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.

I suspect that it was kind of a random event that "Like a Rolling Stone" was played at that time. It's a great song, but not necessarily appropriate to go along with the chairman's award announcement.

Music for awards is usually standardized across the regionals.
Or that is what I have noticed from my 4 years of FIRST anyways.

[KenWittlief]

I just wondered if anyone else noticed?

It was surreal, like when you are dreaming, and your radio alarm clock goes off, and for a minute you hear the music on the radio in your dream, and in your dream you realize "wait a minute, where is that music coming from?" and you wake up.

it was like that. Everyone was walking around, picking up their stuff in the bleechers, teams were finishing up crating their robots, teams heading home

and Bob was singing away

"Now you dont talk so loud
now you dont seem so proud
about having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel?"

I was wondering if I would wake up at home, and the whole regional was only a dream, with Dylan on my clock radio :^)

*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.

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.

The hokie pokie? Hey now that is something Im looking forward to

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

and have THEM ALL doing the hokie pokie!

I would pay money to see that! :cO

Somthing about 30 robots fitting on one field creeps me out...



The hokie pokie thing is weird too.

Ok, have it your way then, but having 30 robots doing the chicken dance instead will require a little more driver skill!

Pff driver skill? Let the programmers do it autonomously
