Coach: "I got an e-mail from Sean's mother, they were looking for 3339, Sean is from Tel-Aviv Israel."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

I was so excited we won Chairman's at WPI I accidentally banged the trophy against my mouth, leading to...

"Guys, I think I'm bleeding..."
"How?"
"The triangle part of the trophy hit my gums...but don't worry the trophy's fine"
"Good because I was about to say, if you got blood on that I would've killed you."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

I have this cut on my chin
form the tingle piece on the trophy No lie

"Yeah When I get back to our pit I am going sand the sharp points of this trophy" Over heard form the 2 people that went up to get there teams safety award in the VCU Regional

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

That's why they give you two! So if you get blood on one... or sit on one... you're okay!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Actually...now that I think about it...it was the circle...

Ahhh it makes sense now! Glad it's all covered :D

Student 1: "Where's the emery cloth? The one we had earlier?"
Student 2: "I don't know; I can't find it."
<a few minutes later, after being unable to find it still>
Student 1: "Here, why don't we just use this sandpaper?"
Student 2: "No, that has a different grit; we need to find the sandpaper."
<five minutes later...realize this is 1:00 AM the day before competition>
Student 2: "You sure we can't just use this sandpaper?"
Student 1: "Give me that..."

"I'm definitely going to the competition... I want to see Ellen in her natural habitat."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

I would just like to point out that the announcer you are quoting is me (see avatar), good catch! I remember this quote too... one of the members of my team made fun of me for it. What I was trying to communicate was that 2168 had no defense being played on it because 411 had died on the field in front of their goal and therefore had to drive carefully to get the balls away from 411 without causing any intentional damage.

Of course, if you saw me there, I was running around, jumping, yelling, etc... at basically all times, there's no time for corrections, only ACTION. Haha, I hope my overall performance otherwise makes up for that fun blunder? :rolleyes:

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Oh, don't feel too bad; I'm the guy who made fun of you for it. I'm Josh, that programming guy from last year - remember? :D I was hanging out with you guys because my current team didn't make it to the eliminations and you did. :p Look through this thread and read my posts; you'll remember many of the quotes. :)

Your announcing was absolutely amazing, Kevin. On Friday morning I was rather upset and disappointed because my team wasn't doing very well. Then I listened to some of your announcing, and it made my day. :D I especially love the way you annunciate the team names. When you introduced, "Steve and His Company" I burst out laughing.

Great job with the announcing and making it to the semifinals.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

I should have figured it was you! Haha, that's one of my favorite quotes of me too, I wondered if anyone else caught it. Also serious thanks for the compliments, it means a lot!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

I was sitting cross legged on the floor with a two x four in my lap drawing random red lines on the side I was going to cut off because I didn't feel like cutting it yet. One of my team-mates was sitting with a rolling chair rolling away because she "didn't want to be involved with this anymore." A second team-mate who I was working with was leaning against the end-mill looked at her and said

"It's not my fault I'm an enabler!"

Earlier that day with that same enabling team mate (who happens to be build leader):

Me: "DUDE! the fact that you lost 26 points was a sign from the karmic...karmic...umm...."
Build Leader: "Karmic Chameleons???"
Both: "5 minutes of laughter"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Also I'd like to mention team 1137 "Rocket Sauce."

Me: "Hey 1137, I just need to check over this information here about your team, sponsors and robot, okay?"
-they check everything, all is well-
Me: "Oh, and does your robot have a nickname?"
Team 1137: "Yeah, 'Admiral Wolverine Lightning Bolt The Third Commando'"

Every time I had to say that I wanted to die laughing.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

I forgot this one, its pretty funny.

Safety Judge: "Can we talk to your safety captain."
Me: "Ishaan, who's wearing the button?? Oh, Haley come here."
SJ: "Tell us about your safety program."
Haley: "Actually (turns to me) I was only wearing this because you weren't here. (takes off button) Here ya go."
Me: "Hi...uhhh, what was the question?"
SJ: "Tell us about your safety program."
(I give a drawn out discussion of our practically non-existent safety program)
SJ: "So what do you do during the build and competition season beside your Hammer build program?"
(Team President steps in and gives a 2nd in depth discussion of the Hammer Build)


Later that same day of competition.

SJ: "We're collecting safety tokens."
Me: "Where are our safety tokens?"
Team: "I dunno your the safety captain."
Me: "So?? I'll check the drawer." (find all three, go to leave the pit and almost trip on bumpers)
Mentor: "Don't trip on those bumpers there, and lose all the safety tokens."

Heh, that's not as bad as a very enthusiastic senior on 339 last year who tried to segue every conversation with the judges into a discussion of a specific engineering feature on the robot...including the business plan and safety judges. Although I must admit, she was instrumental in earning us Delphi DTT in Atlanta.

A mentor from another team and I were making fun of the KoP BOM this year:
Me: "Some of these things are rather ridiculous...I mean, 'brass bag'?"
Mentor: "We used ONE of those, by the way."

While watching a fan spin:
Student 1: "Man, our robot sucks!"
Student 2: "No...our robot blows."

We were having trouble connecting an FTC sensor since their PWM cables have male ends:
Student: "Hey Josh, we have a gay connector problem."
And I won't post my response here...let's just say it involved everyone's favorite type of crimp connector used to join two wires together.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Operations Director: WHY DO WE KEEP GETTING SAFETY TOKENS??? (after our safety captain had just tripped on our bumpers for the robot and the Ops Director had tripped on our cart)

For some reasons, safety judges love giving us safety tokens :P.

This wasn't really in the build season, but it was still pretty funny.

We were in a semi-finals match, and we were in the middle and getting warmer. The coach was getting excited and directing me towards an empty a goal. After the kick, this is what the coach said.

"HOLY CRAP, WHO PUT THAT ROBOT THERE?!?!?!?"

Turns out there was a robot sitting in front of the goal. Regardless it was HILARIOUS in the heat of the match.

"chuck?" Who is Chuck Marker? and why is he carrying an axe?

I can't hear your mentor say it, of course, but I've used the expression to convey the same thought about the measurement process. Don't bother with excess precision unless you intend to carry it all the way through. Oh, and I use a sharpie instead of chalk for marking and there's no axe in my toolbox.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

You'd be surprised how much marking a chuck can do. Just have to put it into the material without a bit in it. Works every time.:p
