Re: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done, related to FIRST?

Re: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done, related to FIRST?
well I'm a senior, so I'm full of stories, some me, some kids who left... anyway, fresman year at the colombia U, NYC regional (2001) one of our team members decided he couldn't sleep at 2 AM so he left the hotel and walked uptow from 110th street staight into harlem, when he came back at 4 AM our mentor was sooooo pissed at him...
another time sophmore year some kids decided to make a crossbow out of 1" square aluminum tube, and the elastic tubing, they used the 1/2" long drill bit as a bolt. the first firing sent the bolt across the room and into a blackboard, the hole is still there. that same year at nationals we got to space mountan 5 minutes before closing, so we got on, and the line was short, but we werent done, so we came right out the exit and went back on. its not so dumb until you realize there were at least 8 of us doing this, and we rode it 6 times... this year at final bin bash in NJ I had junk in my pockets that sung around, so I decided to duct tape my pants tight at the knee to keep them from swinging, and tighten my belt. the problem was I left my rear no slack, so when I crouched for the team picture, my pants split right open from zipper to back... last year I was installing line following sensors under the bot, when I decided to make sure the bracket was extra tight... I severed the wires... freshman year, one of our team members was told to figure out how to hook up the speed controllers (victor 883's) so he diced to test one. he looked at it and saw no positive or negative marker, so rather than RTFM he hooked all 4 in series and reversed the polarity, blowing them all out. not fun at $112 a pop... (will stop for broke speed controllers) last year at huston, we forgot saftey goggles, so I mentioned I saw a target on the way there, so I voluteered to go, and took a list, mostly drinks and junk, that I needed to get... it wasnt a little walk, it was 3 miles (round trip) I later found out, and the googles and 20 pounds of liquid refreshment were a pain to carry. the nice part was when I showed up and sold some of my purchase at a markup to other firsters... |

Re: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done, related to FIRST?
Back in the day that our team was #465 (2001) I put a HUGE gash in our 36 inch ball. I put it down walked away and never told any one. I can only say this now because I am one of two members of the team that is still around today.

just today i was up at my high school when there were no teachers and i accidentally popped the big ball that was given to us in the kit...
you see i was taking it out of the room that we store our parts in and i put a small hole in it... thinking that masking tape might fix the problem i repared the hole. then so that nobody would notice i tried to reinflate the ball and.....pop thats when i figured that people would notice ![]() i'll get a pic of the ball (or whats left) up soon...

Trying to find someone to do the Truffle Shuffle at the 2002 Nationals.
It failed. The girls I was with and I only found gross icky FIRST boys that would only do that if we did something. We wouldn't saw no Truffle Shuffle. |

Re: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done, related to FIRST?
I'd have to say the stupidest thing that i've ever done F.I.R.S.T. would be one of two things. The first would be up at the Canadien Regional a few years ago. We were staying at a hotel that was also the staying place for a local high school ice hockey team. They called us "nerds" so we decided to get even. Long story short we amost got into a rumble with a full sized team of hockey players.
The second would have to be when I sat in a tub full of ice cubes for 5 minutes as a last minute hoorah for the nat's a few years back...still can't feel the cold below my waist...but the shock value of wearing shorts when it's 30 degres outside is priceless. |

To see someone put a piece of metal (one of those Autodesk wrist bends from Nationals) into the terminal of a battery just because it fit…
PS: The Fireworks were nice |
