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

Ah, the classic newbie question. See, the boyfriend/girlfriend IS the robot. :D

and just to be on the safe side, I'll add a "j/k" to that.

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

Queen_of_Mascot, you might be surprised to find out that there are people in robotics that have gfs/bfs and have great relationships.

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

A good pickup line would be the generic "Hi, how are you?" as long as it's said when the girl is not busily working on the robot...

And the other option is to date a member of your robotics team, which I have been doing for the past two years; we confessed to each other at the National competition in 2004 and have been together ever since. Hey, FIRST can be beneficial to your love life! :D

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

a guy on my robotics team said" hey, you look hot... want to meet your match?" him and i are awesome friends... but... he and i goof around ALOT :p

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

WOW! i found out that my ex liked me (along with the team presedents little brother...)at the BEST competition this fall we dated for like three months... then then i found out he was only on the team becaus ei was there... so... i can't be with someone who doesn't at least care a wee bit about the brain of a team.. not just the body of whos in it...

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

Yeah and she also flirted her way into getting us picked at alliance pairings. lol. She told me that i have to take over on that part now. she's weird dude.

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

And that is the reason I didn't complain much when a guy on my FIRST team and I made a bet for me to stay single until shipdate. 31 days to go...I'm kinda happy its not too far off anymore cuase we made this bet like 3 months ago when me and my bf broke up but then again. OMG SHIPDATE is in 31 days!! :eek:

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

lame but oh so sweet pick up line was "how can a girl look so beautiful but know so much about computers and robots? you are the rarest thing i have ever met... can i catch you?" :D

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

ok here's two incredibly lame pickup lines from a guy on our team (Alex Hughes, delphi name: Excelsior).

1) I wish I were a derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves.
2) I wish I were an integral so I could fill the area beneath your curves.

Feel free to direct your comments to him directly :D

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

I'm one of those shy guys but I saw this girl there and my buddies found out I'm interested in her so they wrote on a piece of paper my name, my e-mail and my number on it and to who it is and taped to the robot and during the competition the MC read out my name and asked me to come forward LOL....i came backwards aka ran the heck out of the stadium

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

I'm definatly a shy person, I can't talk to girls at all. Yes, I am a faliure.

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

'sometime during build season'

"i just wanted to say your really pretty." (5 seconds later) "So what is your robot design this year?"

bahhh lol

-Court-

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

"r u tired? cause u been running through my mind all day."

walk up to her with a cup of ice pull out a piece drop it on the ground and step on it. then say "now that we've broken the ice how bout we get onto the next step."

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

Never seen anything like this, or done it at a competition. Then again, I've only been to one. So yeah...

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

I wasn't even aware that anything remotely romantic was going on at regionals. Must be my total lack of girl knowledge. I'm only shy around people I dont know, and I've never been on a date so I'm one of those afraid of rejection. How bout

Are you Jamaican because jamakin me crazy.
I heard some other geek ones but they are really dirty. Just enough to say they involve software, floppy disks, and paper copies.

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

Is everyone ready for regionals? Who all is going to be in Houston, their predicting some majorly lame pickup lines.

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

Couple things i'm still confused about.

Whats with the whole lei for the pineapple? I'm so confused.

neb84 i'll be at the NY regionall so thats someone you can meet

ziptie flowers are the coolest i gave one to my friend on v day. quite easy to make if i can get a pic ill put it up

so after finishing this entire thread (took me a week but oh well) couple more questions
Any one going to be at NY this year 06? Names Nathan bixler. I want to meet some other people at regionals becuase i didn't last year.

I can't believe some guys are so crude, and i'm a guy myself. And another question, does anyone actually use pickup lines seirously????

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

I don't use pickuplines, I've never used any like except, "I think your pretty" I don't use the word hot, its too degrading i think. that may also explain why ive never had a g.f, or gone on a dte, or anyone likeing me, haha.

