Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Man, I notice your number so many times each day...the 4 train Jerome Avenue IRT shops are next to the school. I see a 4 everytime I board the evening bus home.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Ninety-three cents for a gallon of gas? That's not gonna happen anytime soon. Although $0.93 for a liter of gas (about $3.52 per gallon) is more realistic (although still cheaper than current gas prices).

Back on topic:
I have seen a license plate that said 1554. I always keep my eye out for those. Boy, I am really addicted to FIRST... :p

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

on t-shirts in aeropostale haha

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

this must be a recent photo. When we were in Atlanta, it was 359 at all the gas stations we saw! I should have taken photos as that will never happen again.:mad:
Attending the VCU regional had gas at 3.15/gallon and that was just in early March! Wonder what it is now there.

We were sitting next to the Hokies, Team 401 at Einstein, who were our alliance partners at VCU. One of their students showed me their watch at 4:01pm. My watch was slower and showed 3:59pm! hehe......

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

the house address of one of our mentors at the local community college is 1510 as well as the locker number that is across the hall from the school shop.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

I get happy when i look at the clock and it's 1:45 =P, or when i buy something and it comes out to 1.45........ yayaya for team pride.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

I have seen our team number 2207 on a mailbox on my way to school.

And during the MN Regional I saw a license plate with 093 on it and thought of Team 93.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Not and "everyday place", but there were 41 regionals this year I believe...

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

I'm sure its been said before, but almost everyday I see 11:14, and my sister's cell phone number starts with 217

I don't know that many teams yet, being it my rookie year, but what I do know I notice.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

My team (2079) was driving back home to Massachusetts from the Pittsburgh Regional. We only made one stop for gas. We were driving down the highway and decided to stop for gas, the gas station we pulled into was number 2079.

I've become accustomed to seeing other teams numbers all over the place but I rarely see my teams number, I just thought it was weird that of all the places we stopped it would be the place with my team's number.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

OMG...I was looking at these e-mails that we printed out for sponsors and the captain of our fundraising sub-team's phone number's last four digits are 1676...and so I quickly posted here.

Also whoever is team 908, I see your number like more than 20 times a day :) (For those who don't know 908 is an NJ area code)

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Last night, I watched the Local on the 8's on the weather channel at RoboDevils pm, and just by coincidence turned it off after a story ended at Kil-A-Bytes pm.

Crazy, considering we borrowed their robot controller at the Boilermaker regional... have to remember to give that back.

Thanks PIKE ROBO DEVILS! :D

Needless to say, I have a good feeling about the test. :D

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Haha Thats funny because I saw the number 141 EVERYWHERE before nationals! My plane flew in at 1:41, three days in a row I looked at the clock and it was 1:41, I was watching House and he said "I will give you this for, the one dollar and forty one cents in your pocket", I look at my car's odometer, and it had 141 miles on it. I saw bus #141 more than I normally, and on the way to the Georgia Dome I saw 4 signs everyday for Exit 141. I thought I was alone on that!

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

I'm working on a presentation over how our motion control system works this year... and ran accross a team number in a very interesting place...

There were THRUST teams involved in the FRC competition this year! :yikes:

We love you 1501! :D

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

hey look! Post number 418!!
now there is a number in an everyday place!

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

At 5:28, the time is actually 4:88. (Always my answer to questions like "what time is it?")
My locker number at school is 176, awesome alliance partners in Atlanta
Also, one-digit numbers tend to show up a fair amount :D

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Too many times when I'm doing my homework have I looked up at the clock to see that it's Funky Monkeys(846) pm. It happens so many times that I resort to smacking my head every time that happens.
Also, recently in my math class, Danvillans(1458) kept showing up as the answer for some wierd reason, made me pinch myself to make sure I wasn't going crazy.

Oh, and in a skit, I purposely inserted PALY(8), Raider Robotix(25), and MVRT(115) as the numbers for a math problem in the script.(8x + 25 = 115) Still don't know what I was thinking at that point.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

my sister doesn't know anything about robotics or our team.

she played the lotter and i just happened to look at the ticket,.................

I recently saw a car with CT plates reading either <228 FVC> or <FVC 228>. One of the two. Either way, I thought this was pretty cool.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

So I was getting some ice cream at summerfest, and I splurged and got triple scoop.

I gave them a twenty and my change was, in large numbers on the register, 16.75


The was the most exciting thing that day. I told my friends (on the robotics team) and we went back and got more ice cream.

I just finished my first semester schedule. Engineering class? In Mechanical Engineering room 339 :D

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Ought to consider military time as a format.
However if a team's last two digits are above 59, you have a problem.

UNLESS, you use modulo math.

Darn, hexadecimal won't work. . . or should it ?

Think outside the box, errr, numbering system. . . .

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

We notice when it says 5:26 on the clock....building our robots on Ft Huachuca probably contributes to this.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Yeah I see like signs like that all the time in stadiums :D

Yay for low team numbers, I get to see it on the clock a lot as well :rolleyes:

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

I guess since we consider our 'bots as pets, we can't bring them here. But maybe anyone else could? -found at a rest stop on I-95 just before the NSA exit - what do they know that we don't about ED?

Id love for gas to get down to the price of my old team ($.27/gal for gas anyone?)

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

id take $.79, also on the receipt does upchg mean upchuck?

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

i wish i had a picture of this but in our rookie year (2007) we went to Ohio as our second regional and we just so happened to end up in a hotel with the number 2077 above one of its entrances. I belive that at one time Cleaveland had a numbering system for its buildings that made it easier for the fire department to find buildings and this was a reminant from that system.

The number 11 tends to come up in lots of places, so I don't think about it much. However, the fabric store where I work sells some fabric with black and yellow print and I want to buy some every time I see it!

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

I work at Food Lion as a cashier and i see $8.88 all the time. One day i saw it three times. I would've taken a picture if it didn't look so weird to the customers. :)

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Going down the highway a few days ago I saw a sign that said something about "team 85" and I didn't get to read much about it as it went by to fast but I'm still wondering if it was FIRST related....

All i remember from western civ is that Thomas Newcomen perfected the steam engine in 1712 :D

Nice to know that you other teams are finding your numbers in all sorts of places, but 2188 appears nowhere.

We were on our way to the michigan state championship and saw a building that said "open 247" without a space ;)

Also, i love it when i thread i make hits 247 views....

but as our number implies, its everywhere. i see it 24/7 ;)

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Going to Atlanta this year, many team members noticed that gas prices were $2.17 almost everywhere on the way :)

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Okay well I see 179 in food prices all the time.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

I got 15.57 gallons of gas the other day......

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

I remember getting gas that was $1.519 a gallon.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

my total was $30.79 i think :rolleyes:

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

I flew home from Atlanta, bought a slice of pizza. I nearly flipped out and frightened the cashier when the total came to $2.17.

I have seen $2.17, $2.45, $2.47, $2.53, $2.54, $2.56 and once $3.30(!) as gas prices.

My new college ID number includes 1072 (Harker Robotics).

I take Latin, and our passages have line numbers. I have noted Teams 1, 4, 8, 11, 16, 20, 25, 33, 45, 47, 48, 60, 67, 69, 71, 75, 79, 85, 100, 111, 114, 115, 116, 121, 141, 148, 245, 247, 253, 254, 256, 330, 341, 365, 399, 499, 538, 604, 668 and 692. There are over 2000 lines in the Aeneid, but each book (chapter) restarts its line count.

Every time I look at my (24-hour) clock and it says 0:01, 0:04, 0:08, 0:11, 0:16, 0:20, 0:25, 0:33, 1:00, 1:11, 1:14, 1:15, 1:16, 1:21, 1:41, 2:45, 2:47, 2:53, 2:54, 2:56, 3:30, 3:41, 6:04, 7:01, 7:16, 8:41, 8:42, 8:46, 8:52, 9:10, 10:24, 11:14, 15:01, 15:03, 15:19, 17:17, 17:26 or 19:02, I get a little distracted. I have probably missed a few.

A couple of days later, I checked one of my email folders, and there were exactly 766 (!) emails in it.

On Wednesday, I took the AB Calculus exam. Found 980 in one of the numbers...

Today, I was at our school's badminton meet (I play) and one of the scores was 15:03. Another score was 15:01.

There are currently KRUNCH days until IRI.

Hm. I'm insane, aren't I? :o

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Finally, someone who thinks like me. I see a number, and I see a team. Last year before IRI, I was buying a book, and they had some weird discount %. The book originally would cost WITH shipping $15.19 and with the discount, it was $11.14. Who knew we would play each other at IRI.

If I listed out all the numbers I saw with team names. I would talk your ear off:p

you have 177 posts, BOBCATS baby LOL

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

And you have Bionic Bulldogs posts! They are from Arizona, and were in Curie Division with us. :D

Oh. Now I have 178 posts. TBA tells me they are the 2nd Law Enforcers, from Connecticut. :)

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

The gas now is $2.28 and i always freak out when i see a team number and my un-educated (people not in FIRST) keep asking whats t he big deal and im like its a robotics thing!

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

~My robotics friend worked as a cashier, and she once had a total order of $16.76.

~I was playing Pocket Tanks, on my iTouch, for a non-robotics trip to Massachusetts, and I got 111 points for my shot.

