Prom anyone????
 

If Eagle Robotics team 399 were to hold a "prom" at our hotel in nationals, would anyone be ineterested in attending? Please let me know as soon as possible so that we can start arranging.

HOLLA!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Yeah id go, sounds fun.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

I'm in!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

sounds cool. im in!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

If I go to Atlanta this year, then sure, why not?

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Well, I'm going to Atlanta... sounds relatively intriguiging :3

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Sounds like fun-- what hotel?

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Sounds like a fun event.

You may encounter problems of students not being able to leave their team's hotel or having to be back at the hotel at a certain time due to county rules and such.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

or even allowing the students to bring thier robots as thier dates. :p

Re: Prom anyone????
 

sounds cool. I'd probably come ;)

Re: Prom anyone????
 

If possible we need to get your team to go to make this work for everyone. So if you can bring this idea up at your next meeting or at least to your advisors, that would be great!

Thanks
Brian

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Sure, count me in too! Sounds fun!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Definately! Sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

:]

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Totally!

Provided I go to Atlanta, which is unlikely at this point :(

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Let me know if its a GO so I can get something to wear

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Ugh. Does this mean I need to find a date... AGAIN?

Jacob

Re: Prom anyone????
 

jewels i didnt know you were going to atlanta.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

If you do it next year (2008) I'll attend, but just for the sake of going to a 10 year anniversary party of my original senior prom.

Good god I'm getting old. :( :eek:

Re: Prom anyone????
 

I personally would love to do something social like that, but obviously it's the team's [read: mentors'] decision in the long run

Re: Prom anyone????
 

someone on my team and someone on our partner team would like to go together (you know who you are). what hotel?

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Interesting idea...if it were allowed, I would go just for the fun of hanging out with other FRC people.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Obviously we are doing this because the weekend of Atlanta is our prom at the HS this year. And then why limit it to ourselves. We still don't know the hotel, but we want to do this. We just won our way in to Atlanta so we should have a hotel in the next couple weeks, we'll keep everyone updated.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

im up for it. why doesn't FIRST just do a prom style social instead of putting together something at Olympic Park when it's freezing cold (referring to 2005).

i like this prom idea, since im a mentor, i'll be there, IF i attend (some of us remember what happened last year, so im not guaranteeing anything this year)

Re: Prom anyone????
 

That would be rather exciting I must say. If we make it this year, I'll bring it up to my team ^^

Re: Prom anyone????
 

How formal/informal?

Re: Prom anyone????
 

well i'll be missing my prom for vegas so why not. plus with a bunch of robotics people my dancing might not look as bad:rolleyes:

Re: Prom anyone????
 

haha a couple of guys from my team brought suits last year... we wandered around downtown untill a cop told us we were gonna get mugged... *little did he know our bodyguard is a blackbelt!*

Re: Prom anyone????
 

I'd definitely go, that sounds like a ton of fun!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Provided my team goes to Atlanta, I'd definitely go, if (a) we can dress informally, i.e. team shirts, and (b) bring our robots as dates :D

Although that makes it more of a normal team social than a prom...

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Sounds fun. You have three days to meet people and than a night to just relax and have fun with the peoples you meet. I think it would be pretty cool if we could do it formally, but I'm the guy who wears a tie for the heck of it with a nice shirt. Unfortunately we have a strict school district so we'll have to see what they say about this...*sigh*...

Pavan.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Sounds like a lot of fun! Im in depending on if its alright with the teacher advisors to leave the hotel.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Im in, i don't know about my other team members.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

I would be totally down for it as long as we make it to Atlanta and our district lets us out of the hotel to go.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Team 1474 graciously accepts!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Would this be formal or informal, and around how formal???:confused:

Re: Prom anyone????
 

I'm in =]

Just have to know what hotel and see if my advisor will let me go haha

And I will also forward this to my team... they will also need to know which hotel and the time

Re: Prom anyone????
 

If team 1629 makes it to Atlanta this year..
a prom would be so much fun!
:D

Re: Prom anyone????
 

id be game if it were at my hotel ......

Re: Prom anyone????
 

That's always been a pretty nifty idea.


I believe I have read a thread similar to this last year maybe, you should search for that thread to see what people suggested to maybe give you a better idea of why that team decided to not go on with it and such. i think it would help.


But if there were to be a "Prom" at Nats, i would go ;]

Re: Prom anyone????
 

We mentors want it too!!! Any excuse to get gussied up and re-live my youth

Disco fever anyone?

