Hmmm.... dumb things...
Does picking a 130lb. robot with your class ring on count? Well here's a few from my team:
1) Last year, it's crunch time at regionals--the end of the first day, and our robot still barely runs. I turn around and mysteriously vanish, amidst the blare of announcements for teams needing this or that. Suddenly, between all the requests of depsarate teams comes, "Team 990 needs a miracle. If anyone can provide a miracle, please see Team 990." My entire team turned beat red as laughter rolled out of the pit areas. Let's just say I got a slug in the shoulder every day of the school year after that from one of my friends.
2) One of our guys, Aaron, shaved his hair this year, much to the dismay of his parents. Part of his punishment, apparantly, is his current lack of a go-tee. I also remember getting the steam room at the AZ Best Western up to 150 degrees... I also remember jumping between the swimming pool (about 55 degrees) and the jakoozi (about 110 degrees). Of course, I had to spend about 15 minutes in the pool when the good looking girls showed up. No one wants to look like a wimp...
3) I lifted my friend Glenn up on my shoulders to look for someone. Keep in mind this is in the pit area among many people walking.
4) Our Physics Teacher, Mr. Johnson, as soon as our robot caught on fire at the end of a match. He was stomping on the afflicted hardware before the refs had a clue what was going on. It turned out that a cable came lose when we flippled on our back (the radio cable), shorted, and caught fire. No major damage, and the wire sat proudly displayed in our pit area for the rest of regionals. When one (of many) teams asked us if we needed anything, I piped up "an oven mitt." That was pretty hilarious.
5) I'm not sure if this was a good idea or not, but a couple of my roommates at the hotel, while perusing through the contents of my laptop, found a rather large folder (or at least they don't remember Mechwarrior 3 taking up a gig of hard drive space), and decided to investigate. I won't get into details as to what the rest of the night entailed for the four of us room mates, but the discussion of fluid flowrates and tissue tension was hit on quite a few times (as the material in question starts with an H and ends with a TAI), as were many other topics of anatomical realism. Ah, our physics teacher would be proud. Well, sort of. The dumb thing in all of this being me bringing my laptop. Imagine someone finding that at the regionals event.
