Someone in my robotics event named their robot grumbot and they started talking about mustaches so i'm pretty sure it was intentional. will ipdate with how well they are doing once i am sure it is a reference.

Sleeping late for the 5th week in a row
I'm sure this won't have any bad consequences on my health

For fun I just scrolled through the Reddit graveyard and found the FRC Reddit Community. They are so technical. Like, they’re talking about strategies and sponsors and stuff. Meanwhile over here we are throwing around game pieces, exploding robots, and starting cults.

Robot brainstorming? Studying the rule book? Prioritizing game play elements?
Nah, this is playing Ultimate Frisbee. 😂⭕😂

Any anonymity I had left on this blog can die because we took an awesome picture at our meeting last night.
Look at him, isn’t he beautiful?!?! Meet Apollo, my new favorite child
(disclaimer: this blog is not officially affiliated with FRC #1533 Triple Strange in any way, it is literally just me doing this because I think it’s fun)

Day 1 of….
Reporting live from the robotics competition!!🎙️
The FIRST robotics crowd gets more queer each year. they remain equally autistic (based).
Key Notes:
Undercut still thriving (unexpected??)
Mullets everywhere (queers only)
Pride flags everywhere🏳️🌈
BO remains an issue (young autistic crowd, i forgive them)
More women!!!!🧍♀️
The sport of collecting as many buttons as you can from each team has exploded in popularity. As an og button collector, I approve.
STRONG transmasc presence.🧍♂️Based… but literally where are the transgirls??😭 they’re straight up gone….
One team put out period product buckets in EVERY bathroom. This is epic (their actions have warmed my heart deeply)

Ayo if you’re on a first robotics team reblog with the goofy stuff your team gets up to
On my team we’ve got:
- Cheddar, the long plushie cat who comes to every competition with us and is basically our mascot at this point
- that time we flung people down the halls of the school on those little wheely squares for half an hour and nearly hit two mentors
- assigned numbers for anyone named Ethan because we had six of them last year
- the taco water incident
- my long furby occasionally crashing robotics nights
- so many frogs oh lord
- the cardboard cutout of the lead teacher that we hail as god (the teacher acts like he hates the thing but leaves it in the manufacturing shop year round and dresses it up for Christmas. He will not let us put it in the team picture though)

Did your team ever have ridiculous superstitions/cults/other very ridiculous behavior? (Asking because my friend's robotics team has a borderline cult around a skeleton and "orbs")
During my time on the team, not really, other than needing to eat gummy worms during the semi-finals if we made it. everytime we came close to establishing a religious cult like behavior the item of worship mysteriously disappeared
that being said our team did have what we referred to as The Bible in a thick ass 10+ year old paper-binder

Judging and inspecting for the state high school and junior high robotics competition. Great to see the team that I started 12+ years ago is still going strong (although they've changed their name from the amazing "Space Monkeys" to "Dogbyte" - You win some, you lose some).
50+ teams in this tournament, great turn out, some incredible design and engineering notebooks, really cool designs (including a drive train I've never seen built before.

You know you’ve spent too long in the pits when you can still feel the phantom of your safety glasses around your ears hours after you took them off.
