Because, even if you don't go into a Science, Technology, or Engineering career (as is the whole (original) basis if FIRST) when you grow up, you will still need to know how to socially interact.>

Trust me.

It's so funny u said that cause thats exactly what i am doing (B) taking to much in and running away it is amazing that somepeople would do stuff like this i have never used a pick up line in all the years i have been dating just the girls(not to sound big headed ) come to me for some odd reason.

OMG! This thread is still going? Geez, the last time I checked was in 2003. whoa.....

I haven't had any learn-too-much-and-run-away-screaming experiences with any girl that I've ever talked to. The key is to have patience, gotta always listen to what they have to say.

Here is one I'd suggest using:

"Is your name Gillette? Because you look like the best a man can get!"

okay, this happened to my pit-mate at buckeye this weekend:

while scouting, a guy asks for her name (which was acceptable and expected) and then goes "question number 15, whats your number?"
the sad part was, she gave it to him

The following content is taken from the Friarbot.com stories page. I wasn't on the team when it happened, but by all accounts it was quite horrifying. See for yourself.

The following is a sad, sad story about Dan Pall's attempt at a pickup line at the 2003 Chesapeake Regional, related to us by Dan himself.

At FIRST Regional Competitions, certain teams are known to send around the cool, hip members of their teams on activities I like to call "spy runs." A spy run entails these cool people walking from table to table and prying scouting information about other teams' robots out of their competing teams. Of course, we Malvern roboticists are always happy to provide information in the spirit of Gracious Professionalism. Sometimes, though, we like to have a little fun...as evidenced by this exchange which took place at the 2003 Annapolis Regional with a couple of female scouts from another, nameless team...

Female Scout #1: So, can you tell us what your robot does?
THE John Kelly (speaking like a redneck) : Well, this here bot uses two drill motors to drive four same-size wheels. Each motor runs a shaft on each side of the bot; we go fast and we go straight. We herd boxes using this here cow prod, and we lay down the law, girls.
Female Scout #2: Um...that's nice. I guess (sideways look at her friend). Anyway, how fast does your robot go at max speed?"
Dan Pall: Well, girls, let's just say this: if you hear a sonic boom...that's our robot. (winks at Female Scout #2, who proceeds to glance at her friend, giggle a bit, and then run like a bat out of hell)

With this incredibly dorky attempt at a pick-up line, Dan Pall became one of the dorkiest geek-nerds in the history of nerd-dom. Several onlookers, including the late, great Alex Raynor, died of shock and awe on the spot, after viewing this pithy attempt to woo a woman. Attempts to measure his level of nerdity resulted in infinite readings on the patented Dork-O-Meter 6000. Attempts to charm girls since this fiasco have resulted in slaps to the face far too numerous to count.

[Arrowsmith]

Well, at least he had the courage to try, and isn't that what counts?

[Simon Strauss]

at the NYC regional this year a bunch of us(actually just me and a programmer) decided that we were going to pick up a girl for one of the guys on the team. We actually got a girl on team 334 interested in him but when she came over to our pit he ran away.

I've never actually had a pickup line used on me at a competition, but that'd be cute. I think it would make my day. I know that at least with me, if you use a cheesy pickup line, but know its cheesy, thats really cute and a good starter.

[Dorienne]

Oh ew, I got one from some dude on a rookie team.

I was trying to tell everyone about VIP tours, because we needed people to give them at Chesapeake. So I was telling RAGE and this rookie team about it...and this guy looked up and said "Hey, where is the meeting being held?"
I pointed behind me at the table and said "Over there."
He said "I don't know that I'll be able to find it."
I said "You'll find your way don't worry."
He looked at me with this coy smile and said "Well, can I have your number just in case?"

Oy. >_<;

I'm just curious if anyone has ever tried this (as it seems so obvious): "You wanna be my alliance partner." Anyone who says that to me or one of my teammates in Atlanta gets a (theoretical and purely non-tangible) cookie

I can get a cookie? SWEET!! wait... they're not real? FALSE ADVERTISING!!!! I had this person on team 229 who said his nickname was "Bubba." give me a sheet of paper with his phone number and address on it and then he actually did say, "You want to be my alliance partner?" I could've thrown him out the nearest window if they weren't on ground level at the Buckeye Regional...

Okay, if someone actually tries it on me...I'll see if there's somewhere at the site where I can buy them the cookie (a real one)
