This was not funny and a lot of people here got
very upset by the news.

I second the vote to ban!
If that is the consensus of the FIRST community, then I agree to abide by it.

And I enoyed the prank. Good job Joe Ross! I will be very wary come April 1st now, though
April 1st is too obvious

We all had a good laugh, but some people got mad at Dr. Joe for it. I guess this is one of the not-the-best-thing-you-can-learn-from-Dr.Joe... A bad tradition to pass on I suppose.
here is Dr. Joe's thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ohnson+em ail

I should have learned the first time... It's amazing how things come back to you really quickly.

Quote:
Nice work, though. I just hope FIRST doesn't have to do to much work answering angry emails...
I honestly hope so too. That was not the intent of this, in the least.

Quote:
What a great joke... think that it distracts from the overall role of FIRST....
that's so hilarious
There are people that think that. I don't personally, but there have been discussions about it on these forums before.

Quote:
absolutely brilliant- just don't do it again.
I can guarantee that I won't

p.s. I just hope your team never needs any more funding from NASA/JPL...
How come no one informed me that a team in Rochester, NY could get funding from JPL? Oh, well, there goes that opportunity

You can always tell the oldest; they are the only ones cruel enough to try somethin like that
ouch

Quote:
BTW Joe, there are a few BeachBots who are still wondering whether to be mad at you for involving us or not. Personally I take the position that there is no such thing as bad publicity, just be sure you spell the name right.
wait, did I misspell a name somewhere?

Quote:
Yeah you got me good, when I saw it @ 6am I almost wet myself.
That was not something I needed to know.

Quote:
I find it extremely rude... if Cornell is somehow affected by this and it acts negatively upon our team, I'd like some words with the [edit]person[/edit] who thought this was funny.
You may come visit me. I will be in Rochester (about an hour away from you) starting Nov. 30th. If anyone else would like to have a personal word with me, I will be in LA until then. You can also contact me via AIM, or e-mail, both of which are listed.








To all the people who were affected by this, I am sorry. I truly did not expect for this to have the impact that it did. It was meant to be an innocent joke, and unfortunately, it was blown way beyond what I thought it would. I have apologized to FIRST.

Once the cat is out of the bag, it isn't possible to get it back in, at least not without sustaining injury.
