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

LOL. This thread is epic! I have WAY too many stories.

SVR two years ago (my first year) a girlfriend and I were hanging out in our pits. A guy from another team walks up to us, and we begin chatting. Looking at his team shirt, I say, "Oh, you're from team ****?"
My friend jokingly says, "No, he's a spy pretending that he's from that team."
The guy responds: "That's right. I'm here to steal your parts. What's your most valuable part?"
My friend awkwardly says, "Well, duh! We are!"
The guy doesn't think before he delivers this line: "Oh, well, I couldn't fit both of you girls under my shirt at once."
At this point, we can't help but laugh. Poor guy turns bright red and runs off.

Then last year @ SVR... one of my friends from another team introduces me to a boy from an all boy's team, who I happened to be Facebook friends with for some reason. My friend insinuates very poorly that said all boy's team guy has a thing for me. All boy's team dude ends up asking me for my number, then texts me as we're about to leave, telling me that my team forgot our label maker in the pits, which I distinctly remember packing. We aren't sure whether he stole it to get me to go back to the pits or if we honestly forgot it. Regardless, we sent our team captain to the pits to retrieve the label maker.

Last year's Sacramento Regional has got to be the worst tournament I've been to in terms of bad flirting. While leaving the stands, the guy sitting behind me asks for a high five. I gave it to him, and asked, "Why?" His response, complete with stereotypical nerd/creep accent: "Cuth you're pwetty." Later when I was in the stands, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Same guy. "I made thith for you!" He was holding out some sort of beaded thing. "Why????" "CUTH YOU'RE PWETTY!" I told him I had a boyfriend (not true, but it's a kinder rejection than "NO") and he asked me to take it anyways. After he left, I gave it to the team captain to get rid of (thank you team captain :D). It's been almost a year and people on my team still make fun of me for that...

Oh, and then at the same regional, I saw a water bottle hanging on a string from the hands, so, being naturally inquisitive, pulled on it. Two guys lean over the stands to look down at me and exclaim "Wow! We caught a pretty one!"

And there's the time (same regional) when someone who looked like a freshman told me and my friend that we were "as sexy as chocolate strawberries." Cute.

Also, not my own story, but one of my girl friends said she got asked for her number at SVR one year and then SVR the year after by the same guy. D:

Sorry for the long post, I just had too much to share. Hope this made someone laugh.

tl;dr Girl gets hit on at robotics and hilarity ensues.

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

I don't have a regional story to post, but this did remind me of a funny story a friend told me.

One time he was getting a tour of RPI. At one point they mentioned the male/female ratios and how there's a lot less girls. Just then a girl walks by, two men jump out of the bushes, cry "THERE'S ONE" and run off.

Obviously staged, but it's still amazing.

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

wow. These are pretty good and funny. I wish I had some stories like this.

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

You will find some stories. After all FIRST partly about the social interactions between people so you are bound to find one eventually (I am a freshman so don't hold my opinions with absolute certainty.) Our dear Mike gave an autograph to a shy fan of his. I don't think we will ever let him forget about this when he mentors.

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

I was just asked "did I look 67 to you?" this weekend...instead of trying to figure out an appropriate response, my immediate thoughts were mostly freaking out about the FIRST reference.

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

my team, 3204, is an all girls rookie team from ny. so eventually that got around, and some guys came up to me and my friends and asked if we were lesbians. we aren't so we said no. then they asked if we would prove it to them. i walked away laughing.

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

I'm in the British team (no further explanation needed xP), and some kid from 1230 tried to get me to believe that Americans had a tradition where all foreigners had to wear *just* fishnet stockings on a Sunday. Weak...

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

ok girls i just got the lamest pickup line ever
"HI" that my pickup line!!!:D

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

Well i'm guessing no one got hit on from 2010-2012?

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

Or it was just too embarrassing to post about.

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

Haha to embarrassing? I guess you haven't met us we have no shame hence the corny pick up lines

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

Hey how come u never got back to me lol jk

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

For all of those mathematician guys out there:

How can I know 41 digits of pi and not the 7 digits of your phone number?

You then proceed to list out the digits of pi, and bingo! This only gets awkward when the girl knows more digits of pi than you do...

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

I will never ever use this one, but here it goes.

"Hey babe, I wish you were a derivative so that I could lay tangent to your curves."

