Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

FIRST is trying to change the culture. Let us start by making it grammatically correct. For example, the title of this thread should be "Quotations" that were said during build season and not This change needs to be made because to quote is a verb, but this title needs a noun .

A note: since this thread currently doesn't have a correct title, I don't need to follow its instructions.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

I believe that's why the word is in quotation marks. The quotations are colloquially referred to as "Quotes", and thus the thread becomes more recognizable as a thread for amusing banter.

Mentors: Hey! whats taking so long!
me: sorry, it takes like 40 seconds to connect, give it a minute
*motors go full forward*
me: Hey! i think its connected....

Or there was an embarrassing one on the field.

So we were waiting for all the robots to connect. and ours wasnt. So we reset our DS and still didn't connect. They reset the field and told us to turn off our robots... Well.... lets just say the field wasn't happy when i said

"During competition, everything that can and cannot go wrong will go wrong." -- I've had to say this at least once a year, every year, since I was in 6th grade in FLL. It seems that we always have new problems develop, or problems that seem more like freak accidents than anything else, things that simply cannot go wrong, at competitions. It was upheld this year, when a vex remote battery somehow got bits of its leads stripped, and it shorted out and leaked inside our controller, minutes before a match at the vex world championship.

gotta love that, every saturday morning during build season and the mornings during trips :)

(when we arrived at the hotel in atlanta)
sabrina: "hey guys, you might wanna come see the bed."
danielle: "what do you mean, the bed?"
me: "bed, as in the singular form? like, one bed?"
sabrina: "yes. bed. one king-sized bed. for the three of us."

Those I remember from the past couple years:

Alex: Hey Yoo!
*I look up*
Alex: Not "You" you, "Yoo" you.
I knew exactly what he meant, too.

From a sign that was up for most of 07-08:
"Stuffed Animals are friends and erasers!

Not a quote, but just the same:
A student on our team throws a hackeysack across the room, aiming for a friend (I forget why her friend was being targeted), but misses and hits an unsuspecting rookie in between them on the side of the face. After the commotion dies down and our teacher figures out what happened, he proceeds to give the rookie the hackeysack and then hold a whiteboard behind the student who threw the sack.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"is this ok?"
"well, it's not on fire. It must be" =]

was said to me after connecting a few wires several minutes after a fellow team mate closed up a circuit of pure 24V and wires went on fire lol

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Similarly, in 2007, we spent thre hours each on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday trying to figure out why our camera wasn't working. I couldn't attend the Saturday meeting, and wished the team luck getting the camera to work. The next Tuesday, I walked in:

Me: "So, did you get the camera working?"
Mentor: "Yes."
Me: "What was wrong with it?"
Mentor: "It was mounted upside down."

Yes; when the camera tried to make a slight correction to the left, it actually went right, causing a larger correction to the left, which went even farther right...yeah, that didn't work.


This year, after a match:
Me: "Any problems with the robot?"
Driver: "The drive system was acting weird."
Other Driver: "And the pivoter didn't work."

The build team went to work fixing the pivoter while I checked out the drive system programming. I couldn't help but laugh when I realized I had left the robot in tuning mode, which used the pivoter switch to change a drive system PID constant. No wonder it was acting weird; the more the second driver tried to make the pivoter turn, the worse the drive system got.

Trish: "No, you don't eat the NON-FLAVORED chapstick!"

Trish: "So Asian's a kind of Chinese?"

Out coach had given our School Newspaper an interview and they just slaughtered everything he said. They pulled this epic FAIL out of a hat:

"YOU RIP WHAT YOU PUT ANYWHERE!"

Completely out of the blue. We read the article, but didn't notice it at first due to it being the very last sentence. Eventually someone read the whole thing diligently, and brought it to our attention. We had a good laugh afterward, and still occasionally use it as a pun...

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Our school has done the same thing, although not nearly as horribly. Their mistakes were limited to the grade of one of our students, the days we meet, and they implied that the Vex competition was called Overdrive.

There are a couple of pictures in our yearbook this year of members that graduated last year.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Our yearbook has only last years member list on it and the championship picture...

from our offseason event back in October that very few people went to and even fewer are in.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

The only thing I know of that our yearbook has done was demote a member (and others) to a lower grade. Twice!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

haha... even a rookie team has their fair share...

