Happy 1511 Day!!

[Kims Robot]

So today is 1/5/11 - three days until kickoff, but its also 1511 Day!!

It will only come once in our lifetimes (doubt I will be here for 1/5/2111, but maybe 1511 will be!) so its time to celebrate!

Team 1511 is celebrating with a party, some games & food (wish I was there!!)

So I just wanted to wish you all a Happy 1511 Day!

(And perhaps pass along the idea to celebrate YOUR team's day!!)

Happy celebration Kim, but you'll really only have to wait until 1/5/2111 to celebrate again. A century is much more doable than a millennium.

Im waiting for 2026, for 1/1/26. But november 26 seems to work every year. Unfortunately, when there are 1 days 1 hour 2 minutes and 6 seconds to the kickoff, I will probably be in school
Happy 1511 day guys! cant wait to see you at FLR this year!

[Josh Drake]

We celebrate the 343rd day of the year with cake!

Ahh very true!! My brain was foggy, and for some reason in thinking "100 years from now" I thought 3011... maybe its the whole twenty-eleven thing... I edited my post (still dont think I will make it to 2111, unless some of our FIRST kids make some major breakthroughs!)

I'm headed out for cake now!

It's been kinda fun today telling people that it was 1511 day! But the best story was when I got home from work and was shoveling the driveway (more snow!). My neighbor who works at the high school pulled in her driveway. She got out of her car and yelled "Happy Robot Day, Cynette!" That made me smile!

Little too late for 1/7/4 day. heehee.

I was wondering when this would spill out of Facebook and into ChiefDelphi...

It's also my anniversary (because I was married four years ago, the night before kickoff...)

So 1551... 1/5/2051... And also my anniversary... One wonders what the game hint will be at that time...

Our team calendar has "45 day" listed on February 14. It's the 45th day of the year. We're always too busy building a robot to observe it properly, though.

With our cake and pizza, we got a team history review. Our current Team Leader, Larry Lewis used photos and videos to take us through the 6 years of competition. Kim, you looked so young that first year! Mentors and alumni added stories from the early years, and current students chimed in on more recent years. It was actually a great way to end our pre-season with a reminder of where we've been and who we are for the new and returning students alike!

p.s. Happy Anniversary, Pat!

Enjoy your day, 1511. Unfortunately I'll be 109 years old when 1/2/74 rolls around, but that's okay. Our two high schools (and hence our two FRC teams) are set to merge in four years, so maybe I'll be celebrating on 1/2/48!

I though 15/11 came in November. Must just be me and my difficult to set dd/mm format.

Congrats to Rollling Thunder on 1511 day! Such an awesome team, I can only imagine how awesome the party was