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

Personally i'm not fond of pickup lines, so good for you for not using them. :) And yes, i agree that the word "Hot" seems degrading. I'd never use that to describe anyone, whether it be a boy or girl, and i doubt that has anything to do with people liking you or you going on a date.


I've never really gotten any true 'pickup lines' at a competition, but since i tend to run around painted pink with a pink bikini top on with a couple of other girls and guys, we tend to get quite a bit of attention and lots of inquiries about "Hey can we take a picture with you?" I've gotten buttons and business cards and all the like, but i'd have to say that the most effective way to "pick up" a girl (if thats what you're interested in) is to just walk up to her and introduce yourself and start talking. Or you could just randomly join in a game of limbo or twister (the latter can work pretty well to break the ice) to meet new people. Just dont be afraid to say hi, and dont worry about acting stupid or dorky in front of a girl. Chances are, she'll probably think you're cute because of it. :) Actually, wear a "Free Hugs" sign, and you'll be surprised at how many hugs you get.

yep... romantic stuff happens at regionals, and i dont think that has anything to do with lack or acquisition of "girl knowledge". i actually know of a couple of people (myself included) who have met their significant others through robotics somehow. :cool: Being at a Regional gives you plenty to talk about with a girl who's there (since often times i hear that boys never know what to say when they're with a girl)... the only downside is that if you meet someone from another team, theres a pretty likely chance that they live pretty far away from you... whether its across the state or across the nation. Just keep that in mind ;)

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

By lack of girl knowledge i was refering to my shyness and unability to force myself to talk to girls.

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

I'm not a girl, nor was I hit on by some guy, but a girl on my team last year was hit on at the Buckeye Regional

Guy: Hey do you like my truck? (it was a little powerwheels truck a team used to cart their robot to the field)
Girl: That's yours?
Guy: Yeah, it gets good gas mileage... just kidding we charge it
Girl: Okay...
Guy: So... you doing anything later tonight?
Girl: Yeah.. right!

And she walked off.

On top of that, she was a senior and he looked to be way younger than that.

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

well im a guy but here is one of the lames lines i have heard a guy say....

"so how was your build season?"

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

I'm sorry in advance, please don't be to harsh with my rep box :o ...


"Hey, Are you tired of running? 'Cuz I like your cans."

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

What do cans have to do with running?

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

Dunno, but I didn't meet anyone this weekend, I hope I will in Maryland.

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

our team stinks cuz we have apsolutly No girls on it. which is pretty sad considering were the only team from Vermont.:yikes:

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

We were handing out doughnuts at Phoenix and me and my friend Katie went to the Canadian team. This one guy got the last one, and I asked him if he wanted the box (people wanted the boxes) and he said ,"No, but your number would help!" I told him I was taken, and Katie just burst out laughing!

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

"Your team is amazing and so are your eyes"

^that was an interesting one. But seriously, pickup lines can be funny and cute if done right...but just walking up to a girl and talking to her is an awesome way to get to know somebody. Guys, don't be scared to talk to a girl because shes going to talk back most of the time. and if she doesn't...then when are you ever going to see her again?

If your going to West Michigan regional or atlanta, then you can come talk to me :D if you want to so at least thats one girl you can talk to without being afraid!

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

I successfully made it past the Pacific Northwest Regional without being approached by any guy... Phew! Next up is the Davis-Sacramento Regional, and I hope that no one tries to flirt with me (like last year) again. At least one of my teammates will be crossdressing there; I can't wait to see what happens! ^_^

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

Well...this wasn't really a pick up line...but it was funny.

A friend of mine were walking around in the Pit Area at the Nats. last year -- a guy [I think he was his team's mascot...] approached my friend and I and said something like 'wanna give a dog a hug??' or something to that liking...it was funny, and pretty cute so we were like 'aww' and hugged him. We got a good laugh out of it...but it was pretty cute.

Haven't really had anyone else approach me...kinda hard because I'm almost always in my team's pit area...OR...maybe they're just...scared, because I'm one of the two girls on my robotics build team...

