Dodgeball Anyone?
 

Well, last Saturday, after cleaning up and talking about what still needs to be done, some of the mentors and students stayed after and played an awesome game of dodge ball (students vs. mentors of course!)

Well, this Saturday, the whole team stayed after to play dodge ball.

I can see this happening ever Saturday now when we're done, as a sort of team building and fun time thing.

Have any other teams done things like this?

heh, usually when balls get thrown around on my team it has more of a spiteful intent.

We played dodgeball one weekend :)

Two years ago when we had the really really big dodgeballs we would mess around with those when we were bored.

I don't know how it happened but last Friday as we were leaving the lab a dodge-ball game broke out. Lessons learned were:

1. Don't play dodge-ball in the lab. ( I should know this I used to teach shop courses)

2. Don't play dodge ball with safety glasses on. (This causes scarring)

3. Don't hide behind the table holding unassembled robot parts.

4. Avoid those sprinkler heads in the ceiling.

5. Man does your arm hurt the next morning.

6. Hey, David Kelly quit hiding behind the EDM you are going to get the balls all wet.

7. Make sure you are there early Sat. morning to deny everything. :o

OK now throw!

Yea, we were playing dodge ball a couple days when we were waiting for our mentores to arrive. It was fun because we sort of have this big quad area in the center of the school and it's nice outside in Orlando FL at about 4:30 in the afternoon.

Well yes we have. When we were throwing the balls around yesterday trying to see if we could get the balls in the low goals then all the mentors came out on the field and took all the balls and started throwing them at the players station. Then we had to go out and get the balls if we wanted to throw them. Then it just got to be a dodgeball game. It was awesome!

Hey Andy, c'mon out to Oconomowoc! We'll take you on any night of the week ;)

A few mentors and students got into a dodgeball match a week or so ago. It was amazing good fun. Yes, amazing because we didn't break anything in the process :yikes: That Ricky Q. really can throw...even if he can't aim to save his life...

I think FIRST was kind of asking for this to happen if they intended for teams to practice at all. Maybe they intended this year's game to also be "team building". Who Knows? :ahh:

We were gonna do this, except the robot gets to play.

Re: Dodgeball Anyone?
 

Sounds....Dangerous?

Re: Dodgeball Anyone?
 

8. Don't stand in front of the robot when Randy Johnson Jr. is throwing at you....7 inch speed holes are a bad thing.

We've had regular dodgeball tournaments since week 2. When we opened the KoP I was the first person to hold the ball they gave us and my first thought was that it'd be perfect for dodgeball.

Our team leader has declared an "official" scored tournament to be held once the build season is over!

As much as we want to play DogdeBall we haven't got the chance to play it yet. Hopefully by the time the ship date comes around we should have played it atleast once or twice. :rolleyes:
