What's the dumbest thing you've ever done, related to FIRST?

*sigh* I went over to a building where all of our electronics equipment was stored. I unlocked the building, turned on the lights, set the key on a table, and walked deeper into the building. I turned around and...surprise, the door locked behind me! I managed not only to lock the key inside the building...but to trap myself inside the building as well. What a night...

We broke into our school Auto Shop's storage room. We left a nice apology on the board, though:

Our note on the board

Now, we did have a reason for it (our tools were all locked in there), but still... breaking into a room would count as pretty dumb no matter why you do it.

Quitting my team last friday

The dumbest thing I've done SO FAR (since I'm a freshman) happened at a festival in my home town. During the festival our team brings out all our robots to demonstrate, play around with, etc., along with a team from a nearby high school. This all takes place under one small tent.
So, the final demonstration of the day came, and I was allowed to drive the National Champion robot of 2002. Great! So I drove that and the other team drove their most recent bot to accomplish a simple task. That task I have long forgotten, but that isn't the point. Near the end I decided to wrestle with the other robot, first pushing it into a solid table,(it didn't fall) and then into a temporary pipe fence. It didn't fall either, but could've gone into the crowd. I got a pretty good word from a person on the other team.
I first didn't recognize what I had done until I had got that word, and looked at the damage, ON OUR BOT. Their bot was O.K. Ours, I don't think, is repaired to this day. Worse yet, that's the National Champion bot. OUCH!

Another thing to mention, there was a poster hanging saying, "THIS IS NOT BATTLEBOTS!"

Hmmm where to start?

oh yes.

At Canadian Regional last year, I got into a hotel room with two pretty rowdy guys on our team. We stayed up til like 12 playing halo. When it was time to sleep, I put on my jammies, crawl into what was supposed to be a relaxing bed, but turned out to a bed full of ice!!! It was so cold that I girly screamed. (for those of you who don't know what I sound like when I do that, be thankful.) Apparently, those two guys had dumped about two buckets worth of ice into my bed and put the sheets and cover on. I had to sleep on the floor that night.

Ok, so let's see...

Steve, Brian, Dana, Greg and I definitely had some fun in the hotel at last year's Canadian Regional. Steve was going to the army and we decided to have some fun... I talked one of the girls into giving me their room key (took me an hour). We ended up overflowing their toilet with ice. I went into someone else's room accompanied but talked him into letting me stay to look for something I may have lost (process took 30 min) - this resulted in the door being wedged open... Steve, me, etc. rearranged the whole room and reveresed the mattress/spring box - "Why is this so hard?". Shu's ice bed was another fun event. I don't feel like listing more at the moment.

This was dumb because of all the trouble we could've gotten into. This was awesome because it entertained a large group of people.

Including the girls with the ice-toilet... they used it to cool drinks

Oh, what to do this year?
