Mechanical Rule #1: NEVER leave the programmers alone with the robot.


The reason will become apparent soon enough.

Is the code done? Is the code done? Is the code done?
Hey programmer! 10 minutes til bag!
Why isn't the robot moving? Are you compiling yet? What's that slash slash mean anyway?
Hey programmer! 9 minutes til bag!
What does plus plus mean? Could you like program the lights all cool? Is the code done?
Hey programmer! 8 minutes til bag!
...
(7 minutes later)
What happens if I unplug the battery when you're programming the robot? Are we going to have an autonomous? I bet we'll make all of our shots and win this year.
Hey programmer! 1 minute til bag!
Is it working yet? You had the robot for like 10 minutes, you should be done now. Shut it down, time to bag.


Coach 1: Alright, stop. Tryouts for head programmer are done.

Coach 2: Wow, this guy kept his cool. I want him to be the head programmer! What's his secret?

Coach 1: He's deaf.

Programmers: Go away, you know your head is to big and your arms are too short!

Team members look onto lead programmers screen, see video game in progrsss, and ask "What's going on here?"

Lead programmer thinks fast and answers "Just waiting for the compile to complete"

Team members reply "Funny how we do so much compiling and yet make so little progress"?

OK guys, we've added a chute. All we need to do is put in some blades in place of the rollers in front, and we've got ourselves a leaf shredder.

Uggh! (looks up)

All right, who wants to have the pickup and auto-ranger done before midnight so we can go home? ... OK, .. OK, .. and OK. So it's unanimous. Robot now, footsie later. (turns to left) And not footsie with me. And aren't you supposed to be replacing some of the c-clamps with 10-32s? (turns back to computer) Now let me code, already!

Mentor: "Guys, why aren't you programming?"

Programmer at computer: "Don't worry, I'm on it."

Mentor: "Good." (walks away)

Programmer at computer: "That was a great idea, summoning the ghost of Steve Jobs to program the robot for us so that we could have 40% more fun this season."

Programmer in orange: "I don't know... are you sure we won't have any... unintended consequences? At the very least, being disqualified?"

Programmer at computer: "Of course not! Robot, activate ninja mode and bring me the build captain's Reese's peanut butter cup! I want it alive!"

By the way, I give all credit for the 40% more fun reference to team 2823 mentor (now coach) @jwhite.

Student in orange: "What does this icon do?"
Programmer: "It causes students in orange jackets to ask questions. See how well it worked?"

"Well, yes, it used to be our FRC robot. But we've reprogrammed it to make Cheetos. Lots of Cheetos.

Now we're hard at work on a Mountain Dew bot..."

They're not programming; they're hacking. The robot is actually a mobile antenna that they're using to reprogram the school's lights, since they're too invested in their work to realize they can get up and walk to the light switch.

Sorry for the delay! Sales tax and video cutting and transitioning from contractor to employee and FLL wears you out more than you think! (And then Google Drive decided to crap out on me...)

First place goes to:

Is the code done? Is the code done? Is the code done?
Hey programmer! 10 minutes til bag!
Why isn't the robot moving? Are you compiling yet? What's that slash slash mean anyway?
Hey programmer! 9 minutes til bag!