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

Well one I never used it but here's one:
Girl I must be sin^2 and you must be cos^2 cause together we make one

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

Last year some unknown member from fembots(all girls school) left a note in our pit with their number on it for our driver after we won the sac regional, we pushed him to call it but he's an extremely modest and quiet guy. Either way it was pretty funny. :rolleyes:

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

This. I can't speak for the rest of my team, but shame is not in my vocabulary. Especially with robotics.

We don't necessarily get use pickup lines much...but...It seems that every few years someone on my team refuses to go to prom. Two years ago it was a student who was too shy to actually ask anyone to go, so the rest of the team arranged it for him, and as we are an all boys school, they managed to get the girl to ask him to go. He (the guy) wanted to go, but couldn't muster the courage to make it happen.

This year, I am the prom defector. I have given my teammates the opportunity to get me to go, however. All they need to do is find a girl who will 3D print her prom dress and I will go. No questions asked.

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

This one came up at our afterparty a few times as a joke:

"Hey babe, on a scale of one to America, how free are you tonight?"

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

They don't even talk to me, they just stalk me!

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

Today at competition, we were collecting buttons. So this guy in the pits took out buttons back and wrote his number on the back. We're calling it tonight ;)

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

Haha some of these pickup lines are great!! I'm actually rather disappointed at the lack of hilarious pickup lines at MAR competitions. I think the best I have ever heard was a boy coming up to a girl, calling her pretty, and offering to massage her hair :confused:

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

Yesterday, I was spectating (that's code for engaging in industrial espionage) when I noticed a girl wearing zip ties as hoops attached to her earrings. Didn't actually use a pickup line on her, just told her that she wins everything for being the first person in real life I've seen wearing zip ties for fashion, and compared her to a mythical being.

No pepper spray was used, so I would consider that a successful day.

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

saw a meme just now, where it said Normal people flirting = "Hey babe, how are you?" me flirting = "if you were a potato... you'd be a good potato....." it made me laugh so hard because its so true lol

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

I know that I had a giant friendcrush on "Mr. Mustache" from team 118/148 at SVR, but I was too nervous to go up to him and say "I like your mustache." (Pretty sure he's a mentor too js)

Our safety captain has quite a few stalkers and some very interesting stories.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???
WHO

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

Lol, I know who it is ;D

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

Mustache Man of 118? Yup, mentor. Our drive team admired his facial hair and told him so more than once when they were at Bayou. He chuckled when I told him that 'You have an amazing mustache that our entire team is admiring. Our human player says it makes him proud to be an American' but in general I'm pretty sure he was okay with us telling him so. I'm also going to assume he was okay with us greeting him as "Hello Mustache Man!" a few times, cause he just smiled.

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

Oh so I was at the FRC Orlando regional (I'm my FRC teams safety captain:4013) so since our theme is steam punk I'm in this really hot black dress and so a guy is like wow! You're hot , oh and temperature wise too! And I was like wow. Who knew?

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

At our Colorado Social this guy was walking past me and let out a scream of pain and grabbed his eyes. I turned around with a look of concern on my face and he goes "oh sorry, your beauty just blinded me!" Call me crazy but I died a little inside, I thought it was so cute :) I don't even know the kids name or team. Heck I dont even remember what he looked like but that was so cute!

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

I totally agree. our team all admired him from a distance at Bayou in shock of his heavenly mustachetude. I just want to put it out there that he has ruined all other mustaches for me... they all pale in comparison to the glory of his.

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

I've never actually got this one(I wish)... but to all guys that need a good pick up line for math girls:

Can I be your derivative so I can lie tangent to your curves? :)

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

Here's one of my more successful ones:

"I know the first 10 digits of pi but no the 10 digits of your number"

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

Ladies and gentleman I think I can top all of your claims. My team mate has driven around his FTC robot and made a special made attachment so he drive up to the girl and tap her shoe with an arm then the robot hands her a piece of paper saying she is Beautiful and asks for her number. IT works 99% percent of the time.
But I prefer a more magical approach. I do magic a magic trick that involves me guessing their number using their calculator. (no reversing math is involved.) lets just say by the end of the trick Im calling them on their phone number they never told me saying they should totally take a picture with me and become my BFF.