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Haha, I missed my junior prom, and I didn't get to go to my senior prom because I was a driver and it was the weekend of Atlanta. So, I definitely wouldn't mind doing a 2-year travel back in time and finally getting to go to prom :) Count me in!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

If our hotel is close enough... and if its in a decent time frame then......
im furshure in!!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

wait .. y does it have to be formal?... couldent it just be a Dance party?

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Is there any other team that would like to commit?

Re: Prom anyone????
 

yeah but who wants to bring formal clothing all the way to ATL?

as suggested above how but just a dance party?

Re: Prom anyone????
 

I'm positive other people on 1511 would love to take part in this...if allowed by our mentors. As for me, I might show up in a camo tux...that is if sophomores are allowed.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

what could be better than robotics and prom in the same weekend? it is too bad that i will not be going to nationals other wise i would be there. if you have one than have a blast

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Ask me again when we win our regionals

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Wendy, would you please go to the prom with me? =)

Re: Prom anyone????
 

That's a great idea! Please keep us posted!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

I'll just have to hope that Autodesk does that bandanna thing again. I'm gonna make me an Autodesk Tuxedo. Heck, I'll even draw up a prototype in Inventor first.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

OMG! Last year, me and Alicia both missed our junior prom for nationals, and this year (if we go, fingers crossed), the juniors will miss theirs too! I'm sure they would go, as would the seniors. What an awesome idea!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Re: Prom anyone????
 

agreed!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

i just hope 1547 goes :D :D

Re: Prom anyone????
 

heehee...

Re: Prom anyone????
 

If 973 makes it to Nationals I will sooo ask if we can go. I'll do my best at convincing them. :)

Re: Prom anyone????
 

i would love to go, but im not sure if my mentors would allow it
does sound like fun though

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Anyone going to make a duct tape outfit?

http://www.stuckatprom.com/contests/prom/archive.asp

C'mon, you know you want to...:rolleyes:

Re: Prom anyone????
 

a couple of girls on my team last year did that

Re: Prom anyone????
 

I would absolutely love to go to a FIRST prom! would there be a king and queen? lol. let the cheif delphi community vote?

spam mentors...if you're reading this....please (nod head in approval, prom sounds like great idea...it'll keep the kids from jumping on the beds in the hotel rooms!)

Re: Prom anyone????
 

It looks like the prom will be held at the hyatt hotel. It looks like most of the teams are staying there. Nothing in confirmed, but it looks like a good chance that its gonna happen. The only things is that there might be a small fee to get in, just so that we can cover the cost. Hope to see all of you there!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

so is it like a dance party or something?

Re: Prom anyone????
 

it pretty much is whatever you want it to be...the only reason that were calling it prom is because our high school prom is that weekend. and were obviously not going to be able to attend...there will be music....and drinks i believe..

Re: Prom anyone????
 

My team is seriously considering this. Any idea on time/cost? This sounds like a great opportuinty to socialize with other teams.

Jacob

Re: Prom anyone????
 

it will most likely be on thursday night, and be under 10 dollars.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

This is too bad. Most of our team is arriving on Thursday night (5 PMish) At 9PM, we are having a viewing party for my appearance on the CW (check out my ~sig~) Oh well. Perhaps next year you can plan for this Friday or Saturday night, because we would love to attend.

Robo~Prom
 

So we are planning on having an robo prom in Atlanta. But in order to do so we need to have enough people interested, as in teams in part or in whole. We are planning on having it in a convention room at the Hyatt on thursday night. Is there any interest to do so? there will be a small (under 10 USD) fee at the door just so that we can cover costs i.e. dj, room, etc.. Please let me know ASAP if you are interested.

Re: Robo~Prom
 

Is there a need for a second thread about prom started by you?

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=55636

Re: Robo~Prom
 

Hey I hav a question about this. Do we have to be all dressed up and nice and what not? A couple of us CircuitRunners want to just come and hang out since we are staying at the Hyatt. Would that be alright or would we have to do the whole dress up thing?

Re: Robo~Prom
 

You can come as you want. there are no requirements.

Re: Robo~Prom
 

i'll most likely stop by, if my team comes, we already got rooms ready for us at the Hyatt, it would be nice to meet new teams, seince i only know teams from the FL regional from 04-07 and Philly 05

Re: Robo~Prom
 

There seems to be a lot of interest in this. I know a lot of people on our team (mostly girls though-- and I'm not sure you'd want to see the guys on our team dance...)

What would the fee cover? Are you planning on getting a banquet room or something, and would there be food, dj, etc?

Re: Robo~Prom
 

Count me in!!!!!!!! I know a lot of the kids on SPAM team 180 are interested, and our sponsor said he was cool with it.

...it'd be more fun if everyone dressed up though. :D a real FIRST prom. (spirited semi-formal?)

