Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Remember how last year, there were so many jokes with the word "balls"? Well, our team has started doing the same thing with "rack."


"Our robot finally has a rack..."
"A huge rack, too!"


"Hey, stop touching the rack!"


I have a feeling it will only get worse...

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

While watching the kickoff video(on kickoff) "Nice Rack!" and so it began...

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

During our 2nd strategy/design meeting, a question was asked:

person 1: "And we'll have the arm go to preset heights, so the driver won't worry"
person 2: "Foote, can we program it to do that?"
me: "Just give us the hardware and we'll be able to program it to do anything."

"Why does it smell like bad?" as we did some work on our old 2001 robot

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Don't let the smoke out of the robot, or else the electronics won't work."
"...What smoke?"
"The magical smoke that make electronics work."
"Oh, okay."

(Conversation between me and Ken, a mentor. He was talking about the smoke.)



"Okay, now turn that handle.... uh.... thirty-two times."

(Me talking at somebody who was milling.)



"I hate burs." *Spins a power drill on high speed with a reaming bit in it*

(Me talking to Connor, one of the other Chassis members)


"Farbon Ciber"

(Random 675 saying)


When that one dude kept saying "The game" a lot of 675 members kept groaning and making their distress public.


While talking about reservations for the San Jose regional:

"We can't go anywhere else than Motel 8! It's like a tradition for 675! Not to mention, all the hookers downstairs and the wild, fake sex in the bathroom!"

Then another person chimed in, after we were talking about how we all went to denny's:
"Wait, you all went to Denny's? Oh yeah, I remember that. I actually went to sleep, then I woke up and I was like "You went WHERE? WITHOUT ME?""

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Me: "How come the transmission smells funny?" (I said that when assembling the CIM/56mm Transmission, the grease or whatever BaneBots uses smells funny Dx)

---------------

Me: "Okay... so. I'm three thousandths of an inch off. Nobody will know."
*Later, when assembling a part on to the transmission assembly*
Me: "Balls. That hole is three thousandths of an inch off."

---------------

Mentor: "Always leave 1/32nd for human error."

---------------

Me: "Where the hell is Blake?"
Somebody else: "He went to a LAN Party last night. Either he's gaming or sleeping."
Me: "Well then, we make decisions without him."

---------------

Cecily: "I want to burn that hat. Can I burn the hat?"

---------------

Shawnie: "The hat is evil. It gets like a foot away from you and it's all like "Hello, I am a hat."


(All hat references are referencing Team 100's mascot, a giant orange and black hat.)

---------------

Robin: "Cambot, you're a nub. A nubby nubby nub nub nub."

(Robin Davis talking to our Camera Bot)

---------------

Me: "It would be so hilarious if somebody jumped out of the crate yelling "LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROYYYYYYYYYY JEEEEEEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIIIINS!"."
Somebody else: "Shut up, Baker."

---------------

Robin: "Burninated!"

---------------

Me: "Oh woah woah woah, The mill is in eighth inch increments?"
Mentor: "Uh... yeah...What do you think .125 is?"
Me: "I dont's know maths!"

---------------

Somebody else: "Yeah, and they'd pay for transportation to Atlanta, too."
Me: "Heh. We'd probably fly. With snakes."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Britnie: "Can I turn it on?"
Phil: "It's very hard to turn it on."
Koza: "It takes a special skill to get those on."
Kenny: "Especially those older ones..."
[Britnie proceeds to turn on the 3yr old compressor]
Koza: "She's got the special touch."

One of many, many more :D

Mentor: "You can't mill with the drilling chuck!"

(It's true, we tried, and ended up making a rifled hole in our aluminium... it looks cool...)

-------------

Weaver: "So what, should we put that pizza in the fridge?"
Me: "Nah, just leave it on that table overnight."
Weaver: "Alright."
Me: "Besides, I'll eat that for breakfast tomorrow."

-------------

Brian: "We should name our robot 'Bess'."
Me: "Why?"
Brian: "So at the competiton, we can say 'Blocked by Bess!'"

-------------

Me: "I need the digital-ey slide-y measure-y thing-y."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Laura: "Hey, this drill smells... bad"
Me: "Like, ozone?"
Laura (hands over drill): "Here, smell it"
(Smells like ozone)
Me: "Smells like ozone alright. Just like my egg beater"
Laura: "Eggbeaters aren't supposed to smell like that."

(Laura was under a ladder)
Me: "Turn around. No bad luck for you"
(Laura backs up and hits her head on a spider arm)

Not quite a quote, but somebody on my electronics team was crimping a terminal onto the battery-gauge wire, and he held it vertically to crimp, by the crimping tool. He had already crimped it down before he realized that the wire had fallen out first.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

During lunch Saturday:

Mark (a mentor): Dan, did you wash your hands before eating?

Me (Dan): No, I don't need to. During the Build Season, I eat enough iron here at Robotics so that I don't need to eat any more spinach at home.

Mark: We are working with mostly aluminum.

Me: Oh, I'm going to wash my hands then.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

One of our mentors is very adamant about not just jumping in with a design unless you've run the numbers, so it's become a sort of saying with us:

"Oh wait, I'm sorry, I haven't 'run the numbers' yet."

"Nope, I'm not listening until you run the numbers. Try again."

"Ookaaay...you run those numbers, then we'll talk."

So now, whenever someone says it, the mentor who started it asks "Alright, what can I throw this time..."



Devynn - "Three doesn't divide equally when dealing with humans, does it?"



Parent - "There's a lot of pizza going into this endeavour, isn't there?"



*after the second slashed tube*
Mr. Phil - "Okay, you're all on official tube tossing restriction..."



*loud obnoxious clanging noise* "Okay, this time, I'll admit that was me. My bad!"



"Is there any pizza left?"
"...no."
"We just got it ten minutes ago!"
"Exactly. It's been ten minutes."
*so that was about three minutes per pizza*

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Me: Hey, hand me the whatcha ma-jig for the thingie-mabob.
