i was at this event and it was so amazing how the superstar of robotics showed up. i got him to sign my hat and he walked through our pit! that pumped up the energy in the room sooo much.

I love how at the Ann Arbor competition it looked like a celebrity was there from the long lines waiting for his autograph! I know I waited at least a half hour to get him to sign my shirt and our team's white triangle.

This is one of my favorite pictures ever. Did Dean wear it for the rest of the competition, or did he take it off?


(Also, Jim, is that black gaffer's tape holding your skirt on? o.O)

I wonder what influenced the GDC to call it the uber-tube this year as I look at that uber-tube skirt.

He took it off rather quickly. When he was signing foreheads and countless other things, he wasn't wearing it.

Jim was rocking his tube skirt! Dean's got a thing or two to learn, it seems.

Jim, this is why everyone loves you.

OK, among other reasons.... but this is definitely up there.

It takes a dedicated MC to wear a skirt!

One member of our team who everyone calls "ubertube" (or "Übertube") wore an ubertube up to get an award with our team. I don't know if the judges looked at him funny or anything though.

Check the Waterford pics. Some of us are horizontally challenged and wore them around the neck. Lobster anyone ?

I left instructions on the judges table that said "wear as skirt or cape"...after I had briefly tried the night before to put on a triangle. Maybe I was doing something wrong, because it didn't fit.

It takes a mans man to wear a skirt... or at least a 573 man

I was especially entertained when Jim was calling us down for an award and he said "this team combines two skir... SCHOOLS"

I wish I had a picture of it, but at SBPLI, 358's drive team wore blue morph suits amd tube skirts all weekend

Yes, that is gaffer tape holding my skirt up.
The tubes are "one size fits all" and are not really my size.
I did not want to have a wardrobe malfunction while running around on the field.
