Top 10!
 
In order to lighten the mood up a little as we head into "crunch time"...

Top 10 statements heard at FIRST team build sites during "crunch time".

10. "Thats funny, the mockup picked those balls up real well." :confused:

9. "I miss Basic Stamp. Don't you miss Basic Stamp?"

8. "I hope FIRST ordered ALOT of spare balls...thats the 6th one we popped this week!"

7. "Hey, you said it had to find an IR beacon....you never said which beacon!"

6. "Thank god for C! Aren't you glad they got rid of Basic Stamp?"

5. "Hey, when did we put a popcorn machine in our robot? Wait a minute, that sound is the transmission!"

4. "Quick, someone needs to make a Mountain Dew run!"

3. "Man...2am gets here pretty fast these days, doesn't it?"

2. "Why is it, everytime I drop a cap screw, it falls in THAT corner of the machine...can somone find me a magnet?"

1. "Weight reduction??? No no no...those are speed holes!"

Any other statements you expect to hear?

Good Luck!

These are a few of the statements I say while programming:

"That wasnt programmed to move!!" (Yeah, it moved like it was gonna get bit by a dog)

"This is not supposed to work, but we'll see"

We crack up everytime on that.

Probably a quote that will be heard this year but it originally dates back to a robot with an extremely long arm built for the 1998 competition:
"Don't stand under the robot." (It had a tendency to collapse suddenly).

Re: Top 10!
 
Our electronics team consists of 2 people in charge, roughly seven workers, and a electrical engineer mentor. We were discussing mounting our electronics board vertically with our mechanical team.

One of the mechanical members, Dellin asked us, "Is there any electronic reason why the board cannot be mounted sideways?"

To which both Kristi and I answered, "No"

However, at this point, our mentor broke in saying, "Of course there is! Electrons have a mass and a vertical board introduces gravity."

At this point, everyone in the area burst out laughing.

"You win the PRIZE!"

This is typically heard in 246's lair whenever somebody makes a stupid mistake, or when something fails due to mechanical problems.

Example:

Person 1: "Metal shavings won't foul up the drivetrain, right?"
Person 2: "Guess what? You win the PRIZE!"

I don't know why, but this sort of thing never gets old.

-It's OK, that part only broke because our motors are so strong

-We can just use last years gyro ... wait ... now we can't.

-Why didn't the kit just come with 4 pneumatic Skyway wheels?

-Warning: Call of function without prototype, Why should I care?

-Linker Error ... Stupid compiler!

-Brian, why do we have to reload the code everytime we turn the bot off?

-Stop calling me Alan! I'm Brian!

-This program is too big for a floppy. Our State-of-The-Art data backup system has failed us.

-It's like they purposely put all the Otaku's (anime fans) on the programming team. No good can come of this.

"First, will make a flow chart."
"Right, then will figure out how to code it..."
"...and then actually write the code."
"Then we debug."
"And debug..."
"And debug a little more..."
"Oh, but we can't forget to debug."
"But not til after we debug."
"Plus you gotta leave time for debugging."
"Crap! We almost forgot the most important step!"
"What?"
"Debug, of coarse!"

But you're forgetting the most important part of debugging, debugging the REST of the program ^_^

our programming team started calling the IFI Loader the "IffyLoader," cause it didn't work half the time

and we have subsidized the girls bathroom cause we're too lazy to walk the 30 extra meters to the boys bathroom.

Instead of a statemetn how about how folks look after an all nighter.
1.
After working long hours on the animation. The computer crashed and he came to the slow horrible realization that he had forgot to save his work.

Re: Top 10!
 
2.

After a long fruitless all-nighter the team became suspicious when he began to write "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". WHat really made them nervous was his name was Percy.

And the unfortunate sequel to 2.
So many sharp tools to choose from....*shudder*

It wasn't me.

He did it.

Then there's always the "OUCH!" followed closely by a string of carefully chosen obscenities, sometimes muffled.

"Go! Go! Build a freaking part of the robot. " (Mentor to our team president)

Ok! How did I do that?

Put it all together and ... Do Hokey Pokey.

Ok thats bad.

What did I do?

You guys have to keep me away from the robot.

We have to make the holes more Drilly.

BAD IDEA .....Actually thats pretty funny.

I found a drill bit bigger than a quarter.( Holds up a quarter and a 1 3/4 inch drill bit)

Holy crap whay did you do that! That was the part that worked!

A quote that made me laugh: "All together, this robot will weigh 80-90 pounds." (Our base with sprockets and stuff is 30).

It's not a hand mill it's a hand DRILL !

It isn't a good thing but if it works I won't complain.

Loki! What did the bad man do to you?

Who bent your bit.

It's not bent it's just at an angle.

They are either not long enough or they are too short.

I don't know why they haven't sent us our freaking wheels yet.

Hmm i have heard that alot recently. We have a grinder that hates one of the other students. It has an insatiable(sp?) hunger for bits of keyway.


My favorite quote was posted somewhere around here and it wnet somehing liek this: "everyone knows the best way to lighten a robot is to turn is over, shake vigorously, and throw awa ywhatever falls out". Last year we had a nutdriver that someone clumsily dropped into an upright piece of our frame stuck in our robot the entire season until a few weeks ago when it was finally missed and so we got it out.
