The FRC Engineering staff had a great idea. Instead of the FRC staff wearing traditional FRC shirts-and-khakis for the Kickoff videos they’ll be filming, how about if we ask teams to send in their t-shirts for the staff to wear?
Sounds good to me! Here’s the deal: if you’re interested, please send us your team t-shirts. We need Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-Larger sizes, with more of the larger sizes being needed than smaller ones. We will randomly pick from those we receive and wear those for the Kickoff taping we’ll be doing soon. If you send in a wider variety of sizes, your shirt will be more likely to be picked, but please don’t send in more than one of each size. With luck, your team t-shirt may show up during the Kickoff broadcast! How exciting would that be? One word, all caps: WICKED.
Send your team t-shirts to:
Attn: Collin Fultz
FIRST
200 Bedford Street
Manchester, NH 03101
We need to receive those t-shirts by December 4th, so please get packing!
Quick Note: T-shirts won’t be returned.
Another Quick Note: Nothing in* this *blog should be interpreted as a game hint.
Nothing should be interpreted, but it still could be interpreted.
Last year, the Rick Astley hints said ‘never going to give up’, which became the flying discs that once scored didn’t return to play. The shirts also won’t return to play. Clearly the same scoring paradigm will be in place (not that it tells us much).
FIRST is based in New Hampshire, where ‘wicked’ is just a term thrown in for added pizazz. “Wicked Awesome!” etc.
I’m not sure if they’re going to be doing this - but in the past, any shirts sent to FIRST place get put up on the office walls/people’s cubes/on display at FIRST Place. I’m guessing that since they plan on keeping the shirts, they’ll find a home somewhere on the walls even if they don’t make it into the broadcast.
"We need Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-Larger sizes, with more of the larger sizes being needed than smaller ones. "…“but please don’t send in more than one of each size”
wait what…
Also, “blog” is the term for the entire site of which each individual entry is a “blog post” so technically he said that nothing on http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/blog is a game hint :ahh:
But seriously, the only “hint” we can actually get from this post is that the kickoff will not be live for yet another year.
FIRST wants more shirts overall in XL or L, probably because there is(if I’m not mistake ) more males than females on the FRC staff, or at least the ones that generally appear in kickoff
