Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
In Norview's first year, the team came into the possession of a mallet with a yellow plastic end and a pink eraser-like rubber end. No one remembers exactly when, but John, the mechanical leader at the time, took a pink marker and wrote "DOOM HAMMER" on the handle. Despite three years of misuse by hammering things meant for a hammer, not a mallet, it still remains a staple in the shop. Every now and then, like during the FTC season, the following exchange (or something close enough) takes place.
1: Hold on, I have to pound this collar onto the axle. 2: Okay 1: Hey, where'd doom hammer go? 2: It poofed! 1: Great. I hope it poofs back this time. 2: Wait. Dude, its on the pegboard. 1: WHEN DID THAT GET THERE?! |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
My favorite thing so far this season is we have a table that one of the teachers at our school doesn't like us putting things on. He decided to write a sign saying "DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON THIS TABLE". It's in a convenient spot next to our hand mill/lathe. I now have four pictures of just random things on the table people put there just instinctively and he just put the sign up last week. I'm looking forward to showing him all the pictures at the end of the season

Back story: We work in a team member's garage, and since it's 30ish degrees here (if we're lucky), we use propane heaters to keep ourselves from freezing to death. Unfortunately, these are REALLY hot when you get close.
I came in late to a meeting once after school, and all I hear is "Don't let the smoke into the house!!!!" "Guys, what happened? What lit on fire?" "Libby, it's not a fire per se...it's a contained, smoldering garbage can!" Note: All was fine- a bag of chips got too close to the heater, and when it got hot the student holding it threw it in the trash in fear...setting the paper towels in the trashcan aflame. If your team is in a similar situation as we are, please be careful around heaters. Fire is bad. |
