i'd have to agree with that.. that'd catch my attention.

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

Just for fun, I threw around some stuff along the lines of, "Hi. I'm Mark. My two favorite things are commitment and changing myself.", or "Hello, I'm cute. Who might you be?" All I was expecting were some odd stares in my direction, which usually happens anyway, because I'm odd....and lonely.....(ow, my pride hurts).

Flagrant system error..... in favor of Strongbad!!!

Ack! I'm hurt... :( ... Hey, I'm cute! :cool: :cool:

I'm showing this post to Dale! Let's see how he takes it ;) .

Don't know what I am going to do at Atlanta when my BLATENTLY obvious and awesome driving skills cause mass hysteria. I let my actions do my talking.

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

hah, i was victim to having my picture taken with a few girls from elgin's team this year :p

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

well, I haven't gotten any lame pick up lines sent towards me..other than the classic "Wanna screw?(while holding out an actual screw)" one. but I know I myself have gone up to a guy and the first words to escape my lips were "You have really pretty hair *giggle*". :D

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

Yeah. That was pretty funny.

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

Well said. I agree with that...I had no intention of going into an engineering field or even anything relative to technology. Heck, up until recently I still favored the old method of writing letters rather than e-mailing. FIRST picked me up somewhere during my sophomore year and now I am considering it. Some people know exactly what they want to do when they get out of high school. I am not that fortunate. I am fortunate in that FIRST is offering me a glimpse before I make a commitment. So maybe I don't know how to program? But I will. Thank you M. Krass for putting into words what I have been trying to say for so long.

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

Ok, pickup line my friend was the recipient of at the Philly regional just a bit ago. It was her job to find our team some shrink wrap for our crate and was successful in getting some. When she went to return it to the person who lent it to her, he responded, "Since you borrowed our shrink wrap, you think I could borrow your number?" It took her a bit to figure out what he was referring to, her first reaction was it had something to do with her team number, but go figure it was an origional pickup line.

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

Teeheee! I didn't really get told anything at a regional. My general pickup line, though hardly desperate is "can I have a hug?". Simplicity in its essence! The best CD pickup line I ever got (sorta pickupline) is "I don't have a DDR shirt...can I borrow yours?" That was great...

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

simplicity....reminds of something my friend said, not very relevnat but cute

"short and sweet makes nice yrbook messages and girls"

though i dont agree, but it goes. :D

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

You sure got me with that line at Atlanta, a breezy era. ;)

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

You among others ;). Then the #521 robot guys asked me to hug their robot. Now that was a compliment in my eyes...

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

lol this post just never seems to die :D

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

Unless they're funny, pick-up lines are not a good thing (in my opinion at least). And Strong Bad rocks! :D

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

Dude, lame pick up lines rock my world, as long as the guy's not actually taking himself seriously. I'll admit it: I go for the goofy nutjobs.

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

When I said funny, I also meant so lame they're funny. I go for weird guys too :)

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

I'm a wierd guy :p

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

yay 4 wierd guys =P (me being one myself)

i had an awsome pickup line (i think) and a few on my team thought i should have done it... but i didnt think of it until lunch on sat... and the finals were hectic... so ... jsut wait till offseason =P

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

This might be on here already, but...

This was said to a friend of mine at the Detroit regional this year.
"I'll be your human player..."

A couple friends and I decided that the turn down line needs to be "Sorry, but it's autonomous mode...hands off" :p

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

I've got a bit of a funny story. At Nat's I had a guy come up to our pit & ask if we had any buttons to trade. Our driver, John, said we were out. So the guy puts his arm around me & says "well I'll just take her instead." John laughed like hell. I just felt awkward.

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

great turn down line A+ :D

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

Ok, this isn't really a pickup line... It's more of a "compliment gone wrong" So 1am Sunday morning after Championships, I'm in the Mezzanine of our Fabulous hotel (or... not) with one guy from my team and like 3 guys from another team. As MANY of you may recall, one of the teams (was it 79?) had basket balls or something stuffed up their shirts. One of the guys on the other team says "Yeah, they had huge jugs, but they didn't look that great." I was just thinking 'ok, whatever...' When this guy turns to me and says, "Oh, you've got nice jugs though"

So what do you think? Compliment gone wrong???

