Lets see, I met some TechnoKats at a christian music festival in kentucky, it was pretty cool. I wear my FIRST crew shirt whenever I go anywhere and I usually run into at least one FIRSTer. We are a secret cult. =)

Heh. You can probably count both Bill and me in on that, too. You aren't alone.

Yeah, what Jim said. We used to possibly pass off as twins, but there are very distinct differences in our appearances now.

I’ve met all sorts of FIRST people in random places. Over spring break, I went to Puerto Rico. Our plane home was late in arriving so I started talking to some of the other people that were waiting. I started talking about FIRST, and it turns out one of the kids was on team 869. Then another time I was at the King of Prussia mall in PA and I met a kid from team 371. And this summer at smart camp(that sounds kind of geeky…) I met an alumnus from team 571, as well as students from 293 and 708. Together we ended up convincing a bunch of kids to join their schools’ FIRST teams. It was fun .

No, they look rather diffrent. Bill has this thing that sticks out from his forhead. (Mayhaps that why they call him Bill)

I don't think I've run into FIRST people that I didn't know in wierd places, but I do run into people I know.

I did run into Wailua's robot at the Honolulu airport last summer, but it was in a display case in the terminal. It was very random.

I saw a kid in Walmart wearing a FIRST shirt once. He didn't look like he was having the best day, though, so I used my 'finer judgment' and kept walking. I also bumped into the Team 303 advisor in the local Barnes and Noble a few months back.

FIRST and Latin

When I went to National Latin Convention this year at Trinity University, I wore my robotics shirt one of the days. I had a decent amount of people come up to me about it and we started talking. To think...Robotics geeks are also Latin Nerds...
That's FUNNY... At our school, this year our team's Teacher IS the school's Latin teacher. If some of his students join the team, I'll bet we'll end up with a cool Latin team slogan this year...

(Last year, our Teacher was from the Math department, who became too busy to do it this year. We don't even HAVE a metal/wood shop at the school right now, so getting "the shop teacher" to work with the students isn't an option.)

OBThreadRef: I ran into a FIRST person from another city on a bus once who was wearing a team shirt. I'm often approached when I'm out of town if I happen to wear any kind of FIRST related clothing or jacket. There's so many teams now, if you wear a team shirt on vacation trips, you're bound to meet another FIRSTer (FIRSTite? FIRSTian?), or general robotics fan, and have a nice conversation.

I went to our first football game tonight, against Titusville, and the head cheerleading coach has a neice on Commbat, 21, and we were talking about it, you know apparently they have a 'sign up sheet' in what was it, breeze hallway?, which never actually appeared, it was quite odd...I could only of imagined the game in Commbat was there..

Once when I was working as a Camera-Man for the Easter Bunny set at Oakland Mall here in SE Michigan, I saw someone with a TNT shirt on. I yelled out the team number, but he didn't turn.

I guess that's not really meeting per say.. but still.

Along with Jeff I was on campus for Band Camp for the week and was spending time with a bum knee on the sidelines. One of the other girls with a bad knee, Jess, used to be on 87 and her boyfriend (a tuba player) has a ton of friends on 102.

Also, my high school's principal was originally a teacher/student council advisor/principal at 102's high school before Hightstown.

small world.

Though I am not sure this is a "FIRST person" I did meet someone who works in Princeton Plasma Physics Labs that graduated from WPI and helped out with the FIRST team they sponsor. Her former high school also now has a team.

Six Flags

While in line for the Raging Bull with 1064's Kevin (formerly 71) someone from a team around the area spotted my 2001 championship shirt. I can't remember who he was or what team he hailed from. We talked to him for a while and came back to bug him after the ride. I think it made all of our days except for the fact that I finally got to ride V2 and Deja Vu.
