Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

I was in Seaside OR a couple of weeks ago, while on a vacation road trip with my family throughout Oregon and Washington. One of my sons said 'Mom, you're slipping. Someone with a FIRST shirt just went into that hotel. I think it was a 300 number."

I did not follow them. Otherwise I would be posting in the "been in FIRST too long" thread...

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

I was on a flight Wednesday July 12 from San Francisco to Dallas and I saw someone ahead of me with a shirt that said Robotics on it.

I was going to ask if he was on a FIRST team but he was with his family and a fwe seats ahead of me.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

hehe
I was at LABC this week for camp and I spied this kid:

I ran up and asked for a picture of his shirt for proof... poor kid was terrified. Turns out his friend gave him the shirt.

Met a FIRST robotics person over the internet, through a mutual friend. More interesting is I didn't learn he was FIRST until three years later

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

I met some of my old schoolmates from Miami Florida at the World Championship event in Atlanta. I moved from Miami, Florida to Gainesville Virginia about 4 years ago and I hadn't seen any of my friends from Miami since I left.

It was a real treat hanging out with them again in the Atlanta Dome.

It's amazing how much different people can look after 4 years

I guess you could say that's flipped... meeting odd people in FIRST places

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

I had a couple unlikely FIRST encounters over my summer vacation this year.

The first was at a pageant in upstate NY that my church puts on each year that my family was involved with. There was a cast of more than 600, so I obviously didn't know everyone there. As I was standing in the lunch line one day, I noticed that a kid in front of me had a FIRST shirt on - some 500s number I think. I talked to him for a little bit, it was pretty cool.

The second one was possibly even less likely. I was at an activity with my boy scout troop at a remote cabin in the mountains of Idaho that one of our leaders owns. The uncle and cousin of a different one of my leaders just happened to live in the area, and came up for shooting and motorcycling a couple of days. Turns out the cousin was a member of team 1839. I probably saw him at some point in Portland, but I didn't recognize him.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

I saw a mentor for team 330 (he was wearing his shirt) walking out of the Dollar Tree (a local thrift shop) and into VONS about 2 weeks ago, but he was gone before I even was done parking so I couldn't said hi....

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

i was at Six Flags Magic Mountain,and i saw a robotics shirt in line for Scream waaay ahead of me, just to make sure, i ran up and read the shirt more closely, tapped the girl on the back, and was like," WOW youre on a FIRST team too?!?!?!" and she was like, " uh my brother is" oh well.

haha.


& i was at my design summer program, when this girl asked for my myspace, she walked into class the next day and said," WE'RE BOTH IN ROBOTICS, that is SOO COOL" .i thought it was pretty funny

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

I was at iD Tech Camp last week, taking the Programming v2.0 course for programming in C++ and/or Java. There was a kid in my class from 293. His name was Chris, I believe.

I was a bit surprised I didn't meet some more people from FIRST there, but it really opens yours eyes to how many high schools there are that still don't have teams.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

OK so maybe it isn't really a FIRST person but it is kinda like one. My Science Professor at Columbia has a grey ponytail. Of course he is nothing like Woodie (my teacher kinda scares me and my fellow classmates) but anyone with a grey ponytail is awesome in my eyes.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

Well, I've been at ND well over one month now and, just last night, I found out that one of the girls who is on the novice rowing team with me was also in FIRST in high school - she was from team 141, the Wobots from Holland, MI. From then on, we spent the rest of dinner reliving old robotics memories

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

I was on a plane to london and i saw some kid with a FIRST shirt on, turns out he had the seat next to me on the plane....when i asked him about his team it was awkward because he told me "this is my brothers shirt" lol but it was still cool we talked about robotics for about 2 hours into the flight before it began awkward conversations so i started watching a movie...i forgot the team tho
