Registration Volunteer: “Sir, if you haven’t filled out the FIRST consent form, then you’ll have to go to Line D.”
Person Registering: I know that transportation is the theme of “Smart Moves”, but did they have to go for authenticity by making registration a simulation of the DMV?
“I don’t care that you have a team of two people and everybody else has the maximum of ten. You STILL can’t compete as a student if you’re over 14! Oh, it’s your little brother’s robot and he couldn’t make it due to a sudden soccer event? Nice try. Rich, you’re acting too much like a cop with that donut. Get him out of here and tell him that if he tries to register again, we’ll have the competitors build a wall to keep him out, and give them free reign on what defense mechanisms they put on, as long as only LEGOs are used.”
Sure enough, this went awry–I think it was an internet connection problem that goofed up Google Docs. I’ve updated the spreadsheet to fix these two–if you see another error, let me know.
Is this pit administration? Um, this is our first competition, and we were sent over by the team for some things … um … it says we need a metric crescent wrench, a wire stretcher, a left-handed screwdriver, some dihydrogen monoxide, magic smoke … um … extra ones and zeros, and a 1/2 inch PVC flagholder. I think that’s it. Oh, and a flux capacitor. Thanks.
[steve irwin voice]And here we see the the FIRST volunteer in its natural habitat. A strange species, the FIRST volunteer spends long hours doing difficult task for seemingly no reward, and is also known to decorate itself with strange items. Oh no! It appears we’ve been spotted![/steve irwin voice]
**(Registration lady) **Sir, you must put that donut in your hand right here in front of me on this table before I can sign you in.
**(Guy in red hat) **She tried that with me, but I wouldn’t bite. (Guy in black shirt) OK, now tell me again how you got that donut past her? I gotta write this down for next time (Blonde lady) OK, here are the forms, can I get my donut back? (Seated lady) No (Guy in red shirt) OK, listen. I’ll break it in half and you can have some, but I really can’t let you have it all… (Guy on radio, speaking to Registration lady) <OK, who has the keys to the donut locker?>
Rich: The event venue is all set up and the teams are ready to compete. All I had to do to get these great volunteers started was to offer them donuts and give them a t-shirt. This is awesome!
The Krispy Kreme Bandit, seen here in this photo, is on the loose after escaping from FIRST custody on Monday. If anyone has clues as to his whereabouts, please contact Dave Lavery at 1-(800)-123-4567
Guy in black t-shirt: “Rich, did you bring enough donuts for every one? It says in the volunteer rule book “Any food brought in must be enough for ALL volunteers”.”
Rich: “I didn’t know there would be this many!”
I opened the thread before midnight Sunday–that counts as Sunday judging, right?
