an odd choice of Chairmans Award music at FLR? Dylan?!

[KenWittlief]

Anyone else think it was a really odd choice of music, at the Finger Lakes Regional

after the chairmans award was given

to play Dylan's "Rolling Stone" ?

A balad of a teenage runaway, living on the streets, fending for herself?

"how does it feel, to be on your own
with no direction home
like a complete unknown
like a rolling stone?

.... No one ever taught you how to live out on the streets, and now your gonna have to get use to it"

is this our new 'Chairmans Award song'?

or did someone pull an Ashlee-Simpson and hit the wrong button?

it was just, well....... weird!

I wasn't really paying attention to the music at that point in time.

I'm still trying to find a way to get FIRST to dump the Chicken Dance song.

*cough* What was that? *cough*

IRT:
The DJ was kinda disappointing... playing rather mellowing and irrelevant music. Our CEO asked him if he could play more upbeat exciting music the rest of the competition, and found out he wasnt a real DJ. He only plays on on TV.

Yeah he only played it like 50 times

Nah I mean more like on Thursday when he was playing things like Lil John and nearly half the song was bleeped out.

I didn't mind the WBER playlist on Thursday but FIRST has this weakness for the Electric Slide, the Chicken Dance, YMCA, The Macerena and Cha Cha. There are other songs in existance. They should give them a spin once in a while.

1. song for mentors on field to dance to:
2. song for mascots on field to dance to:
3. song for rookies on field to dance to:

It's all about knowing your crowd. At some regionals Hip-Hop is going to work, at others it isn't. I love my Hip-Hop, but the crowd didn't seem to get into it in Rochester. That being said, playing "Lose Yourself" by Eminem during the last match of the finals was absolutely perfect.

It really captures the tension and pressure felt by all the drive teams.

[Yan Wang]

Karthik is sooooo right.

After finals 1.3 at FLR, I asked my drive team how they felt about the perfect choice of music (Lose Yourself) for the perfect moment. One didn't like it, one didn't remember it.

The other piece that I really like during finals is the FOX sports theme. That pumps me up.

So would Battle Without Honor or Humanity from Kill Bill.

[JVN]

Absolutely.
That song definitely had an effect. When I heard it come on, I couldn't believe it. I looked back to "our corner" and saw several other teammates going through the same thing I was.

Amazing.

cant do the 'turn yourself around' part on a tether cable

I disagree...you can do it but you shouldn't do it...and since it is suppose to be a bad idea I would say "that's what its all about."

the day when all the robots at the regional have their own radio frequency

and we can put 30 or 50 robots on the field during lunch break
