Mentor: This robot is probably the best one we've built.

Other Mentor: Yeah

Mentor: Hey Nick, why is it the best one?

Me: No, Rivets?

Quote from our Team Head Coach (he was completely serious until he realized what he said)


"Check the PWM cables they might be leaking."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Regan **our mentor**: What is that?
Me: a giant nut and bolt
Regan: I can see that... but why is there half a pound of weight in one nut and bolt?

followed by:
Sam: this robot needs to be bulimic

looking at the bumpers:
Rixon: what did you do?
Harrison: why are they sparkly?
Me: What? They're hott!!! I mean come on... we used stripper dust!!!
Regan: stripper dust..... good choice
**i dont think he was really paying attention to what was going on**

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Written by a mentor:

3+2=4

Thing is, he was serious and it was true at the time.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Recently we've been having some weird discussions at our meetings...

After getting the vacuum hose too close to his mouth, Matt simply said "that tasted like suck."

And somehow we got into the topic of global warming and Brian enlightened us to the fact that we aren't the cause of forest fires, "It's those dang trees that are the cause of forest fires!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Our team has three main quotes that we hold to:

#1: "We are way ahead of schedule!" (We never actually are)

#2: "We'll be way underweight!" (We always at the 120 mark if not above)

#3: "In Theory this should work!" (Sometimes it does, other times it doesn't)

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

we had a good one today so we are a rookie team and we have about 6 main kids working on it. but anyway myself and another were woking on the bumpers putting the fabric on

Curtis: Do you need help? (as adam uses his foot to hold the fabric)
Adam: No, I'm a monkey!

well anyways we thought it was funny but whatever

Mentor1: We need to find nut plates.
Student1: What are nut plates?
Student2: They're those thingys.
Mentor2: See, he's learning the terminology.
Student1: Look I've made it 4yrs just fine with, "What's that?"!!!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Student 1: "Which way is up?"
Student 2: "Umm... *motions toward ceiling* That way is up, John..."

He was referring to a piece that he was attaching to the robot. He wanted to know which side of the piece was supposed to go up.

(referring to last years robot) "What do you guys need all these zip-ties for?!"
Most of our electronics were held on with zip-ties.

Same person, same robot.

"OMG, why did you use this piece of plexiglass?" He goes on to hit it with a hammer.
The plexiglass is an inch thick with all the electronics mounted on it.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Okay... I have the electronics board done.... hopefully third time is the charm.

so what, so far we rebuild the wheels six times... the lift at least eight, and the electronics three.... the only thing we havent rebuilt is the transmission...

M- Well... maybe

Me- Well my car has magic powers.... it wont turn off! haha!
Bill- Your an idiot
Jan-How'd you manage that?
Me- Um... I don't know...

Don't worry, we still have six days...

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Me: "That's the teeny tiny little thing-a-ma-bobber. Duh."

Sam: "Okay, I'm going to teach you how to turn the robot on and off"
Me: "Don't you just flip the switch/ push the button?"
Sam: "Yes, but you'd be surprised how many times this thing has gotten broken!"
Me: "Broken??"
Sam: "Yea by D or S."
Me: "Oh, well that I can see, they're beasts."

Me: "What is that?"
Mr. Regan: "I don't think I should tell you that. Just don't inhale it."
Me: **scared face** "You wanna do it? I don't really want to die"
Regan: "You wouldn't die, just dont put it in the fire."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

While discussing who should drive the robot...

Me: "Does anyone object to me being the RoboCoach?"
Captain: "I don't know. Can you see over the wall?"
Me: "...I can bring a footstool."

My team likes to make fun of me for being short. This was one of their best insults.

So we're trying to figure out how to get more people to be able to cut and drill at a time, since our work table is too small for two people to work simultaneously.

Leader- Shane!!! Wheres the Chain Breaker??!?!?!?
Me- Not now Burg, Im in the foammm!!!!!


We finished( or thought we finished) the robot about 2 weeks early, so we tested it

Leader- Its Finally done extend the claw
Mentor 1- looks great, lets test it on teh ball
Mentor 2- wait a minute, is it out of the 80" rule??
Me- wat?? what are you talking about?
Mentor 2- Oh c**p
Other leader- you mean we have to do this over?

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

We were test driving the robot for the first time in close corridors
Me: "Chris, WHY DO YOU HAVE AN AXE!??!?!?!"

The robot began running into lots of things
Me: "Harrison, maybe we should try to NOT kill Regan's (our mentor) shop. That would be good.
Lawry: "DON'T HURT THE MILL!!! WE STILL NEED THAT!!!!"
Karen: "BUMPERS!!! LETS PUT THE BUMPERS ON!!!!"

as we leave the shop:
Me: "Hey Karen! Look at the floor!!!"
Karen: "THe stripper dust is working!!!! We now know where the robot has been, and who's been with it....":D

While working on the Hybrid programming

This is the LAST time we will try this.
Now this is the LAST time we will try this.


