For the last 2 years we have Painted a moustache on one of our engineers. It all started because we were painting our logo on the crate, the night before shipment. One of us said hey lets go paint one of our engineers! So we went and got some of the big guys on our team to hold him down and paint on a moustache.

To bad I dont have pics!

We haven't done anything funny this year but we did have a funny thing happen.
We have an exchange student, from Italy, on our team. She is a big asset to our team. She really knows her way around a shop.
One day she brought in one of those throw away cameras. She finished taking all her pictures than she proceeded to take the camera apart to get the film out. She didn't understand that you take the whole camera in to get the film developed. So here she is with the camera disassembled and was looking at the inards. One of the engineers started to say "Be careful what you touch, you may get..." ZAP!!! She dropped the camera in a hurry. She had touched the flash capacitor that had about 400 volts stored. After that she wouldn't go any where near the camera
So when you see Mercedes at the regioinals and Nats, ask her about throw away cameras.
Just don't tell her that I told you this

At our final build session at our machinist's house, all work suddenly stopped when an ice cream truck drove by. All of a sudden, we had 10 high school students chasing this poor ice cream truck driver down the street. Many of us dropped out, because we were short of breath from laughing so hard. Finally, after about four blocks, the driver finally saw us and stopped. Ice cream always tastes better when you work for it.

Then, of course, there was the time someone tried to carry a can of oil paint on their head...

Oh, and I've done that thing with the flash too. I was on a school trip in eighth grade, and decided to take the camera apart when all of a sudden, I noticed that I had two small pits in my hand and was curled up in a fetal position on the floor of the bus. I shook it off and continued my work on the camera when I suddenly got shocked again. This time, I didn't black out, and was able to feel the full pain of that AA sized capacitor. I still have the 4 scars to prove it. Those things are dangerous! I recently took another one apart (wearing rubber gloves), and purposely shorted out the cap with a friends metal palm pilot stylus to drain it. Needless to say, there are now two sizable holes in his stylus.

:::looks around sheepishly::: Yea... I did the exact same thing... lovely little scar on my finger, right next to the scar what the caliper bit me... (Last year a team mate yelled "Katie, catch!" and I stuck my hand out not realizing he had thrown a prtially OPEN caliper at me until the last second... the caliper hit my hand and left two nifty lil' scars... anyway) Yea, I was, like, 13 and decided to open the camera. I didn't think anything in there could shock me - then suddenly I couldn't move and was on the ground going "What the.." - needless to say, I haven't opened a disposable camera since!

Yeah the exact same thing happened to me at last years Boy Scout national jamboree. Everyone on my bus had atleast 3 disposable cameras each. The entire time all they did was shock people who fell asleep or on the back of there neck. It was pretty funny, 45 crazy teenage boys running around shocking eachother to hell.

when we got locked in!!!!

This may be the most funny of all! We were working late. When we decided to leave, we realized that we had locked the key in the supply/lathe room. We needed this key to unlock the main robotics room to get out. All i can say is that it's good i had my leatherman knife or else we would have been trapped!

------In the picture-------
here we are trying to take the hinge pins out. Nobody knows i took this picture.

What about asking someone to get you a file sharpener? Or maybe a hammer to unbend glass sheets?

fog machine? great idea!

So here is the plan. Big show and tell for the sponsors. Let'do it fancy. Put the robot in the shipping crate with some strobe lights. And let's use a fog machine to make an even more dramatic entrance. Oh, and let's do this indoors.
Hey our kids aren't crazy. Let's test everything to make sure it all works.
Did you know that fog machines set off smoke detectors? You know the kind that only the fire department can turn off. Loud alarms so you can not possibly stay in the building.
Lucky for us the fire department was gone before the sponsors showed up.

Knocking into them with large pieces of wood as you are walking by can do it too...
And then the fire department may not know excatly how to turn it off right away...
And when you are working at 2am and lights are on and there are a buch of kids in the building with a coupple of adults, the cop doing the rounds might wonder whats going on...and be even more confused when 5 tired kids try to explain to him what we are doing and about FIRST and the compition...
