Re: Most Unlikely Places You've Found FRC People

I suppose it's not exactly unlikely, but I still find it funny:

I've set aside Wednesdays outside of build season this year to be a night off from robotics, when my husband (also a mentor) and I can go play games at one of our local game shops. Of course, I got into a conversation about robots with my opponent, and somebody at the next table over asked me "I hear you talking about robots and CNC... do you do FIRST?"

Turns out that our day off from robotics is actually our day of hanging out with another local lead mentor.

I met a FIRST volunteer at an ice cream competition in the historic center of my town. She was wearing the big plastic merch earrings.

I was in the vendor area at DefCon this summer (24K people at a hacker conference) and talked with someone wearing a Stronghold shirt. His son, a team member, was there.

Re: Most Unlikely Places You've Found FRC People

I got a new one.

This week, I was at Oracle's OpenWorld conference (their major developers conference with 60,000+ attendees) demoing our robot and presenting the robotics team. While there, I happened to meet the dad of a student on Team 766, which was a pretty chance occurrence considering the amount of people there!

Panic! At The Disco and Weezer concert in Toronto. I saw the 5406 Celt-X logo on the back of the green sweater from all the way down the train platform.

Saw someone wearing a Citrus Circuits shirt at ACL today. I didn't get a chance to jump up and say something, but if you're reading this, greetings from CT!

Re: Most Unlikely Places You've Found FRC People

At a 4th of July parade in Philadelphia, I saw an entire float dedicated to Team 4575. It honestly never occurred to me that I would see a team at that time an place.

Re: Most Unlikely Places You've Found FRC People

I just got home from doing stuff and saw someone in my neighborhood wearing a 3176 sweatshirt. If it's who I think it is, they have a CD account. Don't want to mention a name though because I might be wrong.
