Anyway, who won this? I'd like to see what they said, I watched alot of the alliance selection. I'd also like to see the runner-ups if possible. I'm glad someone did this, before I started to sleep through the thing, it always seemed to structured.

Re: Championship alliance picking & accepting contest

Team 118 on Curie had a pretty nice acceptance with their astronaut mascot. Unfortunately, I didn't see any of the other alliance selections. I hope Andy got my shirt for the winner, I dropped it off at the 45 pit on Saturday morning, right as they were walking out to the field.

Re: Championship alliance picking & accepting contest

From what I was told by other members of my team we were voted the best for Galileo and recieved a "Shift Happens" T-shirt, and that 118 was the overall winner.

Our acceptance was "A pig famer once told me it is impossible to graciously accept, therfore team 1902 gracefully accepts," and our representatvie then proceed to dance around 173's rep. (Thanks again for the selection RAGE!)

I can vouch for the 118 win - dude in a spacesuit doing an absolutely horrible JFK impression of his "we choose to go to [Einstein] not because it is easy, but because it is hard" quote - priceless.

Come on, it wasn't that horrible...

It beat out "that's one small step for a robot...."

Re: Championship alliance picking & accepting contest

Team 107 had a really good who wants to be a millionaire acceptance speech. I think it went like this. announcer says "do you accept?" and she says "thats good question and I could do two things, ask the audience or phone a friend. But I say yes and that is my final answer!" I thought it was pretty funny!

Re: Championship alliance picking & accepting contest

I would like to nominate the 177 acceptance to team 190 on Newton. It was certainly the only non-traditional acceptance on the field, though I can't vouch for other fields.

177 Newton Acceptance

Re: Championship alliance picking & accepting contest

On Galileo... 1902's acceptance of "A pig famer once told me it is impossible to graciously accept, therfore team 1902 gracefully accepts" ... wins for that division.

On Newton, 148 was the winner. I don't know exactly what they said, but the two judges on that field had them down as the winner. Seeing their performance in St. Louis, I don't doubt that they had a creative acceptance.

On Archimedes, team 107 takes the win, with their "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" acceptance speech.

And... the winner on Curie, along with being the overall winner was the spaceman from 118. "We choose to go to [Einstein] not because it is easy, but because it is hard".

Each of those 4 students will get AndyMark t-shirts (to be shipped), and 118 will win the t-shirt and mp3 player.

Congrats and great effort to all.

Andy B.

I thought 177's was more original, but 148's was cuter.

Re: Championship alliance picking & accepting contest

Congratulations and thank you to the teams who dared to be original!

I'm not great at coming with things on the spot...yet. It's a working progress.

And thank you to 118, who made it really fun to be on the Curie field during alliance selection.

Re: Championship alliance picking & accepting contest

1902's little dance was... interesting, to say the least

We had a couple little raps written up the night before (I see you riiiinnnggiinnn, up on that rack), but our representative was so flustered after almost not even being picked that doing a song was the last thing on his mind.

[off-topic] It was certainly strange:
a) being picked before 217
b) seeing 217's rep sitting there for such a long time

On the bright side, it'll probably be a long time before that happens again

[on-topic]
I wasn't about to go out on a limb, it's hard enough for me just to say "116 enthusiastically accepts" correctly.
(braces for impact)