While describing the game to either a friend or with someone on the team can't remember

Me: The ball is 40 inches in diameter
Other: How tall is it
Me: The ball is 40 inches in diameter
Other: Yes, but how tall is it
Me: (sigh of disipointment)


Try the hybrid code, push the button. (robot starts moving) STOP (robot stops) I forgot to disconnect the labtop.

I was the last studen't left, and was workin on the drivetrain, the mentors were testing out lift...

Me- "Mentors realy shouldn't work on the robot without students..."
Mentor 1- "Well, your still here"
Mentor 2- "yeah, and besides, we wern't working on it, we were trying to break it!" (They twisted a peice of 1"x1" 80/20)

Me- "I dont think thats going to pass inspection"

Mentor:"Sparks! I saw sparks!"
Mentor 2:"Wait, turn it on again. Let me see!"
*we turn robot on*
Mentor 2:"Those aren't sparks, that's a FLAME!!!"
*and that's how Sparky got his name*

"You cracked the lexan!! Lexan. Doesn't. Break. What kind of Mechite are you?"

This year:
Me:"Why do you keep writing PWN? It's PWM!"
Other Programmer:"Too much gaming."

Programmer:"I wrote my code a week ago. Now that we have the robot, it should work perfectly!"
Wirer:"Yes, but every time you say that, the number of things that will go wrong increases by two."

Mechite:"Ok, so charge it to 60 psi."
Me:"Ok, turn the compressor on."
Wirer:"Compressor on."
Me:"10 psi...20,25,30,35,40,45,50.."
Me:"55, aand stop!"
Me:"STOP!!"
Wirer:"I was waiting for you to say 60!"

Mentor- "yeah..."
Me- "Told you so"
Mentor- "shut up"

Me- "YESSSSS!!!! The robot can hold the controllor board!"
Everyone in the room- "YES!"

(The previouse years OI was quite heavy and we didn't have a place to set it down while waiting to go on the feild)

Me- Just bolt it down allready...
(after 30 min of talking about how to mount somthing, it ended up being bolted don in the exact same position it started in)

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

i was buying some bolts for the robot a few days ago along with the finance head of our team.
The total was 1 Shekel (about 27 cents). He asked the seller for a reciept to get a refund from our sponsor.


Another good one is a problem i had a few days ago with Kevin's code. I was coding andbuilding till i finally managed to get a success in the build.
Then, for 5 hours i was uploading code to the robot, fixing stuff. No metter what i did the robot did not respond, not to the joysticks, not to the sensors, not to hybrid, anything! i was going crazy trying to figure out what it was, till i found out that the new MPLAB saves code by defauly in c:\mcc18\yourfolder
and i hve been uploading empty code from the desktop the whole time.
Once i found out what it was the other team members did not give me a break laughing at me, and i still recieve phone calls from them with the only goal to laugh at me :D

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

We lost the trackball in the lab quite a few times, which was always followed with a "how do we lose that thing in here?!"

"Buddy plugged the lift motor into the wheel motor!"

Not so much a saying as a lasting moment, we went ot scrimmage and came back with lots of free vitamin water, and so one of our freshmen drank 9 of them, and by about 10:30 that night he was loopy on it, and slighlty sick to the stomach, but wouldn't stop drinking it. :D

Me: (turns bumper upside down): It goes this way.
Rest of team erupts in laughter.

It's the front bumper, too. The mentors thought it was funny, so we left it that way. Anyone attending the Minnesota Regional, look for the team with the upside-down front bumper (unless it doesn't pass inspection and we have to fix it really fast).

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

One of our mentors (college student) had cut off the end of a Zip-tie leaving a very sharp point. I asked him to cut it off flush with the latch to make it less likely to cut someone. As he was cutting it, I was warning him about the possibility that the pointed end might fly when he cut it and to make sure he was wearing his safety glasses.
His response:
"What good are those? That thing just shot up my nose"!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

said by our female mentor
"well, guys do like balls"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

When asked how to hurdle the ball I replied, "We can use a tractor beam."

At recurring pionts throught the six weeks when we ran into mechanical problems I would say "Should have used a tractor beam."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

whenever we were attaching something to the robot, but everybody was being lazy, one of us would say "use the magic constrain button"

this is because while designing, all of the parts on the inventor bot were just constrained, and didn't have any bolts or things holding it together

Um that's funny because I was the one who installed the pot on the robot. I assume you were referring to me...


Kevin: Lets do an omni drive with all traction wheels.
Me: That's not going to be very easy to turn.
Kevin: Yes it will, it will work.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

I never said that, I don't even like the traction wheels. And If you did it right you could do it with traction wheels and it would be easy to turn.

And you only installed the pot after I said I wouldn't tell you how to do it.

Kevin, AKA Coffeeism, is our super genius college student mentor who knows everything (yes, everything). So it never is actually his fault, but we pre-plan who we're going to blame.

OMG.. ironically we had a student on our team last year,, and he like knew everything... he was very "sure" of himself.. and like once year he FRIED A RC :O anyways...

The whole time he was on the team they referred to KFC (Kevin Fries Circuit) and every since he left we always say KFC whenever something goes wrong :P