I agree with prettycolors91 -- pickup lines can be cute if done the right way. AND the best way to approach a girl IS to just talk to her. Especially the ones in robotics -- they're way cooler [and nicer...] than the other girls! I'm pretty easy going and wouldn't go run to one of the guys on the team if a guy were to approach me.

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

heh the funniest 2 appropriate ones i've ever heard at competition were.

" Hey hun you can chill with me cuz I'm duh Human playa. "

or

:: Guy walks up sheepishly ::

Guy- " Is that a watch. "
Girl- " Yes? "
Guy-" Ahh.... My friend has a watch. "



heh pickup lines are funny and even tho they are pointless and puerile often both parties involved get a laugh.

" Your really pretty and I like your bot. " always gets a double take too lol.

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

this one is pretty bad but it might work
"I only have three months to live."

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

If any guy used "I have three months to live" as a pickup line I'd hit him...thats not cool.

But...I must admit..."Your really pretty and I like your bot" Is a good one...I know it would work on me.

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

It's sad when they don't even use pick up lines... just recently for me I've heard, can I have your number? ten minutes later, you know you can call me anytime you want...
Funniest, I think, was getting hit on in Latin (as in the language) by a guy who stickey noted his email to my back... that was great...

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

haha when did that happen?

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

Just recently :D (I'll IM you meg)

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

Well, I can't say I've ever had a pick-up line used on me, but I've had plenty of looks and eyes made at me during competitions. Then again, maybe those looks were because they boys thought I was crazy. This little 5 foot 1 inch girl running around with pink and lime green hair, yelling and screaming and dancing to music with tools hanging out of every pocket...it gets some strange looks.

Anyway, I will say that my first boyfriend got me into robotics. He hated it, I loved it. He quit before the end of his first year and I said bye bye to him and stuck around robotics. My second boyfriend was a product of robotics, and when I told him to get lost, he seemed to lose his love of robotics. It was around that time that I had two dating offers from other boys on my team. I turned them both down, and third time being the charm, accepted my third offer. He's still my boyfriend today, over a year later, and we are happy together, and he even mentors for my team while I run it as president.

Guess you could say I just can't get enough of robotics, and the robo boys can't get enough of me! I find it all amusing. :D

I don't think I permanently damaged any of the boys on my team...but a few of them did require some small tweeks in their programming so I could keep them away from me long enough to get my work done. ;)

It's great to be a FIRST girl!

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

One of our guys taped his email on some battery before handing it back.

I'm wondering if he'll recieve anything.

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

I love this thread. My first regional (LSR) started thurs and im a rookie and I know what to say and what not due to this thread... Anyways I started with, "Hey, im Pavan, Welcome to LoneStar, What's your name?"....Says name..."Would you like to go...?" and as soon as i was gonna say "...catch a match?" some guy from another team came up and I was bummed until I saw my team's bot perform with some frineds of mine. :)

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

I have a girlfriend and don't use pick up lines cause they are corny but i liek to share teh ones i know with everyone and my favorite is
"are your parents retarded?"
she then says no why
"cause your one special lady"
yeah i love it

well we came up with a funny one, even though it hasn't happened...

Can I get your dimensions?
....

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

Ok you guys want Lame, Two guys had t-shirts that said "Put your name and phone number on here" and had permanat markers, one girl put on it though "Cinderella, 1-800-you-wish"

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

Ok, so most of us gals have had someone try a corny pickup line on us, but i'm wondering how many have had stalkers? I had two stalkers on myspace...and my friend had a real stalker at the philly regionals (as in a guy that wouldn't leave her alone even though she has a boyfriend!)
:D

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

we have a few "stalkers" on our team. (ahem, any girl from 1038 can verify this) all the girls have had at least one stalker, and a few of the guys have been subjects for the stalkers. it's kinda creepy, but a swift kick somewhere will work wonders.

