Also at the GLR...I got really excited about the last 5 seconds of our team's match...I screamed some random thing out...even I don't remember what it was... ...I got some strange looks from my team...and the teams around us...
And I Quote:
"Melissa, Honestly, was that English? It sounded like you said something else..."

At UTC I took out the 40 amp breakers in the pit because we were simultaneously working on the wheels and testing the other systems. We all wondered why the robot wouldn't move at all during our next match while the other systems worked, until I remembered about the breakers. We lost the match miserably.

Ahh! I have to tell you something that may not have been stupid, but it shure was funny!

My friends Alex, Kendra and I went to the Phoenix regional and we decided to use the back way to get to the pit. So, we had to walk around a halllway, and the openings to the stadium were called portals. So, being the dorks that we are, we decided that every time we had go to the stands we said in a very dark, sinister voice, "We have to go through Portal 8!" and we even went so far as to add warp holes. It was like space travel!

haha

Words of advice.... Don't go walking through the streets of Manchester wearing tye-dye(from head to foot), with two hundred buttons on and with two kids with bright green shirts and cow pants... People look at you funny...

Pin Man, I'm the only person at my school (2400 kids) on the robotics team. The school that the team is really at only has about 200 kids. I came to school today with my team shirt on, safety glasses, and my multiple robotics necklaces (screw on a string, zip-ties put together, a string of beads from 668, and the medal for being SVR finalists). I got lots of funny looks but I don't care. I'm the type of person that gets funny looks regularly.

Being bored at one time, I took out some of my Technic Legos that I had for quite a while, and constructed Gearboxes and Transmissions just to see how they would work even though I only have one programmed motor that requires 2 AA batteries and one two-button controlled motor that requires 6 AA batteries to operate. The two-button controlled motor no longer works anymore, but oh well. In addition to that, I stayed up until midnight constructing them in my closet until I had insufficient gears. This is probably the dumbest, dumbest, dumbest thing I've ever done so far compared to my previous post.

hmmm

i must say that walking through central city philly with bright green shirts and doing moe cheers on a plane to florida definitely draws stares and questions... i think the bright green attracts drunk philadelphians... i was walking with some of my friends from 316 and my team, and we got in an interesting conversation with drunk people...mostly about the weather though. hehe 30th street station was always an interesting experience with green hair, hats, shirts, nail polish, and belts with tools all over them as well as a billion buttons, and... MOE sticks...hmmmm

Re: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done, related to FIRST?

Back in the day that our team was #465 (2001) I put a HUGE gash in our 36 inch ball. I put it down walked away and never told any one. I can only say this now because I am one of two members of the team that is still around today.

Unhappy Re: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done, related to FIRST?

just today i was up at my high school when there were no teachers and i accidentally popped the big ball that was given to us in the kit... you see i was taking it out of the room that we store our parts in and i put a small hole in it... thinking that masking tape might fix the problem i repared the hole. then so that nobody would notice i tried to reinflate the ball and.....


pop

thats when i figured that people would notice

i'll get a pic of the ball (or whats left) up soon...