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

i love this thread!
My team says that i'm the Human "Player" so I might be the right person to reply to this thread!
I don't use pick up lines, but in the Champioship I had a big black sexy fake mustache.
Aparently girls fall for that, since I had quite fun in the Champ ;)

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

I was scouting at regionals this year and I was talking to a team's drive captain about what their robot. I asked for anything special about their robot and he replied "well their drive captain is extremely hot" and wouldn't leave it alone until I wrote it on the scouting sheet. To give him props though he's the only one I met there that I still talk to on a regular basis. :yikes:

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

Being on an all girls team, there are too many to count.....

This is to the guys:

Do you really think that leaving a mysterious button/flyer/piece of paper/flying disk/piece of metal/duct tape bow tie (that WE made) in our pit with your number on it will actually make us want to text you? Very VERY rarely. Just come talk to us. Most robotics girls are very nice. We don't byte. (LOL I MADE A PUN) Come to the pit when we aren't in full chaos mode and ask us questions about our robot. Tell us its pretty. We like hearing that its pretty. THATS IT. Done. Check in later in the competition, if we are doing well be happy, if we are doing poorly be sad. This isn't rocket science.

You can figure it out from there, just know that 99% of the anonymous numbers get put into the trash. So don't do it.

Sincerely, Every Single Robotics Girl in the Universe.

She probably doesn't know either.

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

Nobody got hit on this season?

I don't really have a story from this season, but I did ask to take a picture of a team's robot for scouting this weekend at SVR, and their female mentor shouted, "EVERYBODY CALM DOWN, IT'S JUST A FEMALE" and their entire pit crew was mortified. (They were actually ignoring me, so at least that got their attention). I was looking through a couple of past pages of the thread, and it was really cool to see how much I've grown from having a friendcrush on Mr. Mustache from 118. Or how much I've not grown considering I still have a friendcrush on almost everyone in FIRST. (Ya'll are all so inspiring, I just can't help it)

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

This must be the reason everyone hates aerial assist. Good job GDC, now everyone's on a dry spell.

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

A couple of my students got asked out for a blind date in Duluth this year - A team was setting up blind dates in order to "increase the coopertition" at the event!

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

At one regional I had a guy come up to me and start talking to me casually, and then he was just like "I know I just met you, but would you mind if I asked for your number?" but we had hardly talked and he was acting really weird so i said "uhm I dont really know you, we've hardly even talked" (we had been talking for like 5 minutes) then he was just like "I know, this is crazy" and basically at that point i was just like no, leave. (I just met you... this is crazy..)
this probably works better under "worst pickup lines"

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

My freshman year (2009) my friend and i were walking through the pits collecting buttons when this one guy shouted out to us that his robot was invisible. (it was actually just queued) We walked over to humor the guy and joke about how it was a good strategy to make it invisible, and he stopped mid-sentence to tell me i have beautiful eyes. I was wearing safety glasses. He kept trying to follow us around the pits for the rest of the competition.

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

Because we are the Flaming Monkeys, the girls on our team wear skirts with flames on them at competition. At Midwest this year a guy came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder and said "Your skirt is just like my mixtape, on fire" while looking me straight in the eyes. Then he ran off.

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

This post from 2009 sums it up -- this is exactly how I feel as the drive coach and programmer. How do you all get time to use these cheesy pickup lines?

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

I've heard the same one SEVERAL times. It's always either, "Hey! My friend over there likes you!" or, " Well, you should look me up on Facebook. WE could be great friends, or something".:yikes:

I just went back to page 20ish and read some of the comments from 2003. Did grammar not exist back then?

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

What was her name?

So as many of you know teams give out lots of buttons. Someone on my team received a button with a phone number on it. Happened a few times.

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

I received this card while wandering around in the pits at Champs:

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

I know that plenty of people were writing their numbers on paper airplanes and chucking them off the upper levels of seating... :p

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

:confused: I'm not a girl, but I was with my friend when this happened. My female friend and two of my guy friends were standing in a tight circle talking. This guy walks up and kind of pushes his way in and says "Excuse me, you've chained up my love. Can I have it back?" We all had no idea what was going on and just looked at him continuously saying "what?". Finally he pointed at our shirts and said "cuz you're a bulldog..." and then walked away. We just stared in awe while feeling rather sorry for him.

I actually tried the famous
"hey girl, are you on 67? Because you're hot"...
Made her smile :)
