Re: Do you get blamed for every thing one your team!!!
 

Our coach gave me a $500 fine yestarday because nobody put away this box that had a bunch of things we ordered out on a table. It was empty and the order costed $500. He asked me if i knew where the parts were (He gave the box to me at the begining of our meeting the day before), I was like - ****. 10 minutes later he opens up a cabnet and takes out all the parts, he smiled and said he hoped I wouldnt do it again. I can tell you this right now, im never going to leave anything out again LOL.

Everyone makes mistakes, when I am teaching newbies how to do things I usualy let them figure it out themselves, then check it before they do anything irreversable (drill a hole, or cut something). If they set it up wrong or didnt mark it right then i tell them and they usualy gladly fix it. I dont blame them and say stuff like "You cant do anything right!". I save that for when they have a real bad additude about everything :rolleyes:

I find it more fun to blame one of our team leads Troy just cause it works out that way

On my team the new programmers (ME!), along with the old programmers, get blamed for almost everything!

I got blamed for a lot of stuff my first year (last year) because everyone knew my older brother, and they didn't like him, so they decided they didn't lik me. But I fixed that as soon as possible by doing a lot of stuff right, when they thought i couldn't, so that's all you have to do, work hard, work right, and you should be fine.(although i'm still blamed a lot)

i get blamed for things that happen on the other side of the room all because of montclaire mayhem...

<goes into overly eleberate flash back>
i remeber it like it was yesterday

i was driving the robot in the finals and twice we were clipped and pulled down by a passing robot cough 1626 cough no hard feelings :D

so the second time the manipulator arm was bent way to the side.


<comes back to present>

so anyways no everyone calls me the bender even rookies
no one beleives me that it wasnt my fault
only 4 members went to that event so i tell people that if they wanted anything diffrent to happen they should of been there

my team inspired the nick under the name team scape goat

wee=ll not yet anyway, not because I'm a rookie but because I'm on programming. When the robot is finished being built, sure a few tweaks here and there but if the robot doesn't move, "PROGRAMMING!!"