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

Normal "I like you" actions or comments in a persistent way does not really strike me as stalking. You might want to talk a look at the Wikipedia article on stalking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalking. Someone might, in fact, have been stalking you and your teammates, but it seems far more likely to me to be normal "I like you and want you to pay attention to me" behavior. Just because you have to tell a guy "no" ten times, doesn't mean it's stalking. (Heck, there was this one girl I pursued with mixed luck for a year before she really got with the program. We have now been married 27 years...) I am not minimizing genuinely dangerous behavior -- just suggesting that we be careful to differentiate between normal attraction and creepy, psychologically defective stalking.

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

In a professional environment, however, it most certainly is sexual harassment. The rule of thumb as I've been told is that you're allowed one pass at someone, for better or for worse. If they turn you down, any further pursuit can be construed as harassment.

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

Oh geez, its that time of the year again, when us girls in robotics have to be hit on with cheesy robotics pick up lines.... : ]




the most awkward one that ive gotten so far this season was from someone in a Tiger mascot suit. I was going up the escalator near him and he was like, "Do you wanna pet the kitty? Im the only one!"



i walked away... very very quickly. lol

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

actually none of them ever ask the girl..or guy in certain cases..out. they just follow you and sometimes one might think they are determined to do more. they're (all guys by the way) just creepy and you have no idea what they'll do next. it's taking the "i like you" to extreme.

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

I had a private message on this from a mentor who reminded me of something that we should all heed:

1. Treat each other with respect. This includes understanding that "no" means "no."

2. Having a crush on someone is a normal part of adolescent (and, dare I say, adult life). Taking "no" for an answer is the correct, mature response.

3. The rules are different in a professional environment than in life outside work. Trust me on this. Nothing will brand you as a loser faster than "hitting on" people at work.

4. If your mother wouldn't approve of your behavior, you shouldn't do it.

Thank you to the mentor who suggested that my comment might be misunderstood. I was trying to say that just because someone says, "Do you want to come over to our pit and see my engineering drawings?," doesn't necessarily mean that you are being stalked.

Amusing observation: I once worked for a 30-person software company that only had a couple of single, unattached women working there. Both of them usually had several visits a day from confused asocial programmers who didn't even seem to know why they were walking out of their way to say hi. As an old married guy, I thought it was kind of cute. (No, none of them ever did anything weird. They just seemed to understand in a sort of confused programmer way that girls and boys are different.) (Note: this anecdote is a humorous overstatement. Some of my best friends are software engineers who are every bit as socially sophisticated as the average 14-year-old boy.)

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

Yeah I've gotten a few other-team stalkers... ugh.

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

the best pick up line by far is when a girl stands near you and you really want to meet her but you don't even say hi to her....


bummer...oh well :)

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

I know I know I am not a girl... but I am tempted to post this already... its been over an year.

About an year ago I had the WORST pickup line used on me by this girl...

After using this line she started talking to me.

"Hey, You were suppose to post about me and after me... NOT before me."

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

Folks, keep in mind this actually worked.
Lesson: It isn't the "line" that works, it's the conversation.

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

"Do you wanna check out my robot while I check out you"

From Keith "I'm in charge of special functions"

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

ive never used line on a girl @ robotics, considering how few there are actually there, and i am usually too busy picking up the robot....ahem...... but at whenever my school goes to math team competitions its a good way to burn time. When my turn rolled around i used

"are you a derivative?, cause i'd like to get under your curves!"

ok so she was quite talkative for the rest of the meet but that was about it

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

Well most of girls that are at the robotics comps are a bit wacky. Most of the ones that i have met have been a bit odd and i wouldnt think twice about inviting them to my hotel. Although there are some extremely good looking females at the comps. Come visit me in team #1 Pit my name is corey come give me a shout.

Re: the door thing and a line (or two)
 

Well, it is nice when a guy holds open a door or something similar. In fact, chivalry would be nice to be lived again.

