OMG!! I remember that! It was soo funny!

Well I have always wanted to make the guy say "Team 589 needs a power cable capable of 1.21 Jigowatts"

I heard wrong one time where I thought he said:
"Team XXX needs a cuban metal pipe"
When it really was:
"Team XXX needs a cube metal pipe"

I have also heard:
"ahhhh , nevermind"

at Philly (i don't know if anyone has already said this) the pit announcer said. "if you can't hear me, send a representative"

At Toronto I heard this:

"Team 4 needs a robot"

Later on.... "Team 4 would like a Chassis and/or Drivetrane"




For those of you who haven't heard already, Team 4's robot didn't make it to the Toronto regional on thursday so they built an entirely new robot in 6 hours!

On Thursday at Toronto, team 229 had the Pit Announcer (1511's own Ashley Cheney at the time) announce that "Team 229 is in need of a Flux Capacitor."

On Saturday we had the new announcer say that, "Team 229 is in need of some DI-lithium crystals in order to run the Flux Capacitor that was graciously donated by team 121."

when I was at Philly The announcer said " there will be no grinding in the pits" he turned and some kids start dancing and and got back on the speaker and added "of any sort" ( i dont know maby its not that funny, you probably had tt be there)

At the GTR one of the strangest request I heard was " Team XXXX needs a blow dryer" but, it turns out that the robot got water damage and they need to try all the electrical parts. The control board got fried when they turn the robot on the first time though.

At VCU there was the enormous block of foam. The announcements telling the responsible party to get "what appears to be a huge block of foam" out of the stands got pretty funny after a while. Of course, you had to be there to know really what I'm talking about.
