Why does the shirt say 216.173.227.141, when there's nothing there, even if InnovationFIRST, Vexlabs, Rack Solutions, and IFI are all at that IP?

Also, where was this? I didn't see any of these shirts all weekend.

I saw someone walking around in a "There's no place like 216.173.227.141" shirt, but I assumed it was a team shirt. I, too, am baffled by it's reference.

yep they were free but you needed to add your email to an intellitek mailing list or somehing of that sort.

It was an IFI email sign-up actually. The intelitek booth just happened to be next to the signup sheet. It said that you could sign up to hear some updates about Vex, which I actually wanted so I used my real email.

We had a "Vex Interest" email list signup.
Everyone that signed up got a free t-shirt. Miss Morrison was helping us out running the Vex pit area on Thursday and Friday. The t-shirts were very popular, and I hope we can do something similar in the future.

I wanted a shirt that just said "Enginerd." on the front, but my idea got voted down.

"Enginerd" is a term that goes back to at least the 1970's. I first heard it at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the best engineering school in North America.

I've had "enginerd" in my sig for a while now, but I think I first saw it somewhere else on CD.

Here's the earliest reference on CD, stated by none other than JVN in 2004:

Alright, alright... I'll admit defeat.


But back on topic... Amanda? Intimidating? Of course not!
