Just popped on the webcast for Newton field… and I can’t stand it any more.
So the poll… rate the announcer! Vote for your favorite if you’ve heard them all.

Which ever field Ron is announcing. He’s the best announcer around.
They just replaced the guy in Galileo, thank God. The replacement is pretty good. The original guy was awful.
Edit: Ron’s on Archemedies, buy only announcing teams not play by play.
I think the anouncers on Curie are great. They have the colored hair. They are doing a great job at getting the crowd pumped, putting out a lot of energy to get the job done. They also had the crowd sing Happy Birthday to Andy Grady
Second favorite? Whichever field Blair is on, he’s awesome. I think it’s Archimedes.
Archimedes is the best. He isnt annoying, but yet isnt too quiet.
i cant even watch the newton webcast. My head feels like its gonna explode.
the announcers probably read chiefdelphi as well … so dont you think certain comments can be offensive to them ??
We aren’t saying that they are horrible people. If they read CD that’s great. If they are offended, oh well. It’s nothing I wouldn’t say to him if I met him. Listen to the webcast, every 5th word and the last word of every sentance is “Baby” or “Helloooo”.
Quite frankly, his pattern of speech is annoying.
The Archimedes announce, Dan Green, is pretty good, but I love the Curie guys too.
EXTREMELY OVER USED PHASE AT NEWTON FIELD:
“HELLO…HELLO…”
“BABY… BABY… BABY…”
“BAM… BAM… BAM…”
“HOT… HOT… HOT…”
" HELLO… BABY… HOT… HOT… BAM… BAM"
“THIS MATCH IS OVER… THIS MATCH IS OVER…”
:ahh: :ahh: BABY!
I agree, my dad just came over to the stairs and said something like “What the (censor)-heck-(censor) are you watching!?!?”
lol I loved that guy, he really got the crowd going during the finals. I just think of him as kinda like the Dick Vital of FIRST robotics.
" That’s team710 baby "
He ran through the crowd during elimination. It was awesome he was warmly recieved. The other guys were great always.
Even though at times there were different people archimedes was the best…im a little biased though…
The Newton announcer…
Yeah, he did repeat some things a lot. But, he was energetic and understood the game, so he gets some points there. Some of the annoucers sounded like Mr. Rogers on Valium, and at least to me seemed like they might not know quite what was going on.
Although if I had to hear about one more 5 point possibilty…

Mark Leon as MC rules all the way…and for announcer, the Newton man was hilarious. Thanks for making the game fun to watch!
Ok granted the announcer on Newton (“Sir Charles”) might sound repititive and annoying to people watching a webcast not in competition, but for those of us who were there know how much that guy rocked. He got our whole division cheering and laughing with phrases like “going for the hookup baby,”, “lets get it certified,” and other funny phrases. He even went as far as to run through all the stands and everyone gave him giant hugs and lifted him up. In my opinion he was one of the best announcers for any field I’ve ever been on.
Though I didn’t see all of the fields, and thus don’t have an unbiased opinion…I love Ron. So much. He is so awesome at announcing!
Edit: Though, I would have loved to hear “They’re wicked going for the bah!”
I was at the competition and I found his pattern of speech really annoying and my team agrees with me. I liked the announcer at Archimedes, though I only heard him for a little while.
It’s all about Newton, baby. I loved that guy, to be able to keep up that level of energy for 3 days is a wonder in itself…Given he was repetitive, but he knew how to work the crowd…and from what I could hear, Newton was the loudest field out there
-Bill
How about Einstein? Dave is the greatest!
Yah I have to agree there…He is definately the BEST MC out there. As for announcers, Steve Warren (Curie Announcer with Crazy Hair) is great! He’s pretty cool too!
Personally, the Einstein Anouncer had to of been my favorite.
