This when our robot decided to autonomously chase after a programmer.

OK this has now officially become a 2006 quotes thread, not just whats been said during the six week build season, but anything said during the year.

Heres one from Boilermaker, On the way back to the hotel after the team social, the van I was riding is pasted a StarBucks. We then started talking about StarBucks and One of our drive team members said, "White hot chocolate from StarBucks is the shizz." We started cracking up after she said that, we also say it when ever we see her.

That had to be one of my favorite moments from attending Boilermaker this year.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

At a sleepover with several team members(last night actually):

"OW, I knocked my hand unconcious!!!"
"Where is your foot?" "I don't know, do you see it anywhere?"
"My tongue is broken."
"I like cheese." "Oh yeah well I like robots."
*long argument about whether we should have won a particular match during eliminations at Chesapeake* "It doesn't matter, we're going to Atlanta!!" "...good point."


At dinner on Friday night of Chesapeake, when we were undefeated and in first place(as we stayed), I was talking to some of our mentors about the drive train changes we had tried to make on Thursday. We had tried to upgrade from the small CIM motors to the big ones on our drive, and had discovered the flaws with the standard conversion plate. In the end, we changed the gear ratios to give us more speed instead. I still sort of wished we had gone more defensive since the beginning, and this conversation came about...

Me: ...if we had done that, we would've-
Mentor: We would've been in, what, FIRST PLACE?!?!?!?
Everyone at table: *laughs*
(I admitted, he was right...but I still love defense :cool: )

More...that the three of us, at part 2 of the sleepover mentioned in a previous post tonight, just came up with...


We were just talking about something a team did at Chesapeake...the team was at both Pittsburgh and Chesapeake, like us, so Sarah said "Wait, was that today??" (Sarah's going to bed soon...)

At lunch at a pizza place:
Philip: Hey Steph, are those plates?
Me: No, Philip, they're big, hard, reusable NAPKINS!!!!!!!!!!! :cool:

At Wendy's, after my first experience watching part of a competition, I see a sign advertising a BLT salad..."Why is there a robot in the salad??"

Our infamous list of "car quotes":

"ZACH!!!!!! PULL YOUR PANTS BACK UP!!!!! THERE ARE GIRLS IN THE CAR!!!!!!!" -said by Zach's dad, who was driving...I swear, nothing bad was going on, but I'll leave you to your imaginations on that one...hehe.

James was extremely tired and had a Snickers bar wrapper and a pocket knife...so....he started shredding the wrapper to keep himself awake.
"OW, I poked myself...OOOOWW, I poked myself AGAIN..."*many times later*"James, PUT THAT AWAY!!!!!!!"

Philip in the car...
It gets dark outside. 10 minutes later..."HEY, it got dark!!!"
The car stops. 10 minutes later..."HEY, we stopped!!!"
The car starts moving. 10 minutes later..."HEY, we're moving!!!"

Philip:*slowly moves highlighter RIGHT beside my face*
Me: AHHHHH!! Jeez, don't DO that!!!
Philip:*waits 10 seconds, does it again*
Me:*grabs highlighter and chucks it at Philip*
We never saw the highlighter again... :eek:

A team member's younger brother, when seeing lights in the sky....
"What are those?...AHHHHHHHHHH, ALIENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Trying to find our way out of Pittsburgh...
James:Hey, we passed that last night on our way to dinner!!
Me: DANG IT...there's that cathedral...
James:That means...
Me:Yep...45 minute circle around Pittsburgh...there's the arena again...

Trying to find the arena at Pittsburgh...
Me:Hey, look, it's a dinosaur with a top hat!!! (Dinosaur statue, it was SERIOUSLY there!!!)
Everyone:*looks at me like I'm crazy*
James:It's got a bow tie, too!!

James:*working on BOM in the car, on a laptop*Hey, I wonder how far down I can make this Excel sheet go....
Me:I really shouldn't have given you that computer, should I?
James:Nope.

Signs held to the car window:
"HONK IF YOU HATE TRAFFIC!!"
"$5 FOR EVERY WAVE!!!!"
"HONK IF YOU LOVE ROBOTS!!"
(We got 9 waves, 4 honks, and a peace sign.)

Random person: I can't see!!
Everyone:*looks at light for no real reason*
Driver:*turns light on*
Everyone: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Me, explaining on the whiteboard to the rest of the programming team how the ball feed system on the shooter works in conjunction with the sensors on the elevator and the software state machine:

Me, to a mentor: What do you mean? YOU GOT RID OF THE SENSORS TO SAVE WEIGHT?!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Well, there was one qoute that our student team leader said but i have a feeling if i post it, i may get flamed and harrased by him or other team members. So, I will post one that I have continuously said since last year. And I now love to say it. I've even heard a freshman say it, even though I don't think they know what tetras are....
"I always think outside the box and inside the <del>triangle</del>
tetra."


GAA!!! Okay, so does html not work on here? ^ Is supposed to look like triangle has a line through it.
