I still think this would have been a much better idea...

I hope everyone will be posting pictures and stories about WoFD 2011. Can't wait to see the impact.

Who will be the first to get a picture posted on WoFD?
Most remote?
Largest group of FIRST shirts in a single picture?
Last picture posted on WoFD?

Let the celebration begin.

I almost forgot to do this tomorrow! Well, today now, actually. I think I will wear only FIRST shirts the rest of the week for the heck of it! I have plenty!

I plan on wearing a FIRST shirt Friday (probably my 33 shirt) to drum up interest for TNT.

Got my red and gold shirt on! While I don't think I'll see too many FIRSTers at my school outside my team, I'll try to keep a look out. Any San Jose people gonna wear their shirts today?

Sporting my Yellow KB mentor dress shirt.

So, apparently a bright wall of Yellow will get you a lot of attention in the office...

FINALLY decided which shirt to wear today! (It took awhile considering I brought all but 3 of my FIRST shirts to college with me.)

And today's team is..... SWAMP THING! 179!!!! (Just got this shirt this year at the Florida Regional!)

Gave a 2005 Team 48 Thursday t-shirt to a new student (former CIA 291 member) to wear - he doesn't go to Warren G. Harding High School. The t-shirt had the Harding name on it (small lettering). Turns out his school's (stupid?) policy does not permit wearing shirts sporting the names of other schools. He received detention. We both had a good laugh.

Maybe they thought the nonexistent robotics team members at his school would up and shank him for wearing another "gang"'s colors.... When you're ELITE, you're ELITE all the wayyyy.....

Hey, I'd shank you with a sharpened rivet for wearing a 48 shirt on my turf!

All joking aside, a good thing to note if this happens again would be to check with all relevant school rules. Or just wear a generic FIRST shirt.

What possible purpose could that rule even serve? Seriously?

I wish I had some 111 tie dye.... I only have some 256 shirts....

So, while no one AT work asked about FIRST I was hanging out with someone from work and they asked about FIRST. Showed them some videos, gonna try to get them to TNT this weekend and maybe get some drive time on a robot.

A bunch of us from Team 1515 wore our shirts today! (But that's partly because we always do)

Remember that we are all super-geeks in the eyes of FIRST
