Image Discuss: 1072 Crate

CD47-Bot · February 20, 2003, 2:53pm

We were kinda bored, so we decided to spraypaint our crate.

Yan_Wang · February 20, 2003, 2:55pm

Seeing as you posted on this board, you must use it. In the previous weeks, many threads have started about team slogans and claiming them so it does not interfere with another team’s. Well, in many, I posted up that our team was using ‘All Your Bins Are Belong To Us’ along with others. It’s also my custom title and in my signature. Please make sure that your robot does not have the slogan on it as it may cause an uproar from my teammates if we are ever to meet at a regional. Thank you.

Yan_Wang · February 20, 2003, 2:56pm

… oh yeah, and our team color is red (Code Red Robotics… everything in Ithaca is ‘Big Red’ or ‘Little Red’, etc) like the color in my signature and the color you spray painted your crate with.

Your point being???

Not everyone visits the ChiefDelphi forums. The “All your base are belong to us” craze was a long time ago and I’m sure eventually more idio… err… people would have changed the phrase. It’s already been changed for everything else.

I think it’s dumb and pointless anyways.

Settle down. If everyone went around complaining every time that someone made something that was “their team’s” color, it wouldn’t end. I can think of well over 15 teams with the same team colors as my team. Like JNadke said, the “all your base are belong to us” thing was a long time ago. I’m sure 1072 didn’t think, “Hey! This guy on CD’s custom title says ‘All your bins are belong to us’! ‘His team’s’ color is red! Let’s spray paint that slogan on our crate in ‘his’ color!” Anyway, if there is an uproar from your team because some other team is using the same slogan you are, I would be very disappointed. It’s not that big of a deal. :rolleyes:

Its not even our slogan or anything, we just thought itd be something funny to stick on our crate. And we bought the red spraypaint before we even thought about what to stick on our crate.

Brandon_Martus · February 20, 2003, 6:27pm

I, Brandon, reserve the letter B. Nobody can use the letter B on the forums in a post subject, message, or otherwise without express written permission from me.

Thanks.

This is a pretty argument silly.

kristen · February 20, 2003, 6:35pm

I read this earlier and I thought that it was funny.

Yan… trust me, no one on our team is going to care It’s just a color and a slogan.

… but while we’re at it, I reserve the letter “e.” What now?!

Yan_Wang · February 20, 2003, 6:39pm

It’s not supposed to be anything big. I just wanted to mention that there were topics to help stop teams from having the same names or slogans and that our team chose it first. Saying that you claim B, Brandon, makes no sense when I was pointing out a slogan (hmm, wonder what trademark laws are)… I mentioned that it was also a COICIDENCE that it was in the color red, which happens to be the big color around here due to Cornell University (whose … ahem… lawyers want us to put TM on everything with Cornell on it).

Caleb_Fulton · February 20, 2003, 6:41pm

I officially lay claim to “SOMEONE SET UP US THE STACK”

Ben_Mitchell · February 20, 2003, 6:47pm

Not using the letter B, I could probably work around it.

But “E”! That’s the most common letter in the English language! And it’s a vowel!

This post contains 1 “B” and 11 "E"s

I reserve the letter “N”

C’mon guys, chill a little.

In fact, the original phrase: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US is hardly copyrighted, and if you aren’t a PC gamer, you probably wouldn’t get it.

What game does that come from, anyway? No one uses it in Day of Defeat, the game I play.

rbayer · February 20, 2003, 7:34pm

I hearby reserve the right to any logos that contain a gear/cog/sprocket as part of the design. After all, my team name is Cogsquad so we obviously have first dibs on it.

While I’m at it, my parents just reserved the name “Rob” so don’t ever think of naming a new baby that. It’s mine.

I think I’ll lay claim to the phrase “where’s the drill?” too, so please don’t ever say these words in the pits without my express permission.

It’s just a freaking slogan, and not even an original one at that.

system · February 20, 2003, 9:13pm

ALL OF YOU ARE STUPID

SO STFU AND DEAL WITH IT.

Alright, I’m thinking that that was definitely unnecessary.

monsieurcoffee: If you have a problem with something like this in the future, PM the person about it. Bottom line: don’t throw it out here on the forums if it doesn’t concern anyone else.

system · February 20, 2003, 9:43pm

heh, I just have to contribute to this ludicrous argument…

I reserve the prefix “Techno-” so any team name and or robot name that isn’t ours cant be used.

system · February 20, 2003, 10:20pm

use your intellect forsaken brain.

if you dont like it dont read it.

gg.

id lock this thread

Ken_Leung · February 21, 2003, 5:27am

I, Ken Leung, reserve the letters K and L. Nobody can use the letters K and L on the forums in a post subject, message, or otherwise without express written permission from me.

Thanks.
[/sarcasm]

But come on… You don’t want people to use Red? Code Red Robotics used to be cool…

Iain · February 21, 2003, 6:26am

I reserve the exclusive rights to using aluminum, wood, and steel as construction materials on the robot. All robots who show up at regionals with such materials incorporated into them will be disqualified immediately.

Gadget470 · February 21, 2003, 6:45am

I reserve the name Brandon, as it is mine. Mr. Martus, you must change your name immediatly in correspondance to Section AQ36SM.

(if you know what AQ36SM is… you get a star.)

And soezgg: please remember the rules you agreed to. You are representing your team, so I’d suggest shutting up before you get people angry with you.

Past comments can be a killer. There was a team 3 years ago who brought their principal to nationals. He went to a certain team, and if I’m not mistaken it was Chief Delphi, and pointed out flaws in their bot and claimed “We are going to crush you guys, what a stupid mistake” … or something to that effect.

Well, that team ended up being seeded for alliance picking. About 15 teams in a row declined to be their alliance partner because of one person’s actions that were not in agreement with the rest of the team’s feelings.

Basically, take your own advice, shut up. People say things and they get taken out of context, which I assume for the most part is the problem with this thread.

Stephen_P · February 21, 2003, 11:57am

lets all cry and stomp our feet like little …itches. by the way i already laid claim to “somebody set us up the stack”…
