It also didn't help that I had to convince Alex and Eric that the jack didn't go under the axel. That was just a bad day for my car. Still, it was pretty funny when everbody thought I was carrying the remnents of a dead dog. (In case you're wondering, the dog is fine).

BUT STILL three guys couldn't figure out how to change a Flat... They were gonna let the 2 girls change.. but we couldn't embaress you THAT much... :p

Favorite quote? I'm not sure, but the quote I heard the most this year had to be, "Well, can't you make that work in the code?" or, "That has to be a coding issue." Seeing as I'm the programmer, it got old REAL fast.

Ooh. I like. Now the question is do you think it's to "punny" to use as a name for a competition.

So this one is from Buckeye, our drive team has waaaaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands:

"You know you are a robotics geek when you throw a water balloon out the 10th floor window and then calculate its velocity just as it hits the ground (which happens to be about 55 mph)."

one of our mentors who is 25 went to go put in a work for one of our parts that broke and the FIRST rep told him he need a mentor to go out to the trailer with him.

so me and one of the mentors walked over to Smithtown (810) on Thursday of SBPLI Long Island Regional to see how they're doing. They were adding lightening holes or something about being over weight so of course my mentors like "hey we got a sawsall if you need one"...he just likes cutting things up - his favorite tool is the grinder :)

i found it funny at least ;)

"Oh my god! The hat just ate a chair!" - Erica upon seeing the big Woodside (100) hat steal (more like engulf) the Jesuit (1097) Marauder's chair at SVR.

After six hours at the laithe, I went over to the mill where one of the advisors was cutting away at something. It was pretty late at night and it was me, another student or two who were in the programming room, and a few mentors.

Me: "Maybe it's just my eyes, but I'm not sure I'm reading that right." (the piece of metal in the mill)

Mentor: "*exasperated sigh* It's says slot"

Me: "Oh s***"