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

i'm on team 433, and this guy went up to my friend n said, "will u sign my shirt?" n she signed it... that was interesting :D

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

So my team is from Philly area and we forgot our plastic wrap at a competition so my friend asks another team for their wrap, a little while later after everything is all packed up some guy comes up to my friend and says "Can I borrow your number since I let you borrow my plastic wrap."

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

Well, not many guys really talk to me, just the weird ones not the cute ones though. There was this really annoying guy that kept on bothering me while I was trying to scout though.

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

at the canadian regional, i was handing out bracelets and buttons for my team. because the bracelets were not made out of stretchy elastic, (they were gimp - its cheaper), the bracelets came in all different sizes. the guy asked me for a bracelet (though i had already given him like 10) but i didnt have any that could fit his hands. and so he goes "thats all right, how about instead of you giving me a bracelet, i take you out to dinner?"

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

And who was that? Steven?

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

everytime i end up going to a competition i always find some guy thats madly in love with me lol...usually i have guys following me around at every competition i've gone to..and i ended up "dating" one of the guys that i met at the Philly Regional in 2003 i think it was..but yea so i've definatly heard my share of lame pickup lines from guys lol :yikes:

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

I laughed a lot reading that. But you have to give credit to all those who had the courage to embarass them selves (LMAO). i could never do that. Thanks for the laughs. now... back to topic....

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

fist off, i'm a guy, i'm just sayin' what pick-up line I'll be using just so you can be prepared:

*I put hand on shoulder closest to me* "If you were a pirate, would you rather have your parrot here," *I shift my hand so it's around their shoulders* "or here?"

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

i want to hear more stories about this. this is fun.

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

i wish i could have my picture taken with pretty girls.

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

Here's a line I got:
"I’m a systems engineer, which system would you like to test first?"

Actually, when I was a rookie in FIRST I realized that at Regional competitions there were a good number of relatively good-looking & smart guys present (way higher percentage than in a typical high school). So, I learned my networking skills by approaching guys and starting conversations. Now, most of my relationships have been with FIRST guys. I have tried to make a ruling: No more FIRST guys! But it never works. We just have too much in common...

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

This one guy from another team last year came up to me... it was actually really gross... and asked me if i would help him play with his balls. It was so gross... needless to say some guys on first are just icky.

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

I've never been to a FIRST comp. No one has ever tried to "pick me up". Until track regionals last year, nobody had ever told me I was hot (a couple of my guy friends signed my yearbook, but I think they were just trying to be nice). Geez, it hurts when guys talk about "cute" girls. I'm a very shy person and I would have the hardest time trying to start a conversation with a guy, though I did give this dude (that I have a major crush on) a handmade Valentine card (which he loved!!!, I think...). If you have any pointers, PLEASE tell ASAP!!


Sorry so long.

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

Ohhhh trust me, I know how you're feeling. I have changed so much since high school (no guy had ever asked me out or got near me in high school)... and FIRST is the reason for all that change. No guys really approached me at FIRST Regionals either; it was I who had to learn the art of walking up to them, starting a conversation with them about their robot, and let it go from there (boy, did that usually work too! :) ). It's a skill that has evolved into an ability to talk to VIPs and getting them interested in FIRST.

In addition, I've noticed that guys usually talk ABOUT "cute" girls but they don't talk TO them. Us enginerd girls are far too interesting for them to pass up ;) . Nevertheless, If the guy would prefer the "cute" one, then they are not my type anyway.

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

lalala- being "hot" and being the cutest girl shouldnt be all wht guys want. It should be about personality and acting yourself around guys. Thats was very awsome and a very great idea that you made the handmade valentine card for your crush. Thats being yourself and tahts what guys shoud look for, or hopefully. Dont be scared to talk to guys, just be yourself and itll all be good. If you have trouble starting up a conversation with a guy..ask him anything...liek if hes in a sport ask him about that and how its going. Or just in general like Hey Whats up..Hows it going...hows your day. Im a very talkative person and very random as sum people tell me so i just talk about butterflies or llamas sumtimes to any one even if its a guy in my class thats cute...hell just laugh and start talking to me about llamas or butterflies!


As far as getting pick up lines go...all them are cheesy...i havent really had any at robotics competetions...but in gymnastics class when guys are in there working out with us theyll just act stupid and try to hit on me with stupid cheesy pick up lines that i just laugh histercally at for like 15 seconds then get back to wht i was doing and pretend they hadn't talk to me. lol

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

not to sound really stupid, but are there any good pick up lines out there?

