Your system will never retract; I'm not firing the pneumatics right now but the pistons are stuck in the out position. The force of the internal springs can't overcome the force of the air." "Can't you retract a single-acting pneumatic piston by dumping all of the air that's forcing the piston into the out position?" "...so remind me where we're dumping the air now. Is it into the piston, or is it into the closed safety valve?" "Hey, look!

Now every time we do something messy on our electronics board we say "The wire nazi is going to come for you if you don't fix that" "Why is the floor covered in used zip ties after every meeting" "We should have a scavenger hunt on our robot. We fill out a sheet and make people find where we used conspicuous materials like plywood, duct tape and Velcro." "I have an awesome idea for our crate to make it stick out. We should cover it in like 10 rolls of duct tape." "Lets name it TIMMY" "Ugh why do we have to put a wireless router on the 12 volt converter? I mean our jury rigged stuff only has a small chance of catching on fire." "First needs to come with a warning 'Extreme robots may cause headaches'." So many more . . . |

We run the arm all the way to the max "up" position and the programmer realizes he forgot to load the second part of the code that allows it to go down. A new mentor that joined the team 3 days ago yelled from across the room "Hey guys if you cant get that thing down within 4 hours you better call a doctor" I am not not sure what was funnier the joke or the fact that out of about 30 kids in the build room only 2 of us got it...... |

So this one was over a period of time when we went to dinner and one of our guys was txting us. We had said that we got some strippers and hookers. We have a cage in our school which is where we put all of our robotics stuff. He told us to put the strippers and hookers inside the cage for him tmr. Our friend replied okay but your getting seconds. The next day he came in asking, so where are my strippers and hookers, we proceed to pull out strippers and the hook side of velcro.
