Question! Was it Dean or Dave who said, while talking about the game during the kickoff broadcast, 'Now the diabolical plan here....' and then, I think, went on to talk about partnering with FLL and so on.
I am almost positive it was Dean but we must attribute CORRECTLY...hehe... [edit] And Dave's story about the rookie team that packed their robot in FedEx boxes! Epic! Was that FRC Team 166 or 116? :o Demosthenes, do you know?] |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
My dad is one of the mentors of my team, and after he saved us one season from having a broken robot (we call him engineering jesus), everyone started taking everything he said seriously. My dad's a real joker, so he had some fun with them. Near the end of the season, when we had to lose weight, he recommended drilling holes in the motor. They thought he was serious. They spent 30 minutes talking about it before he told them that he was joking

"Me: So I've put together a temporary replacement system. Unfortunately, the camera doesn't work. Because of that, I had to disable the dashboard. Also, this laptop only has one working USB port, so we can't use the I/O board. I'm not really sure if it can handle joysticks either. Other Person: Well can it drive the robot? Me: Probably. Oh wait, I fried the ethernet system a week ago" |
