Chief Delphi - "Quotes" that were said during build season

Mechanical says it's not our problem, ONE of you get it fixed YESTERDAY so we can install the next new feature. (And we don't care who fixes it.)

Or, the classic sequence when the robot isn't working:

"It's not a mechanical problem, we built it! Programming problem!"
"It's not a code problem, we programmed it! Electrical problem!"
"It's not an electrical problem, we wired it! Mechanical problem!"

"SOFTWARE!!!"
-Everyone on my team, from the mechanical guys to the software department.

Especially when it isn't a software problem.

It became especially ironic this year because we pressured the other departments to finish so much that we had some serious code tested and running on the robot by the end of week 4, and spent most of the last week doing software calibration and driver training.

Solution: Programmers should check electrical, Electrical should check mechanical and mechanical should check Programmers.

That's real problem solving :P

You're assuming that mechanical can code. I might be able to understand it if programming commented enough--or to save my life--but not well enough to check it. Try mechanical checking electrical, electrical checking programming, and programming checking mechanical.

It doesn't mean that they can code. I can read over 20 different programming languages and understand what is going on. That doesn't mean that I know that language fluently. Also, Java is taught to most students in our school so there is at least one person in each team that can code, or at least read java.
:p :D :p :cool: ::ouch::