And on another note, i have meet some pretty decent guys at competitions. In fact I did get a pick up line which was actually really kind of cute:
"Well hello, you must be the third beautiful stooge, but by far the most beautiful one." The guy actually said it a couple of times throughtout the day. Made me feel a bit special.
We were at the Palmetto Regional and only had 3 girls from the team come. I was the only mechanical one, the other two were "S.O.A.P. Bubbles" or "S.O.A.P. girls". But, I was pulled into tattooing everyone, with on eof the other girls, Whitney. Yes, tattooing, but don't worry everyone, they are only temporary. It is now a tradition for us to go up to random people and say: "Hey, want a tattoo?" It actually I think, was taken as a pick up line a few times. Ah well, such is life. We will have plenty more for the Champsionship Event! lol

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

Well I don't know about the other girls, but if you don't like us the way we are, we probably won't like you either.

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

Facepaint Corey??

I've got some stories of guys on our team hitting on other girls. In 2004, one of our now alum had special interest in practically the entire 292 team in Chicago. In Atlanta, one of our members dropped a condom out of his wallet and jumped on it to hide it. He happened to be next to one of our louder and more humiliating team mates. Suffice it to say... he went back to the stands a little redfaced and everyone on the team new about it within the hour... including our bus driver.

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

Actually, your kinda right! Lol, most gals in robotics are indeed a tad wacky, but wacky isn't bad, it adds some flavor! Of course, i'm not speaking for all girls in robotics, just about girls i know or have seen...

This whole pick up line thing is strange, it seems like a lot of guys at robotics are scared of girls or something, well, not scared, but super shy! So far, I've had to blab for a while before they start talking, or maybe its just me... :D

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

I totally, uttererly and completely concur with that one, my friend. I have had the same thing happen to me a couple of times. Are guys scared of the girls in robotics? I mean, I understand my case, since I am on mechanical, and well, the guys on my team see me as an engineer, not female but not all guys are like that, are they?

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

Yeah this is the facepaint corey

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

It me again. Im not saying that your wacky in a bad way im just saying that your a bit odd but like someone said it just adds a little flava. Some of the girls that i met were really cool a little strange but overall werre pretty cool. ;) I am lookin forward to seein all the ladies again. Maybe you might get lucky and get a whirl with the dooley man. This is corey signing out... Peace!!!

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

walking back from the pits some guys just started whistling at me and my teammate, asking us to come back... that was rude
but I must say that the most successful 'pick up line' was, hey youre on chief delphi... :rolleyes:

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

Well, this was my first year in robotics, and wow...I was shocked at some of the lines that I heard.
One experience that happened to me at Championships was when I was just wandering around, looking at different team's robots and this guy comes up to me, and says

"Hey, so umm...my friend thinks you're hot, but he's too scared to talk to you in person...will you talk to him over this?" and hands a walkie-talkie to me.
I thought it was just the funniest thing in the world.

There were a few more pick-up lines that were used on me, just can't remember them at the moment. :(
However, I did meet this cool guy, and he didn't use any lines whatsoever, just started a regular conversation with me. And I ended up hanging out with him all three days, and we became pretty good friends.

I love how you can meet all kinds of new people just walking around, its so much fun. :D

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

I actually don't know if someone already mentioned this (this isn't my story: Im a guy but I watched it happen)

At the Nationals one guy and one girl were giving out free hugs. My friend and I both get hugs and my friend said to the girl: "if you give me a hug for free, what will you do if I gave you a dollar?" It was the single funniest thing I've heard all competition.

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

Me: is your team going to the party?
Guy: I don't know...they haven't decided yet. Where is it?
Me: Um...Centennial Park
Guy: Well...umm...
Me: What?
Guy: canihaveyourphonenumbersoicancallyouifwego?
Me: Huh?
Guy: can...ummm...i..umm...have your phone number?
Me: Sure! (I was almost laughing at this point)
Guy: Umm...thanks...umm...I have to go back to my pit...umm...bye...

It was adorable...he was incredibly sweet about it. But then I found out he was an eighth grader ( :eek: :yikes: :eek: ) and hes called me about a million times. *sigh* oh well at least hes not a creepy stalker...just a nice stalker...if that makes any sense at all...hmmm...

