Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

now that would be funny.

I would like to hear a team want to borrow another teams robot for their next match....

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

I don't remember what team it was, but

"Team xxxx is looking for their robot. If anyone has seen their robot, please bring it to team xxxx"

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

That's hilarious!

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

"Labview Download Disk"

Not really funny, more like "Wait...what?"

Um...let's see...

"Hope"
"A finals selection"
"Flux Capacitor"
"Our Mascot's Head"

I heard one of our other mentors talking about asking the pit admin for an AC Battery :p

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

"(Pit neighbors team number) needs lube!" is always a good one.

This year at NJ:

Team 2495 needs there drive team to report to queuing for a match NOW

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

From us was "team 1306 needs a warp drive", and "Team 1306 would like to know the average flight speed of an unladen swallow" which was followed up with "team xxxx would like to ask team 1306 is it was an african or european swallow" Also, "team 1306 needs Jon Morton in the queue NOW." Not exactly funny considering he's our main driver...

Other ones from the Wisconsin Regional are a wood welder, heartworm pills/a milk bone for a team's watchdog, and a metric, left-handed, flathead screwdriver.

I am not joking, one of my electrical students asked if the pre-2009 batteries were ac.

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

we asked at palmetto this year (jokingly) for lunch :p

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

Our captain reigns us in any time we get the idea to ask for silly things over the PA, but a few of our favourites have been:

"Team 1334 has just lost the game. If anyone finds it, can you please bring it to their pit?"
"Team 1334 is looking for hugs!"
"Team 1334 is looking for an alliance captain." (we'd obviously never say something so unprofessional, this is just when we get nervous about alliance selections)
"Team 1334 would like to invite everyone to a dance party in their pit."
"Team 1334 would like their devil head back...no questions asked."

Oh the fun we could have...

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

My favorite:

"Team 190 is looking for an 8" PID loop"

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

I couldn't stop laughing it was too funny! I don't think anyone had any though and probably expected them to bring it.

Re: Funny things to ask for on the PA system
 

dang it we should've done "lost the game." This year our team made a board game to give away at West Michigan District so it would've fit.

Team 87 is in need of 6 rolls of duct tape and a bowling ball