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

If there are any good pick ups, let me know. i could take any from guys or girls

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

my suggestion: skip the pick up line and just talk.

i find pick-up lines a turnoff because it just makes me wonder how much that line was used - not cool. i'm less likely to respond to a "hey girl *insert cheesy line*" then a "hey, i'm from *blank*, is that your robot?"

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

hahaha .. but at the same time .. a guy with the guts to use a FUNNY pick up line (yes must be funny) is worth talking to for some time because you know he has to be somewhat interesting .... maybe not to go out with though

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

yes i'll give you that. i'm definitely a sucker for a sense of humor. if you can make me laugh, you got +2 cool points right there. perhaps a pickup line so-cheesy-it's-sad would make me laugh. just as long as it's not the "ey gurrrrl". reminds me of those *insertword* ppl who honk at you when you are desperately trying to get home.

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

i was seeing how people would react :rolleyes: ( was kinda of serious)

anyway, i really dont use pickups. they dont make any sense.

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

guys who come up to me that are sweet and funny, not ones that act like morons, will get my attention.

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

i wonder if people think im sweet and funny. :D

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

well you'll just have to wait and find out won't you

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

<psst.. Guys.. learn from these strange collection of words these females speak. When you are able to get inside their heads, you will either A) Learn a lot, and learn how to talk to them and thus lead to a relationship and/or a life long friendship, or.. B) Learn way to much, and end up running away screaming. - Either way, it'll be a learning experience. And if you learn nothing else in FIRST, at least learn how to interact socially. Because, even if you don't go into a Science, Technology, or Engineering career (as is the whole (original) basis if FIRST) when you grow up, you will still need to know how to socially interact.>

:cool: Trust me.

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

guess i will have to wait and find out... :o

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

It's so funny u said that cause thats exactly what i am doing (B) taking to much in and running away it is amazing that somepeople would do stuff like this i have never used a pick up line in all the years i have been dating just the girls(not to sound big headed ) come to me for some odd reason. Travis

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

and number 2 it is amazing that this thread has been going for 3 years notice first date on the beginning of the thread. Travis

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

OMG! This thread is still going? Geez, the last time I checked was in 2003. whoa.....

I haven't had any learn-too-much-and-run-away-screaming experiences with any girl that I've ever talked to. The key is to have patience, gotta always listen to what they have to say.

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

Here is one I'd suggest using:

"Is your name Gillette? Because you look like the best a man can get!"

--Petey

Re: don't go onesided either.....
 

omg boys are so terrible at the competitions.they can be very iritating. one time these guys(i wont say any names)followed me and my best friend around the OCCRA competition all day.they were the biggest pains.but besides irritating boys at competitions i really enjoy being there.its a lot of fun and you meet some really great people.im really looking forward to my teams first event.im sure i will meet some cool people.hopefully i wont get harassed this year.LOL!!

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

okay, this happened to my pit-mate at buckeye this weekend:

while scouting, a guy asks for her name (which was acceptable and expected) and then goes "question number 15, whats your number?"
the sad part was, she gave it to him :rolleyes:

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

The following content is taken from the Friarbot.com stories page. I wasn't on the team when it happened, but by all accounts it was quite horrifying. See for yourself.

The following is a sad, sad story about Dan Pall's attempt at a pickup line at the 2003 Chesapeake Regional, related to us by Dan himself.

At FIRST Regional Competitions, certain teams are known to send around the cool, hip members of their teams on activities I like to call "spy runs." A spy run entails these cool people walking from table to table and prying scouting information about other teams' robots out of their competing teams. Of course, we Malvern roboticists are always happy to provide information in the spirit of Gracious Professionalism. Sometimes, though, we like to have a little fun...as evidenced by this exchange which took place at the 2003 Annapolis Regional with a couple of female scouts from another, nameless team...