~I always seem to look at the clock when its 11:14

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

We have a folder in dropbox full of pictures with 166 in it...maybe when I get home I'll link to them.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

During nationals there were several snack foods in the hotel store that, with a five dollar bill, returned $1.77 in change. Also, at the cafe where my team ate breakfast someone on our team got order number 177 on two consecutive days (once it was me).

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

I recently took a business trip to Texas -- a place I rarely go. As I got up the first morning and put the address in my GPS, imagine my surprise as I saw 1902! A couple of days later as I got ready to check in for my return flight I noticed the flight number --1592! Guess what two teams shared a bus to Atlanta this year? You got it....1592 & 1902.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

i thought of the bulldogs,( and you had to look up 178 on tba:p ) but i wanted to go to bed as i am taking a gov. class which is 2:00 hours away from my house. It runs the 11-14 my bill #'s are 40, 195, and 1519

I was on train car 67 down and 467 up hot and duct tape.

And so many more which i don't feel like typing out. Now i am at 61 posts shifters. :cool:

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

That's really weird. I have been seeing random numbers everywhere, and I always associate them with FRC teams.

I was driving on the highway about two weeks ago, and I saw a sign for exit 217, and I was like "Thunder Chickens!" And my sister kind of just stared at me.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

A picture would be very interesting, since there is no Interstate 67, and if there were one, it wouldn't be on Long Island.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Well, some kind of highway haha

I realized my home thermostat settings are
HuskieBrigade during the day (65)

and the AC is set to turn on when it reaches the RoboRaiders (75)

(apologies to my Canadian friends... I was told there'd be no math involved)

((we're slowly moving to metric... once inch at a time))

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

I'm not sure if it counts as "everyday", but it is a unit of measure: a smoot is 67 inches.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

It seems every time i look at a clock it is either 2:17 or 11:14, oddly enough i don't see it say 16:25 very often:rolleyes:.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

There's always 24-hour time! 16:25 would be 4:25pm.

I wish a clock would read 11:89...I'll have to build a clock that uses the 90-minute hour.

I always check my receipts for team numbers. I see 67 quite a bit.

And finally, it always makes my day to see gas prices at 1.189 (though seeing gas prices that low nowadays is a sure sign of the apocalypse!)

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Don't know if this counts or was posted already
but our robot this year weighed 118.9 lbs. ^_^

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

Me and one of my teammates were in history class and I looked at my phone to check the time and it was 1:34. I gave the teammate my phone and said look at the time! He grabbed the phone, it slipped on his desk and fell on the floor really loudly. The teacher gave us a nasty look and went back to talking. lol.

Also, in chemistry class we were graphing and for the x-axis, our teacher used the numbers 1, 3, and 4. I was like Go Robotics! Everyone just stared at me like I was crazy. Some people just dont get it. *sigh*

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

When I was signing the paperwork for my 2009 Pontiac Vibe--a General Motors product--I noticed that the VIN starts 5Y2SP67099Z....

Now, that could mean that it's a four-door vehicle with front, side, and side curtain airbags...but I think we know what GM was going for when they assigned the digits. ;)

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

After the off-season competition Mayhem in Merrimack, the team went out to eat. My friend's change came out to be $1.55. She saw this and shouted "Nutty!"
I love robotics.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

You should see when my one of my friends and I play Smash. It's just calling out team numbers left and right. Usually, we won't hit someone if they get 177%, but they have to kill themselves after they get 2.

Ok. That last part was a lie.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

pretty much all of our school books have page 279 highlighted [only the number] in light blue. I've taken to highligting some other ones as well. most recently i underlined the word cat 7 times on page 451 of a science book, but it never said cat attack or anything along those lines =(

My learners permit has 2377 in it. Noticed it when i was getting it, the guy wrote a long serial number down and i noticed my team number in it, sure enough when they gave me the card, it said 2377 in the serial number.

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

When:
-Making your first D&D character (at least in a few years) you are deciding on an age and you bounce the idea off your friend about having a 1189 year old gnome. I ended up deciding that that might be a bit much so I ended up making him 67 years old instead :D (disclaimer: the reference was to the team not their name. Sorry, but I realized afterwords that it might be taken in other ways.)
-When you notice when playing a game that your team had 217 points ^_-

Re: Team Numbers in Everyday Places
 

I was sorting through credit card receipts and came across one with a total of $27.53. I know receipts are pretty normal, but this was the first time I had seen my own team number anywhere unordinary, so I was excited!

Also I find myself looking for team numbers driving home from a competition. I'll start seeing them on mailboxes and road signs without even trying. That's what robotics can do to a person!! :D
