Go to Post I think it's great the way people involved in FIRST always try so hard not to argue. It's a good sign that all the talk of Gracious Professionalism is working. - BaldwinNYRookie [more]

Re: Practical Jokes in FIRST

This year, my team's robot's drivetrain is extremely quiet. One of our team members slowly sneaked it right behind a mentor who was talking so that they'd jump when they turned around.

I've always wanted to man the gun so when someone's holding the box or something for the robot to dump in, I tap the long range button and pelt them in the face with an orbit ball

Re: Practical Jokes in FIRST

haha that's a pretty good one... the offseason after overdrive we did some work on our robot to improve it before IRI and just to make it more presentable. well, I decided to bring my dog to some of these meetings to cheer up my teammates and my dog... the dog ended up chasing the robot around and then when the robot turned around ran away from it. it was great!

Re: Practical Jokes in FIRST

Night before ship, 2007. 1618 had most of the robot done, but had yet to weigh it. Another mentor and I crammed the robot (then called What Robot?--the Uppercut name didn't come about until Palmetto) into the back of my Honda and drove a couple of miles up the road to 1293's shop. They work out of a shipping warehouse, which means they've got a scale good for weighing robots. We put the robot on the scale and find it to be ridiculously underweight--98 pounds--and I snapped a picture as proof. We then decide to pull one on the rest of the team, so I put my foot on the scale and press down a bit to push it up to about 126--enough to cause mild panic the night before ship, but not enough to sound implausible--and snapped a second picture. They bought it hook, line, and sinker until I showed them the first photo.

Re: Practical Jokes in FIRST

My best practical joke involved Team 48, GTR and April 1.

See Travis for his side.

Re: Practical Jokes in FIRST

A good way to freak someone out is to get 2 or 3 people to walk up to someone, and with a straight face start saying, "seriously? really? You couldn't just take care of it? For real? I can't... Man, seriously?" and just keep saying those things. It was really fun when we did it to people in the morning before we left for a trip.
