i think it is ehhhhh caus 2 years ago at epcot one of our members was canadian, and we went through an entire discussion on what eh meant, so we said eh to everyone we saw in the parks on the last day.

and did anyone hear the WOOO WHOOOOOOooPs?(and drawn out "wah waH wAH WAH" (increasing in speed and volume as you go) our team and a guy from 225 (i think) were doing it at JnJ and Nats. specially in the long halls to and from the arena.

o yea and we didnt have the speakers or lights on our cart this year so we made our own techno with our voices, like spit noises, clapping ect. on the way to our matches.

we were one of the original starters of the eh.... back then it was eh as in canada.... you can often hear our team yell canada also... although we are not from canada it is an inside joke because everyone thinks we are, our school district being called West Ottawa and all. Anyways, yeah that was a blast..

Great Lakes was good this year, and yes, it is Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

During the Visteon pictures (all teams sponsored by Visteon at GLR got pictures together)....

Everyone: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
470: Oooooooooooooooooooooo
(We are Alpha Omega, or AO) Then for the rest of the pictures all of us were yelling Aaaaaaaaaa Oooooooooo.. good times.


According to people on my team, they started it. Making fun of another member who would always mutter "ehhhh" then it developed from there.. who knows, not me.

I'm not sure who started it, and my team has already made their claim, but even if we didn't start it, we sure did take it to an extreme last year. It really got out of hand at Epcot last year. Anybody who saw us would yell AAAA! and of course, we'd have to yell back louder. At Great Lakes last year, our team even managed to drown out a drum corp. With voices. And we are NOT a big team. If you remember the busses at Epcot, that was us. If you rode the monorail for any length of time, you ran into us, with our corny jokes, box full of buttons, cheers and flags. Good Times.
Our team got yelled at by one of the buss drivers for being "too loud" (Is there really such a thing?). Team Rush has taken to using AAAAAA as a running joke in their team, or so we have been told. Unfortuneatly, we didn't have quite as much volume this year, with all our officers of last year leaving. But, I don't care who does it, just so long as it continues.......


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I and a few other of my teammates tried getting some good "AAAAAAAAAAA"s out of people leaving 6Flags. Some groups responded quite well, others just gave us weird looks. I'm quite disappointed that I never got that 'verbal wave' going at the stadium. It would have been pretty neat hearing "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" echoing all throughout Nats.

I really don't think it matters if it's "Aaaa," "Heyyy," or "Eeehhhh."


The point is: The culture of FIRST is the most fun, interactive, wonderful culture there is. I wish I could get as emotional as that girl from 159 did about it.

Yup. It went something like this:

RO: Okay, at the count of three, everyone say "To Infinity and Beyond!" 1... 2... 3...

[silence]

RO: 3!

[cricket's chirping]

RO: Come one everyone -- "To Infinity and Beyond!"

[tumbleweed rolls by]

Someone: Heyyyyyyyyyyy!

The RO finally gave up and launched us.

On another note, I was one of 3 members of 190 who were on the morning plane with Team 125, and I tried to start a "Heyyyyyyy" when the captain made the announcement about them, but no one responded, and I just looked like an idiot. Oh well.

We were talking to some of 783's members (they're Canadian), and some of our team was making fun of them. Someone yelled out "eh," and then everyone else began. Then, someone on 783 (don't remember who) yelled out "B?" They got to "F," and then complained that the "Imperial Alphabet" was confusing them. Good times in Houston.

I always associated "AAAAAAA" with our sister Visteon team, 862, (good times at GLR) So it was kinda weird saying it in Houston without them. Felt like I was cheating on them. Sorry guys.

I'm not sure who exactly started but I remember we did it the most last year... We didn't hear any other teams do it(last year that is)... It started with us and Rocky(203) last year in New Jersey(at Rutgers)... We use to say it to teammates, then the Rocky mascot, and then just other teams... and it's "EH" (Canadian)...

(The above is completly false and is just poking fun at the people who say they started, becasue we will never know where it came from, so stop trying to say you started it)

Ackkk Im scared
Im reading this thread and I am thinking to myself," Hmmm It sounds like my friend Will but he is not in robotics. Isn't that creepy?" Then when I read "good times" I think to myself,"Thats even scarier he says that all the time. It has to be from a show."
Its really funny since he also has quite a few people he knows doing it including myself.

I think it came from a movie or show. It just goes to show you that all smart geeky people are physic because we all come up with the same corny jokes.

lmao. That's hella funny.

I sort of agree with you there. I mean, HOW many people have claimed they have started it? What if 20 completely different teams thought it up on their own?? And then everyone else just caught on at Nats?? I really doubt we'll ever find out for sure!