Female Scout #1: So, can you tell us what your robot does?
THE John Kelly (speaking like a redneck) : Well, this here bot uses two drill motors to drive four same-size wheels. Each motor runs a shaft on each side of the bot; we go fast and we go straight. We herd boxes using this here cow prod, and we lay down the law, girls.
Female Scout #2: Um...that's nice. I guess (sideways look at her friend). Anyway, how fast does your robot go at max speed?"
Dan Pall: Well, girls, let's just say this: if you hear a sonic boom...that's our robot. (winks at Female Scout #2, who proceeds to glance at her friend, giggle a bit, and then run like a bat out of hell)

With this incredibly dorky attempt at a pick-up line, Dan Pall became one of the dorkiest geek-nerds in the history of nerd-dom. Several onlookers, including the late, great Alex Raynor, died of shock and awe on the spot, after viewing this pithy attempt to woo a woman. Attempts to measure his level of nerdity resulted in infinite readings on the patented Dork-O-Meter 6000. Attempts to charm girls since this fiasco have resulted in slaps to the face far too numerous to count.

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

Well, at least he had the courage to try, and isn't that what counts?

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

at the NYC regional this year a bunch of us(actually just me and a programmer) decided that we were going to pick up a girl for one of the guys on the team. We actually got a girl on team 334 interested in him but when she came over to our pit he ran away.

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

I've never actually had a pickup line used on me at a competition, but that'd be cute. I think it would make my day. I know that at least with me, if you use a cheesy pickup line, but know its cheesy, thats really cute and a good starter.

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

Oh ew, I got one from some dude on a rookie team.

I was trying to tell everyone about VIP tours, because we needed people to give them at Chesapeake. So I was telling RAGE and this rookie team about it...and this guy looked up and said "Hey, where is the meeting being held?"
I pointed behind me at the table and said "Over there."
He said "I don't know that I'll be able to find it."
I said "You'll find your way don't worry."
He looked at me with this coy smile and said "Well, can I have your number just in case?"

Oy. >_<;

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

I'm just curious if anyone has ever tried this (as it seems so obvious): "You wanna be my alliance partner." Anyone who says that to me or one of my teammates in Atlanta gets a (theoretical and purely non-tangible) cookie :)

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

Thats too bad but dont worry i will be at nationals. :cool:

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

I can get a cookie? SWEET!! wait... they're not real? FALSE ADVERTISING!!!! I had this person on team 229 who said his nickname was "Bubba." give me a sheet of paper with his phone number and address on it and then he actually did say, "You want to be my alliance partner?" I could've thrown him out the nearest window if they weren't on ground level at the Buckeye Regional... :ahh:

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

Okay, if someone actually tries it on me...I'll see if there's somewhere at the site where I can buy them the cookie (a real one)

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

I think its sometimes cute and funny when guys try to use there wierd unusual pickup lines to try to get girls. They might be really lame but hey..their trying lol

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

That happened to everyone on my team.. he actually took the time to type, print, AND cut them up! His name, nickname, team, adresses, and number... *shakes head* pitiful

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

Haha. Actually. I've got a couple stories. ^^;

I was surfing chiefdelphi (go figure) at VCU competition this year, when a guy (I've forgotten his name by now!) just randomly came and sat with me at our pit. We talked for a little bit, and he invited me to go shoot some pool. XD I didn't think they had pool tables at the Siegel Center.

Heh, and another guy from a pit across from us just came up and poked me in the shoulder. He actually pushed me around and kicked me once or twice during competition. He was a complete jerk though. -shakes head-

Weren't really pickup lines, but sad stories of lame guys. x.x

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

I don't use pick up lines...Although I've had a lot of girls just ask to take pictures of me at competitions...must be the painted face and blue, red, and yellow hair.

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

I am stunned on how this thread is 52 pgs long.

But it was pretty funny last year when some of our guys on our team at VCU handed out these certificates with their names and numbers. They said "Congratulations on being one of the hottest girls at a robotics competition ever".

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

The best pick-up line from team 1511.

Hey there beautiful wanna see how bi my leadscrew is?

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

[FONT=Comic Sans MS]look at the bright side girls, all we guys want is to give u attention, maybe it's the wrong kind of attention but still, :) :cool: plus in the end all we want to do is have some fun at the competition because it can indeed get pretty boring, we all just wana hang out ;) [/font]

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

:p Of course, Competitions get boring, but that doesn't mean you have to be be corny. ;)

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

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

good point, some dudes can really be pricks, but some can be nice so don't get it to your head that every dude that gives u the stupidest line u've ever heard cuz they are loosers, some can be cool with u :cool:

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

Well about pick up lines that I've use on guys. I was volunteering at the WMR, I took a year off from being on a team, and a bunch of guys from team 66 come up to pit support and they ask, "Who would we talk to if we want to go on the field and dance to this song call "The Time Warp" from the..." and I reply "Rocky Horror Picture Show!" I give them the info, and say, "Now you should be able to, but only under one condition, you have to let me do it with you." We went out between qualifying and finals, and danced to the song. Afterwards I gave my number to the guy who was the one that asked, he was pretty cute, smart, obviously outgoing and everything else. I ended up going out to lunch with the team, and I've been dating the guy for a little while now. ;)

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

GAH!! I adore RHPS!!

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

at nationals this year: "Is your father a gardener? Because you grew up to be a beautiful flower!" Haha, no names, but that made me laugh.

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

Hehehe... I was going to post my story about the chewie mascot and the running away bit, but it seems like someone beat me to my own tale.

So that's what was occuring on the other side...

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

Yeah, so my boy students definately used the sumo suit to pick up girls this year. The worst part? Andy got two phone numbers out of it, Kyle got one or two... Girls, don't give your phone number to guys wearing sumo suits. Never a smart plan...

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

anybody handed out the rejection hotline as their phone number?

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

Some one on MOE got one,not me , it was really funny to.

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

i think i should keep the number for that handy. at the new jersey regional i was asked for my number so many times it became a running joke with quite a few people. it even went so far as for the times when i was asked to be labeled "awkward moment #1" and so on.. though this was halfway through the day on.. friday? i think?... after i was asked about three times in ten minutes.. so i think i only hit about 8 awkward moments. was interesting though. most of the time it was pretty straightforward, or after i'd been talking to someone for awhile, but i did get one that came over, started asking random questions about my team's bot... then in the middle of a question.. "okay so the real reason i came over here is because i think you're hot. can i have your number?". got a good laugh out of that one. let's see... random people that came up to me from one team saying this one kid on the team thought i was hot and wanted my number. i said tell him to come over himself and he could have it. a few minutes later another kid from the team walks over, "i'm sorry they told you i wanted your number, it was a dare between my friend and i,...::explains situation::. so we and the group of people i was standing with talk to the kid for a few minutes, and as he's leaving.. so, even though i didn't come over here for your number... you're really cute, and seem really cool... so can i have it anyway?" so i gave it to him, he walked back to his team, who'd been staring the entire time.. came back to talk a few minutes later. some kid from his team randomly walks by and yells "when you get a minute, tell me how you managed to get her number." lol, so random. i also had a cheering section on this one team (i was HP this year).. eventually walked over and asked how they knew my name, started talking to them.. they were pretty cool too. i apparently also had a fan club consisting of various guys from multiple teams, never caught a glimpse of them though.. they approached one of my teammates to ask about me. i also introduced myself to a few guys, from being bored, or whatever else... i still talk to most of them.

at nationals while walking through the pits with a friend from another team... a team mascot randomly ran over and gave me a hug. they had another person with them, who asked if i wanted my picture taken with the mascot. i consented, but it was a bit strange. what else to expect from FIRST though? =p. i got a few comments about my team's cart, which i was driving for awhile (basically a big box attached to a motor scooter type thing.. we're lazy and didn't want to have to push the bot)..but i don't recall what they were. oyy... i was asked to sign random items.. was lei-ed at least 4 times, and stopped and given random buttons and memorabilia from teams... idk. i'm sure i'm forgetting some interesting incidents. i have to say i've made quite a few new friends this year, and i'm glad to still be in touch with the majority of them =).

YOU. CARLY. LAST YEAR. ANNAPOLIS. yeah i remeber you and a few other girls in our hotel room at the radisson. we were playing halo and we are all just sitting around. then you went to take a shower and came back with just a towel on. it was weird because you or no one else said anything. i thought it was the coolest thing ever.

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

i got one of the old ones used on me,

it was at LA regional last year, and it was team 22 and 188 cheering, and we got really warm cause it was beginning to crowd.. so one of the guys on our team started fanning the girls with a poster. this one guy from another team stood next to me and said, "is it hot in here, or is it just because im standing next to you?". it was soo cheesy!!

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

This is such a great thread.....A pickup line I came up with the other day was.
"I'm like a mastercard...everything you need"
lol
I find that just being yourself is always good....don't try to be something your not.