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

i agree totaly. but wat can we do about it?? :confused:

Re: the door thing and a line (or two)
 

Well I think that randomly walking up to people, slapping a tattoo on their face, and after doing it say "You've just been face raped" might seem a bit offensive to some, although the expressions we got from some guys were to die for.

Now thinking about it, I would have been pretty freaked out too if some random person came up to me and put something on my cheek with a wet napkin.

BTW...I was girl #3.

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

well i really dont use lines. i normally just come up and start a conversation. this would be my first year in robotics. and a nationals i herd some crazy stuff. but there was actualy one that happened to me and a friend. we were working in the pits on our robot wen 2 gurls from one of the temas(dont remember wich team) came up and asked abput r robot. then some how it started into a general conversation. that was my inlightenment fror the day. :D

Haha in Atlanta some guy came over to me and my friend and gave us a 'Redeem for One Kiss' ticket for some kissing booth...we were in a hurry though, so we didn't get to check it out...^^;

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

RoflCopter these are good. Bad thing is none of them work lol (Except freshman's).. at our regional I asked a girl about her robot and she told me and giggled and we talked and hung out for a while.. until my team needed me in the pits.

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

yeah it always sucks when they have to go back to their pits :(

Oh well....Hall of Fame duty got pretty crazy sometimes with guys, because the Chairman subteam manned it and it was ALL girls this year. All of them except me are graduating. *sigh* oh well. ANYWAY....

Lots of guys would just walk up and start talking to us. It was awesome. I met so many people that way. Like this guy from isreal (can't remember then name at the moment) taught me and jen how to make balloon teddy bears (our community robot blows up balloons). It was really cute. But then guys from our team came over and ended up scaring all the cute boys away :mad: :mad: :mad: . No fun at all I tell you.

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

i just remembered this pickupline /convo starter that was used on me at a reg.

i was at the LA regional doing some pit scouting , when this one boy from one of the teams said,


" sooooo, youre a robotics girl eh?"


and i was like, noooooooooooo im a football boy. :rolleyes:

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

this is from voodoo Guy from team 968. goodjob and keep on doing it and maybe you will get a smack in the face.

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

i was new at this robotics thing this year and i went to Purdue to watch my brother........well these guys had a lil kid come up and give me their number which also had their room number on it.........i was so shocked.......it was sick....and of course the boys from my team were plannin on beating them up....hehe....but i made my friend calll and she still talks to them....wierd (i would have been more interested if they would have just come up and talked to me!)

also at the same competition a like 23-year-old came up and starting hitting on me and my buddy, asking about what sports we play because i had my letter jacket on..........so the boys on my team came up and made him go away..i felt loved!

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

naah gotta give them away free.


(would you beleive it took me 3 days to read through this thread


"Your hotter than a prescott"(for those that don't know its a CPU core that runs hotter than most) the problem with this one is that i would have to know she is into computers alot not to mention i dont like it :rolleyes:

And the good old"Hey i know you on CD im[insert name here]"

One that i always wanted but isnt likely to happen
"hey so you like this song?"
-Something positive for a reply
"I wrote it" followed but some long conversation started by talking about music. too bad my music is very popular yet tho :(

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

I believe the three days of reading its huge on here. that and I guess i will wear a shirt saying free hugs and then i will have a sign at our area for the hugs to be 5 cents

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

one of the freshmen on our team told a bunch of us that he says things that he knows will make girls mad in hopes that they will slap him because it is the only physical contact he ever gets with girls.

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

wow. just wow. thats kind of depressing

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

I hope your joking. Otherwise that guy needs some help.

