"I code my own Friday nights" General response of the system teams when asked about what they are doing on their Friday nights. Me: "If it doesn't require duct tape, cable ties, or hot glue; then you didn't build it right" Me: "Sleep is an accessory not a necessity, just like strippers I can use my teeth" Once our team was stuck without any wire strippers, so I resorted to using my teeth to strip the insulation. Student: "Anybody have a hair tie" Me: "I've got a zip tie" Student: "Perfect!"

Took me twenty minutes to get the thing out, along with three different allen wrenches, two socket wrenches, four pairs of pliers, and a fair amount of yelling at the stupid bolt to GET THE $!&%$#&!% OUT OF THERE!!!!

At Clemson, we had an hour to kill so we walked up to the graveyard to explore and we found an abandoned cell phone sitting on a rock. One of my friends picked it up and looked at the pics to see whos it was (it was slightly creepy that all the pics showed only half of the guys face). Anyway, we put it back and then throughout the rest of the weekend:
"OMG is that the guy from that phone we found in the cemetery?" "He does look like him, but his nose is too small..." "He could have had surgery" "Well he could have dyed his hair too, changed his eye color..."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
One of our mentors, as mentioned back in 2008 or 2009, is famous for his IBC's or Inappropriate Bill Comments. He named our winch system the hooker, leading to several funny quotes.
Exasperated Student after the winch jam's again: "Screw the hooker! Wait not like that!" One time the mentor put two halves of a coconut on the bot as the school principal walked in. After hearing about 2 sentences, he left, leaving us wondering about the future of the team. (Fortunately, there were no repercussions.) And the all hilarious St. Louis Regional. With several mishaps and mistakes (liking shattering a screwdriver by using to bend our frame back into place, and finding out our IR sensor for if a ball was in the proper spot for firing prevented going over the bumps) we had the funniest lunch break ever. The parking garage has low ceilings and the teacher that was driving the school van said, "Shoot, I don't think the van is going to make it out. It's too tall." To which a senior replied, " That's what she said." After five minutes of everybody laughing (including the girls) we finally left, making it out with no problem. At the restaurant, one of the girls was ordering with the teacher, because she had forgot her wallet. The teacher walked up to the counter and said, " Hi, we're together. Wait! not like that. I mean we're ordering together." The other team members who were ordering screwed up (like I had to recount how much money I was supposed to give since I was laughing so hard.) And after several more funny comments, on the way back into the parking garage, we hit one of the tubes that is designed to tell you if you're going to hit the ceiling. (It is weirdly placed, inside right before the ramp up to the next level, and if you hit it, there is no way out. And for some reason, the van only hits it going in, and hits nothing else.) We all started laughing again. And when trying to park, since I was riding shotgun (unique for a freshman), I was to get out and say how much farther back he had to back up. I said he had a little bit father (meaning about two feet), and he backed up 1 inch. Everyone got, and realized that he still had 2 feet to go. After so laughing, we headed back inside to inform the rest of the team how hilarious the hour was, and on to problems with the robot. Sigh, if only theory was real. |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
This was said just a matter of minutes ago...we are working on a prototype chassis to figure out the drive train and electrical components since we are a rookie team.
Talking about adding weight to the chassis to make it more realistic and robust... Mentor: we will have to have a small child on it...maybe a couple... Student: I'LL MAKE ONE REAL QUICK! |
