Anytime's a good time
 

You know you're a firstaholic when you notice the date and time and realize that they are the numbers of FIRST teams.

What time is it? Metal in Motion

What day is my book report due? Alpha Omega

~random thoughts on a rainy afternoon~

Yeah, whenever I look at speed limits or numbers on commercial products I sometimes remember the teams that go behind them.
Sheesh. My pyschiatrist is going to have a field day with this one. ;-)

lol, i always do that with page numbers and change when i buy things

That's it. We're all doomed.
Better create a support group now...
:eek:

Yeah.. its pritty bad when you hear a team # os see something that has nothing to do with FIRST
I Agree we need a F.A.A (first aholics anonymous):)

Yea I do that as well. My friends will be like, "What time is it?" and I'll say, "It's 3:12." and then we all laugh and everyone else looks at us funny. I love FIRST! :)

yay, i'm not alone! :D yeah, i do that to everything. when i'm walking home from school i pass by house numbers 116 (herndon team), 118 (robonauts), and a few others. when we're in math espicially, i hear numbers and i think robots. it's only going to get worse with the withdrawal of the offseason. at least we're thinking about going to an off-season comp this summer, but that might just make it worse :)

And here I was, wondering what they meant when they said this program was addictive....

Srawls, where in the US are you? We're hosting a competition and only 5 teams have signed up.... we'd be glad to have ya.

where are you hosting a competition?

right here in good old North Brunswick New Jersey

our team is down in VA. new jersey isn't that far away i guess, i'll just have to rally up support in our team. right now we're thinking about going to one in south carolina, but that's by no means official or final

Stephen

woah....nice, my teams from long island, when are you having the competition?

YAY I'm not alone!

During GLR, I tried to get our bus driver to add a 0 the the end of our bus number, 47, in support of our team. So yeah I ride bus Chief Delphi.

lol abi. at least you're riding them!

competitions in november. im trying to find another close by summer comp too, so lemme know when you find one. but novemberstill istn bad, before long island and rutgers

things are in the works...;)

*pouts* 783 Isn't a time....Not unless you clock is kinda broken.

Now, for no particular reason, here is a story:

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 Billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300C.

The Russians used a pencil.

hehehe :D

sheesh, y'all are chief delphi addicts. I post one simple musing about how addicted i am to FIRSt and i get more than 15 replies within seven hours

at least i now know i'm not alone

one of the buses at my school has the number 871 which is my teams number, the last night for math hw i had to do pages 270 and 271(deer park and Bayshore):)

sheesh, not my fault i have no life.

well you asked for it. btw, you certainly won't be the consolor in the FAA amy beth. :)

Stephen

so then who will be the counsler of the FAA?[color=darkblue]

i see 31 everywhere, its creepy, i walked into american eagle one day and you know how they have those shirts and hats with just random numbers on them? well they had hats with 31 on them IN OUR TEAM COLORS, needless to say i bought them all and then drove to the 2 other stores in town and bought basically every one in town, ahh the memories

asher

Man, I was at Fazzoli's with another team member today and my change was $0.93 and I looked at her and said "Good number, huh?" I went to bed last night/this morning and the time was 1:11 - I immediately think "Wildstang!" I was reading today and didn't have a bookmark. Looked at the page number which was 45 and thought "Technokats!" Someone mentioned 'the feds' in math today (talking about something other than FIRST, of course) and I thought to myself "201!" ... so what was that about FAA? ;)

- Katie :D

Team Numbers.....
 

Getting off course a little more....

Since we started talking about team numbers, my friends and i (normally 2 or 3 from Technokats) go out to eat lunch every day during school....and when we go to Burger King or Arby's or something we always look at out "order numbers" and see what team it is.....

Re: Team Numbers.....
 

I was order 234 the other day :D

wooohhhooo!!! 234 i like that number:cool: that is my favoritie time of the day, 2:34

My favorite time is 0:45 in army time :D

today i think i reached a new low. i was visiting my grandmother at the hospital (she just had surgery, and is now going through therapy), and i saw her room number was 316. the first thing i thought of was the team 316 ... i remembered them specifically because they fell over at the start of a match like we did. anyway, i guess i should be a charter member of the FAA :)

Stephen

ADIDAR
all day i dream about robots

i know, im pathetic

i like the number 100000111.

FAA
 

i feel a 12 step program com-min' on!!;)

Re: FAA
 

i always thought it was a 47 step program....

okok, so i was aiming for 25....
but i think u guyz might need that many:rolleyes:
;)

lol

just thought this was relevant

Replic
 

" hey! 25! thats my team! "~Replic
<<<<:rolleyes:

yeah...
 

My favorite time is then 8:85, which would turn out to be 9:25 then, right? Do I have to like team 925 now??? ;-0

Oh well, long live all FAH's!

So long, Phil

I'm kinda partial to 2:01, myself. At one point, I had my alarm set for then, but I decided that it was annoying to have it go off during 6th hour every day. That lasted a whole two days, I think.

hmmm, 7:83 turns into 8:23...What team is 823? Hopefully they're nice.

Also...funny comic (see attatched file).

the FAA already exists..... see my attached image (its a pin i got one year from team 190)

Best... Thread... Ever.
 

For weeks before nationals, I kept seeing this semi trailer driving around town. It was number 71. I think that has some relevance.


Seriously, I just drove North and south across the country in the past six days. (Get your maps out - From Houston, through Texarcana, Little Rock and Memphis to Terre Haute, from Terre Haute through Madison to Waupaca, and then from Waupaca through Madison, St. Louis, Poplar Bluff, Little Rock, and Texarcana back to Houston.) That was over 40 hours of driving in the past six days.

Anyway - I was seeing team numbers everywhere. I would go for hours without noticing a mile marker, then I'd see #118. On every road! 71's, 45's, 47's, 111's, 116's, 121's, 469's. Every road sign had a face that went with it. Most had several. I am so very glad that I'm not the only one who this happens to.

The only other time something like this has happened to me was when a friend of mine in high school was convinced that the number 41 was out to get him. He'd wake up in the middle of the night, and it would be 3:41. It was the number the football coaches gave him on his jersey, he'd see the number everwhere.

And then I did.

And soon, you will.

On another note -

I also found Mountain Home, Arkansas (the home of #16, the Baxter Bomb Squad) on the map while eating at a Denny's just north of St. Louis. I tried to find a route that would take me through there, but I'd still be on the road if I'd gone that way. The Ozarks are beautiful, though - even at night (by the light of the silv'ry moon). I highly recommend visiting, but make sure you fill up your tank in St. Louis - they don't believe in 24 hour gas stations there.

I remember those Pins the girl who made those is my friend she came home from college like thanksgiving or something and started makeing them

Dont even get me started with the numbers thing!!

It is pretty sad now that you mention it though.... but yes that is why I am going to WPI.. where robotics rules the world :)

Yer not the only one on our team, Replic. I, the button queen, have the same problem. (not like it's a bad thing or anything..hee hee)

Yeah, but you have to come in the summer to really appreciate it... The lakes (Bull Shoals and Norfork) are great during the summer.

i have the best one.... we go to a restaurant after a mini-meet and the max occupancy is 263 people. how awesome is that