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

well mines kind of the opposite... at work friday this guy was hitting on me and somehow I ended up talking about FIRST and it turns out his school's starting a rookie team this year... how ironic!

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

well, not at a competition, buuut... me and alicia (looneylin) were at the mall the other day...

guy: can i help you?

me: we're just looking, thanks

guy: i don't work here anyway.

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

i got some funny one's i have heard. ((by the way it is great down here at ramp riot)thanks miss daisy)
For A girl"Is that a bannana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
For A guy"Do you have a mirror in your pocket" Girl replies"no why"guy replies because i can sure see me in your pants."

It's not any like anyone from 306 sophmore or higher needs a pickup line!!!!
:rolleyes: :D :rolleyes:

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

Never thought I'd hear a story that included me on CD, and I really can't believe this thread is still going!

bbc radio 1 here has an answerphone which you can give out the number for and they will play the funniest messages every day ... lol flirt divert they call it

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

lol since i noticed this thread was active the other day, i figured i'd post on it since i just thought of an incident from last year. this is from the jersey regional, and i apparently used a pickup line on a guy, not the other way around. i was actually talking to him about how we first met, because i'm still friends with him.. and i was like hey is that considered a pickup line? and he's like yes it iss. so yeah, the following: we were both human players for our teams, and really bored standing in queue. i was tired of standing, so i went and sat next to him (not close, just like.. same general area =p) on the table he was already sitting on. and since i'd noticed earlier in the day while watching a match that he was a great human player, i basically just said, "hey. you're a great human player." and we started talking. i ended up talking to him for awhile that day, and exchanging screen names with him, and like i said before, we still talk. i've only hung out with him once outside of robotics, since he lives like an hour and a half away, but he's a really cool kid, and always fun to talk to. so yeah, i'm not really sure what my point in this was when i started typing, but i think it was just that i'll have to agree with a lot of people that posted previously in saying that honesty is the easiest. just say what's on your mind, or a simple 'hi,' or something of the sort. never fails =).

note to reader: please excuse my terrible grammar in the above ridiculously long paragraph.

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

I resent that. I, as a girl, wanted to join Robotix because I want to become a computer engineer. Not all of us girls are like that. Maybe some, but not all.

About the holding the door thing. I hold doors for EVERYONE, and I'm a girl. Does that mean something? Like good or bad?

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

I have but i have a story behind it, it was as heart-less as many people expect it to be. Im in my jr year and this male has been asking me out at least once a month since my freshman year. Last week he asked my for my diggits and said that he'd be joining robotics just to be with me.

As for pick up lines from robotics guys , I havent gotten any yet but I've had like half the team tell me they like me.

"I was thinking, and I realized something... If you were a burger at McDonalsd's, you'd be the McHottie"

No idea if that'd result in a shutdown or not, but I thought I might as well share it...

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

Suprisingly I have never been given actual pick up lines yet from random robotics guys.
I still get random numbers tho :rolls eyes:

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

Actually... in Cleveland, it was my sister getting guy's e-mails and phone numbers. Not the other way around.

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

Not a pick-up line, but two years ago at the National competition, I started talking to this guy who sat a few rows in front of me in the stands. Two hours later, he'd confessed his love for me, and I was like, "??!!!?!?!?!!??!?!" The worst part was that I'd given him my e-mail address *before* he confessed, so after I came back home, the "Confessions of True Love" e-mails started coming... Yeah. Thankfully, they've stopped by now.

Last year at the Sacramento Regional, I was going around and talking to other teams' animators and got onto pretty good terms with one guy who thankfully didn't have 'yellow fever' (I quote a friend here) and treated me to a sandwich lunch. ...I'm a sucker for free food. :D

I'm not all that popular at school... Maybe it's because of the imbalance of guy-girl ratio at the competition that's causing attraction? It'd be entertaining to continue the "one guy per comp" trend, but my conscience suggests otherwise. ;)

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

Some of those lines are terriblew, I hope to nevr have to say anything that stupid, but then again, that may be why i've never had a girlfriend, haha.

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

Who needs lame pickup lines when you can just stalk your own team members? Don't need to worry about that long-distance stuff, either.

-snickers-

Though, I wonder, what percent of the robotics populace has had a girlfriend or boyfriend and kept them longer then a month? -wonders how you are even supposed to manage a girl/boyfriend and robotics at the same time, as the two both take up the same timeslots-