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

i have one!!! (its not really lame...it was accually pretty good but i figured it would be ok to post it.) i was at the 2006 nationals (in atlanta duh) and team 233-the pink team-was one of our alliance partners. we were all trading buttons and such to show support for our alliance when a girl came up to me and tappen me on the shoulder. she was from pink team and he handed me a button upside-down. she then says "that guy over there (pointing to another member of the pink team) wanted me to give this to you." so i flipped the button over and it said "233 Hottie" it was so sweet i just started to blush. nothing like that had ever happened to me before! it was my favorite button i had ever gotten...........but i left it in my hotel room down there!!!!!!! :(

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

I was manning the Hall of Fame display and this guy walked up and talked to me for an hour about chairman's stuff. Then I found out from a friend that he worked on mechanical and had nothing to do with their chairmans subgroup :ahh: . I kind of figured something was up before that....it was rather funny :o

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

I've known guys like that, but generally they're not bright enough to be doing it on purpose ...

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

While we were doing Pit scout sheets, one team asked us if we wanted their numbers on our pit scout sheets as well. :P

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

Our team's favorite pick up line is great... you carry a screw in your pocket and give it someone saying "Wanna screw??" thats my FAVORITE!!!!!! i haven't used it.... but I've thought about it!!!! if you try it... let me know how it goes!!!!

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

With lines like that, the girls your team encounters should arm themselves with the appropriate response – if only they could figure how to get a ten foot pole in their pocket.

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

Towards the end of the qualifying rounds at the Championship this year, we were in second place in our field, so a lot of teams came over to our pit to talk to us, in hopes of becoming an alliance partner in the elimination rounds. Everyone got forwarded to me, as I was the drive team coach and I was going to be the team representative for alliance selections. I have a lot of good memories from talking to everyone, but there's one moment that stands out in my head. A member of a rookie team was telling me about his team's robot and what they could do to be a great alliance partner. Then all of a sudden he stopped and put his arm around my shoulder, and he says, "and if I may add, you're looking quite nice... I know we'd make good partners." As funny as it was at the time (although I don't think it was intended to be), that definitely crossed their team off our list of potential alliance partners.

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

I was doing surveys at nationals and I asked this guy if his robot could pick up another robot. He said, "let's put the robots aside, i could pick up you" and then he started doing all these "muscle man" posses. I just said WOW and walked away hehe.;)

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

How about someone handing you a keeper, and saying "You're a keeper!"
(I tried this one at Champs without too much success)

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

A girl on my team was wearing a keeper-skirt, and I told her "I guess you're a keeper."
(It wasn't a pickup line; it was actually an attempted witty response. I'm not one for pickup lines...)
We also threw a spoiler on one of our mentors, I believe, and said he was spoiled. :p

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

"If you were an alliance, I'd graciously accept"


:D

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

Hypothetical Situation:

Say you're talking to a girl and she's standing right in your line of sight to say, 1023's rack. Then you proceed to notice how well built the rack is... and say, without thinking, "WOWZERS! Nice Rack!!!!"


Would she (a.) slap you or (b.) say "Why, thank you... only took us 15 hours to build!"

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

Allright, I'll bite.

It was my team's first competition EVER, @ the Peachtree Regional - 2004 - and we were standing by the playing field, me and some guys from my team. These guys came up to us and one of the guys walks up to me all suave and trying to be cool and then says ... "Sooo, you are team Manure, huh?" At that point the guys behind me just bust out laughing and I'm like "Noo, its Minotaur." His face got so red and he disapeared so quickly. The funny thing is that those guys didn't even look like they were in a team, it seems like they were just visiting. And I guess they mistook the name Minotaur which was in very big letters in our shirt for "Minoaur?" :confused: **Man, that must have been some badly designed t-shirts** But I do have to give this to them, my hair is long and was covering part of the name ... maybe that was what threw him off.

Anyway, that one single line became the joke of our team for years. Even our mentors joked around with it for a long time ... oh yeah team Manure ... yeeehaaa!!! I do have to say to whoever was that delivered that jaw-dropping line ... rest assured you delievered many laughs for many people. Thanks!

Ahh! Great robotics competitions!!!

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

[sarcasm]Wow, us guys need to hold some sort of robo-geek-guys convention on how to speak to women. Maybe we can get some guest speakers?[/sarcasm]
