. Guess people really like seeing how low they can get the resistance. :rolleyes:

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Well this is not really from a regional but it's something that happened recently.

"Do you wanna get together and run an autonomous mode? You can play defense and I'll kick the ball."

Re: girls: what's the lamest pickup line u've got from a guy at robotics comp?
 

Too fantastic. Though most of those of the male persuasion that we encounter at competition arent quite as... "suave" shall we say? I distinctly remember being hit on repeatedly by guys in the most obvious and awkward manners. Boys, if it's a girl you seek, be genuine and comfortable.

Last year, my favorite "hit-on" quote was as follows: "Blarglefish will spare you!"

Poor guy.
