Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

no one quite knows way the team started this, but for years we have been asking for stuff like these ...

Left handed metric wrench(s).
( doesn't really come from one place, it's just a tool joke )

Self Sealing Stem Bolts,
( Star Trek Deep Space Nine )

Knibbler Pins,
( no idea, it's just a thing. )

19/16ths left hand threaded bolt
( again, no idea. It just happened )

20Kw DC electromagnets
( another, "why?... How?!," it's just a thing some kids thought up )

50ft of Coaxial cable.
( seemed like a thing to do at the time. )

a MOAB
( that was remembered the year after by an official )

Someone asked for their Dungeon Master, a players hand book,
their "Gee EM". A "Dee twenty ". ( several of us had them on hand ! )

A cup holder for the robot.
( it needed coffee ! )

We asked for Saw dust ( for the radioactive Hamsters,
Rumored to be living in our robot... As a power source ).
That joke got us suuuuuuch a looking over by the judges and safety people.

crystalized Dilithium.
( reverse the words... )

I remember that! We got awesome buttons out of that one.

A canister of Dihydrogen Monoxide is always a good request. Just make sure the announcer is aware that it could be lethal if inhaled in it's liquid form but will only curl your hair if you are exposed to it in it's gaseous state.

Haha. Very clever! Some people might look at you weird until they realize what it is you said!

Phil,

I get that look every time I open my mouth. It's all part of who I am. And.......I love it!

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

Last year we asked for a hydrospanner.

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

The only thing funnier than dihydrogen monoxide is hydroxic acid. It has almostthe same qualities, but is also an acid.

Team XXXX is looking for their pet Ewok.

I want to see the heads turn looking for it. :rolleyes:

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

I think I'll put in a request for a couple pounds of unobtanium this year.

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

" ... Team nnnn is seeking a faster minibot "

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

Well I think we'll hear a lot of that...

Team XXXX is looking for a new driver, theirs was shot by Solo.

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

Just to clear something up really quick...

Look at the shirt George Lucas is wearing in this picture.

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

He did, that's why I specifically said the driver was shot by Solo.

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

1825 needs 10 lbs of depleted uranium to weight there kicker
1825 needs dilithium crystals. This one they told us they would say when they ran out of real announcements

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

A couple members of our team were doing a scavenger hunt and one of the items was a 1/4 in pop rivit. We told them to ask other teams...we ended up hearing, "Team 2851 needs a 1/4 in pop rivit" over the PA. All for one team's free T-Shirt.
