Songs

So with the 2013 season coming, what songs will be on the playlist while working on the robot?

Last year, our team alternated between a dub-step playlist (the kids' favorite) and a smooth jazz playlist (the teachers' favorite). I don't see that changing much.

For us, it was a combination of classic rock, and electronic (TyDi, Avicii, Tiesto, deadmau5, etc.) Although music can sometimes be a distraction, and there are times when I personally prefer it not be played.

I'm a smooth jazz fan. I wonder what would happen if I tried to play some...

Probably a lot of Gangnam Style!

We're sharing a site with two other teams that could total 150 people in one build area. It's not very likely there will be ANY music playing at all. If I do listen to music it will be with my own headphones with a heavy does of Pendulum, Freestylers, Knife Party, Deadmous5, She, Paramore, Garbage and Foo Fighters.

To edit what my team mate Emmett had said, on the weekends we had smooth jazz saturday and saturday, but we also allowed people to have their playlists added and played. Music is something that makes pop riveting go a little bit faster

For us its mostly Coldplay, Muse, and/or Hans Zimmer at meetings.

Well I want to listen to the radio usually, which 99.9% of the time would be "The Only New Rock Alternative, 89X!" From Detroit/Windsor. And I would say listen to "Dave and Chuck the Freak"... but... well they quit :'( Every Detroit area teams will now what I'm talking about.

Last year we usually listened to Skrillex, or Klaypex (which we put in a few of our season videos) a fare bit, or some other Dubstep, but when the mentor's are in the room we would commonly switch it to some kind of Rock.

We've always had a computer with Pandora or Youtube running, and students will change playlists/stations occasionally. This probably will not change.

Someone should create a playlist!

Well for me my playlist will be mostly Dubstep

[mlantry]

Usually we listen to a classic rock station on the radio when we do listen to music with some occasional dub step mixed in

[dictionaria13]

Our team's programmers usually have iTunes running on their laptops, so we get a lot of dubstep, with a little bit of metal and rap mixed in. Don't see that changing this year.

Every Queen album.Ever.

We also include R&B and Rap for those members of our team who enjoy that, and some pop for others.

But yeah, much Queen will be played.

And "Let's get down to Business" (Mulan soundtrack) That is a great track for inspiring your team members to build robots.