Re: Robo~Prom
 

Do you need a dj? :-) I should be around and most likely driving up anyways.

Re: Robo~Prom
 

this is why we love dan. now everyone must go! gotta dance!!!

Re: Robo~Prom
 

heh, we'll see want to get some more info First. But it sounds like a cool idea.

Re: Robo~Prom
 

Just get out the SOHO cups, 20 2-L bottles of [A&W root] beer, a couple ping pong balls, and we'll have ourselves a pregame for it! :D

If there's an event, people will find a way to pregame for it. ;)

Wish I could be there, but I can't.

Re: Robo~Prom
 

don't say that. these are robotics kids. good kids. lol. don't ruin this splendid idea for us by scaring the mentors away. i see it as a team social... (i'm so wearing a cape!) let's dance!

Re: Robo~Prom
 

What? How would that be scaring away the mentors? The pregame sounds like more fun than a dance. :ahh: I'm not a dance person, but I do randomly dance like the white guy I am.

Re: Robo~Prom
 

One of the best songs in the world for getting a bunch of people to dance is SHOUT by the Isley Brothers -
You know you make me wanna shout!
Kick my heels up and shout!
Throw my hands up and shout!
Throw my head back and shout!
Come on now shout!
--
Before you know it people are dancing.

Re: Robo~Prom
 

so, will this be open to all or just teams staying in hotel?being an old fart,parent, mentor, i'm not sure i or hotel would appreciate 150 teams showing up when word got out that there was a "PARTY AT HYATT". i know you guys are a special group of kids,and the only thing i worry obout is you guys might figure out how to take over world, but it could get bigger than you think.remember alot more people look at cd then just post.with that being said,910 out of michigan is staying there, and i'm sure some if not all would show up. will bring it up at next meeting and get you some numbers.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

count me in

if there is dancing and other FIRST teams to dance with I'm in

sebas

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Our team has a schedule/itinerary and if you could give me as much info as possible on what activities there will be, then i will be bring it up to our mentors, and hopefully then edit our plans that night.

Re: Prom anyone????
 

i'll be there!

Re: Robo~Prom
 

this is such a great way to meet people from other teams, early on in the competition, make new friends to spend the weekend with... before saying goodbye again on saturday night....

i think team 399 might be my new favorite team. thank you for planing this. :D if it is the robo-prom, can it be semiformal.... (collared shirts & short dresses...that could fit in duffle bags...) yay!

Re: Robo~Prom
 

IF they are doing it in the conference rooms those are built for just such occasions.

Plan on 1902 Oink Oink booming the night away

Re: Robo~Prom
 

count me in (al long as sophmores are welcome) and i will ask the rest of my team. I agree semi formal is definatly best. but this is a great idea

Re: Prom anyone????
 

ill be there!!!

Re: Prom anyone????
 

sweet, ill definatly be there if my mentors dont mind

Re: Robo~Prom
 

i really hope my mentors will be ok with me going
i'll definatly dress up semi formal
i think this will be an awesome oppertunity for me to meet alot of new people and should be really fun
and im really busy during the day at competitions, so i dont get to interact with everyone as much as i would like
this would be perfect for me

Re: Robo~Prom
 

Yeah same here Andrew. The CircuitRunners will be semi-formal.
And Andrew, tell Nick, John and Ricky I want to see them dancing.
(Mr. Ray and Mr. Folea better be out there too ;-) jk jk)

Re: Prom anyone????
 

Simply... I would totally attend!

Re: Robo~Prom
 

:D
thats easier said than done
lol

Re: Robo~Prom
 

I'm interested, I'll try and bring it up to some of the other members/mentors. Do you have any idea what the times would be? That would probably be our limiting factor as to whether or not we can go..

Re: Robo~Prom
 

Our mentors are in conversation about this. As long as the hotel is ok with it, considering how many people seem to want to come, you will need to come up with a time, food, drinks, a method for collecting money, and so on. Good luck on your planning, it would be a fun event.

Re: Robo~Prom
 

Basically, we have a 100 person occupantcy room from the hotel. Im not sure how to do this, but anyone who has said that there were comming for sure on chiefdelphi, i will keep that amount of space for your team. Please just let me know how many plans on attending.
Thanks

Re: Robo~Prom
 

[quote=Adare180;603424] and our sponsor said he was cool with it.

Which sponsor is that, Brit?

No decision yet. I don't have any volunteers for chaperones.

Re: Robo~Prom
 

sounds wicked sweet! ill totally run this past my other team members!:D

Re: Robo~Prom
 

oops... i volunteer my dad.
