This is a forum dedicated to getting all of the people in FRC under 5 feet and 5 inches tall together to band together and unite!

SHORT PEOPLE! Omg!

I guess I'm short. I'm 5'1". But everyone knows that.

I'd like to advertise some large and influential organizations...

Short People to Power - For Those Of Us Whose Goal Is To Truncate
Oreo Lovers Unite Within World - Totally Unrelated Organization
LpP - Little People to Power Gangsta Association (see my Who Am I pic for more info)

Please people, let's get things right. We live in a politically correct world. The proper terminology is " Vertically Challenged". To identify yourself you could aways put VC on your signature. This would allow us normal people to be sure that we don't become offensive and insensitive.

Since half of the FIRST events I've gone to this season have involved Big Mike, I feel inclined to join you. Hopefully the 6'0" thing doesn't faze you.

Now, if you really want to get politically correct, let me present myself in a more positive light than "Vertically Challenged."

First of all, short people are not actually challenged. We are in fact, very very very skilled at obtaining family-size individuals to help us reach things and or put us into tall locations. Some of these family-size individuals are people, others are inanimate objects. It varies.

I pride myself in the following descriptive phrases -
Snack Size
Fun Size
Travel Size
Bite Size
Mini Size
Yum Size
Frolic Size

Snack size is a personal favorite, as I am eating a snack presently.

And no, I can't join your alliance. Just a bit too tall...

Indeed!!!
I'm 4'11" and am so far the shortest person to post on this thread!! w00t!

"Before you go to college, you need a stool and a tall boyfriend to bring around everywhere" --My Parents, believe it or not

Another point:
We're very useful when those tall ppl are just a tad too short to reach something, and they need an addition to their height.
(Refers to hopefully nonexistant picture of me on Alex's shoulders at SVR putting up a banner)

GO SHORT PEOPLE!

HI ALL! I'm Zara from Team 1676 the Pascack PIoneers! I'm 4'10 1/2" and proud!

I do love using those descriptive phrases! As well, when it becomes necessary to justify my height, I enjoy informing people that I can play hide-and-seek FOREVER!

I laugh in the face of PC. I am short and drn proud of it. You'd be amazed at how close to the steering wheel of my car I am. My mom use to joke that I'd throw her back out if I didn't adjust her seat after I was done driving.
