Mentor: Do you think you can get us any cash donations?
Me: Or check donations, or credit donations, or diamond donations, or gold donations, really anything will do.
Mentor: Or bank account donations.
Me: Did you say bacon account?
Mentor: What? Bacon account? No.
Me: Oh, cause that would be pretty sweet.
Student: You'd gain interest on you're bacon and stuff.
Me: Yeah, they'd add little slices of bacon every couple of months. This is going on Chief Delphi.

*we were testing our robot*

Driver: Pneumatics work.....:P
Mentor: Hey look the pneumatics are moving!:yikes:
President: MAGIC SMOKE!! MAGIC SMOKE!! :ahh:

Student: What does it mean when the display screen on the scale says ololololol?

Mentor: It's laughing at you because the robot is overweight

-3, 2, 1, BOOM?
-No, just 2, 1, BOOM. You don't get that much warning.

Along those lines.

"Libby, enable?"
"We have no comms."
"How many?" (he was talking to someone else, I responded anyway.)
"ZERO COMMS. WE HAVE ZERO."

While waiting for the programmers to finish: JVN (mentor) -- "Have you ever seen a kid get beat to death with a track ball full of dodge balls?"

Right after the bot was ready to ship: "Can has sleep now?"

I got a new laptop for my birthday this year (in preperation for college) and it ended up being used as the programing laptop eveon though i was the project coordinator and helped the mechanical team. On Vista theres a gadget which looks like sticky notes which the programing team and i kept regular conversations over. here are a few that i remember.

~Programer~
To do list:
get linux

~me~
To do list:
kill b____

(i quite thoroughly enjoy my vista system and one of the programers feels the need to constantly talk about linux which anoys me greatly)

~programer~ (in reference to this picture which i had made my background): lions pwn cat

~me~(at 2 in the morning): in soviet russia pwn cats lions

a day later i find this as my new background (see attached picture)

When we were at our practice competition this week we managed to short out the surface mounting fuse on our CRio resulting in our robot never being tested before ship. Needless to say our whole team was terribly disappointed so late at night (this seems to be a reoccurring trend with me) i wrote this on 10 seperate sticky notes (the max that the gadget will allow).

~me~: REMEMBER: Robotics isn't the only thing in the world... its just the only thing that you've cared about for the past 6-9 weeks and also happens to have made you compromise morals, push back other projects, reject schoolwork, and alienate friends... so just take a deep breath, put down the 7/16 drill bit you were about to drive into your skull and be happy we have a robot and learned a lot while building it

"Whoah. We are 30 pounds overweight!"

"Let's drive it around to lose some weight."

*is laughing while my dad gives me a weird look*

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Nicknames for components on our robot (don't ask):
-Shooter motor: "gentle lobber"
-Diagnostic light: "stupid light"
-Camera platform: "peekaboo patio" or "bare-a__ balcony"
-Electronics board (shifts left and right for turning): "moveable feast"

Our autonomous has a switch with two positions - turn left and turn right:
Me: So, left goes left?
Mentor: Right.
Me: And right goes right?
Mentor: No, right goes left.
Me: So left is right, but right is wrong, right?
Mentor: Not even gonna go there...

Programmer: The robot is overweight.
Mentor: More zeros and less ones, guys.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

36 hours of programming, here we go

Mentor(non programming); so three functions, three switches right?
Me: No, two.
Mentor: Two?!?!
ME: There are 10 types of people in the world...
Mentor: Overruled your getting three switches...

Me: We didn't build this code to be tested, We built it to work!! (it didn't)

Me (looking at a massive decision making structure): I think that I "C" a better way of doing this. And I really hope that you will "C" my way of doing this.

Mentor: Yes I think that I "C" what Cody is trying to say, and I really hope that you will "C" the programming his way.

Brandon: No!, No! formula node

Me: I wonder what would happen if you heat-gunned an orbit ball

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Ok, so one of our programmers always forgets to put in the start codes, (at least we always know where to check if we have problems) so we came up with this simple acronym as a joke to help remind him.

D.U.F.U.S.

Did U Forget Ur Start Code?
