Ok there was more Mike here it is.

"Steve is this your music?" " Yes. Why?" "Because it sucks."

"Did I zap you, dude?" "Yes!" "I'm sorry dude. I thought I just crossed the leads."

Why is everything falling off?

"Whats the experation date on these?" "Who cares?"

Mentor: Well we'll have to fix the code.

9. Ken: This side weighs 69 pounds.
Steve: This side weighs 73 pounds.
Mentor: What! We gained weight while taking stuff off!
Steve: Oh wait. 63 pounds.
Mentor: I'm gonna kill you.

8. Mentor: Phil, what are you doing!
Phil: Making a Knight Rider light system.

7. Watch out for the wings!

6. I don't know...but it looks dangerous. (referring to Phil grinding a washer)

5. Steve! They have red and black wires for a reason!

4. That's exactly what it did in Working Model (CAD). (referring to robot bouncing violently as it tries to climb step.)

3. No, no, no, no, no, no! Don't...don't bang it in!

2. Go weigh that stuff that fell off while we were driving.

"You've been at it for an hour!! Here, let me show you how's it's done... where's the hammer??"

"What time is it?? Can I borrow your cell phone?"

We have had a couple discussions on this in the past week... Just for the cool factor though... Cause we are under weight right now.

It was a good idea until one of our brilliant seniors explained that the helium molecules were smaller than the little holes in our wheels...

Oh well...

Re: Top 10!
 

Not a top ten, but definitely a #1 conversation...

Concerned Students: "Matt, I don't think that the aluminum shaft will hold up, I mean, there's a lot of torque on that component."

Me: "Boys and girls, that's not just aluminum, that's AIRCRAFT grade aluminum."

Concerned Students: "Oh, well, if it's aircraft grade, then I guess it's okay..."

Me: "And if you every are worried about anythings else holding up, just let me know so I can make you feel better by telling you that it's aircraft grade, and that it's used on the space shuttles..." :)

Good luck everybody!

Matt

"The good thing about standerdizing our bolt size this year is if you need a nut bolt or washer one is probley lying with in arm's reach."

Refering to finding tools "We could just tie one tool to each Freshman then tie them all to the crate so they can wander off." "7/16 get over here now."

"I hope to h*** that was comming from the other vehicle bay" Upon hearing a very loud rumbling comming from the direction of two vehicle bays one of which our robot is sitting alone in.

"We can give other teams freshmen to cheer for them in exchange for spare parts"

"F#@! You Office assistant!!" -Richard

"Why don't any of these box cutters have box cutters!?!!??"

"Find stuff on this list and put them in this box!"

"Why isn't the robot done yet?" -Me

"I never thought I'd say this, but I am SOOOOOO Sick of painting!!" -Me

From Aaron to me...
"How can you be exhausted when all you've done all day is paint the crate?"
"well lets see, when you factor in the getting b*tched at all day long, the fumes, and the stress..."

"Is it done YET!?" -Me

"Thank GOD it's the last day!!"

You know that those parts are illegal right. Are they really. We'll paint them so that FIRST Judges can't tell.

Why can't duct tape be used as an insulator --- b/c its already considered to be an illegal fastner.


funny the this joystick doesn't move the robot back and forth as programmed.
tries other joysticks (joy 1 / joy 2). somebody porgrammed it to be on (joy 3 and Joy 4) ok well i guess the driver will be on the right side this yr cuz im not messing with that programming again. they'll just have to adapt thats all


This never happened at all but in any case its different from the other funny posting here hehe.

Re: Top 10!
 

I think near the end, most of my phrases involved me threatening/swearing at Mike. Poor Mike.

Re: Top 10!
 

And not only did I have to deal with the emotional stress caused by Emily. When I moved my car from the Renisance garage to the Columbus parking lot at 2am I was nearly held up. This homeless man stopped me and insisted he could do one handed push ups for cash. I was brave and told him I only had $1 on me and that I would rather give him 1 dollar than see him do 30 one handed pushups for $5 (what a bargain). Then he "gave me love" and showed that he could do 5 one handed push ups.
Of course when I came back to the lab from moving my car Emily had decided that the burden of sleep was too great, and she had left. So I told my story to just Don and Sam; but now I'm publishing my event to the world, isn't the web great?