"Thats what she said!!" - Everyone at some point or another
"Can I get some Linux on those fries?" - Mike
-We were at dinner during the competition, at Ruby Tuesdays or something, and one of our programmers asked for Linux on his fries as a joke. Responses from the waitress included "Lemons?", "Lettuce?", and things like that. Good times, 3044!! :D

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

I was amazed that the robotics team had a picture in the yearbook (not that I should have been, just was). They had all the people in the picture listed but misspelled one of the last names :rolleyes:

Quotes from our build season:
-four mentors were all trying to get a conveyor shaft into place
Student: "Adult assembly is required"

- Student: "Could someone please explain what 'That's what she said jokes mean'"?
Other student: "You'll understand by the end of build season"

(Karibou already posted all the others I remember)

"Let's sing happy birthday... And everyone try to stay on the same note as I am." - One of the few memebers of the team with any musical talent.

"Why do you look so disturbed... Don't you want cake?" - Mentor birthday card to our teacher, which included pictures of two of our college mentors after digital gender-altering surgery. It wasn't pretty.

WHOOO! 1806, S.W.A.T. Team!!!

We lost to an alliance containing S.W.A.T. Team and The Bomb Squad last year. They ended up winning the regional.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Oh yeah, I forgot about labels!

"BACKWARDS"
"until we fix it"
-Two labels, one above the other, on a sensor cable that we had soldered backwards and didn't want to spend the time fixing.

"maybe bad"
-Written on any battery that fails to hold a charge. Or, more accurately, any battery that we think cannot hold a charge because we think its charged when its not and try to use it.

"(really) (really) stupid light"
-Label on the yellow diagnostic light on our robot. Every time we have to spend two hours tearing apart our wiring to fix said nearly useless component, it gets an additional "(really)". We actually refer to this as the Stupid Light in general conversation now, capitalizing and pronouncing it as if that is its proper name.

"this is not a toy"
-Label on the disable dongle after someone broke it by toggling it back and forth all day out of boredom.

"Auto Brake: Arm/Disable"
-Label on a military-style switch on our custom control box, meant to imitate an actual switch found on a Boeing 747. We also have flight simulator joysticks, so this is appropriate.

"magic/more magic"
-XKCD switch labels on our teleop/autonomous switch. We wanted to use "order/chaos", but the programmers and drivers couldn't agree on which mode got which label.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Told to our programmers on a daily basis during build;

MAKE MORE TYPINGS.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

We call ours the "Doofy yellow light".

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

We have a similar switch, only it has one label and one of those epic protection thingys on it...don't ask me to describe, I'm software.

"Win Button" even though it's a switch. I don't know why.

Both this year and last year at awards banquet: "THE CAKE IS NOT A LIE!"

And some old ones:
"Do you think we'll get extra points if we have it do a barrel roll?"
"The output of the one shot is the clock for the flip-flop."

Our FTC team place 49th out of 50 at Atlanta, 2009 (FRC fared better, BTW). We lost all six of our matches. The 48th seed was 5-1.

Student: "Hey, at least we weren't the worst. We seeded higher than one team who also lost all six matches."
Mentor: "That's because we let our opponents score more during our six losses."

We all thought about this for a second, realized he was right (rank by RP fails when you have more losses than wins) and that we were the worst performers on the field that day.

Me: "Hey guys, turn on the computers."
<two students punch the power buttons on each computer>
Mac user student: "You guys turn on your computers in such a weird way!"
Student: "We...press the power button? :confused: "
Mac user: "But it's a power button on a big ugly black box!"
Me: "And you press the power button on a small pretty silver box?"
Mac user: "I know! It's so different!"

Student: "...and then my computer got like a thousand viruses."
Mac user: "Well I use Macs so I don't have to worry about that."
Student: "You will soon; Mac is becoming more popular, and hackers are going to start targeting it."
Mac user: "Hey, at least we'll always be pretty!"

Me: "Does everyone remember what I told you about the joystick methods?"
Student 1: "Oh yeah, that zero one two thing."
Student 2: "They return -1.0 for forward and 1.0 for back."
Student 1: "That's what I meant."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

One of team members has a really bad vocabulary. He didn't know how to spell "cautious", spelling it "caucus". He also pronounced "queue" kway-you. So now when we are getting ready to queue up to the robot, someone will say "Be caucus on the 'kway-you'!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Some people actually pronounce that word "kway," while most pronounce it "kyew." I think this kid was just being politically correct by including parts of both pronunciations. :p
