And yes, that tube is pink. Thankfully they were later changed to red.

Thankfully, we did keep a few pink ones around for emergency wardrobe repairs should they ever be needed. 
The best part of the story is that Amanda demonstrated her fine fashion sense somewhat unwillingly when Brigid threw her through the door and into the middle of a GDC meeting that was going on at the time. Woodie’s reaction was the best.
What?! The tubes were originally pink?! Why ever would you change it?!
Then again, I might be a liiiiiiittle biased.
I was the bold one on our team to wear a pink inner tube skirt on the playing field all the way through nationals - ahhh, the things I do for FIRST. . .
I can see the GDC reaction right now: Dave goes bananas, Dean falls off his Segway, and Woodie’s ponytail comes undone.
And here all this time I thought she was actually doing work up in NH…
I know, right? Seriously, Amanda…
WOW:rolleyes:
Hey hey hey… this was on a SATURDAY.
I only work six days out of the week.
With the loss of the tip of my Right Pinky, and Robotics season, Saturday is quickly falling off the top of the “Favorite Day of the Week” Pyramid.

Robot Rodeo 2007. Pink Tubes
wimp. the rest of us work 7. because we LOVE FIRST… 
Yeah, but I actually like being able to do something at least once a week. First is amazing and all, but I need to remember that I have a life outside of the madness at least every now and than.
Such words of wisdom…
:o
Come on, Kathie - You know how much I hate FIRST. 
I have to have at least one day to de-frazzle myself before I can get back into the swing of things for six more days!
I want to get a dog soon, to help me de-stress. ‘Come on, pooch, we’re going for a run.’ Then maybe we’ll push the seven day mark.
Amanda, if you dyed your hair blonde and carried a chihauhau around you could pass for Elle Woods!
