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

"My delta is we haven't made a Princess Bride reference in over 20 minutes."

"Thank you for using my formal name: Pretty Pretty Princess."

"Well, it fits with this year's theme... we all have the plague."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

So our chain came off of our drivetrain today. Of course we had not put chain tensioners on them yet.

Mentor: There are bolts in the wheels right?

Team Member #1: Umm....maybe...BECCA!!!

Becca: Umm..nooooo.

Mentor: No wonder we aren't turning correctly!

We outlawed applause for dropped items over a year ago. Individual comments, delivered sotto voce, are expected to be witty, or at least half-so.

No cheap shots at members of your own ~~team~~family.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

This wasn't at the build site, but it was during build season (today). Veronica was coming out of total anesthetic from a dental procedure, but when I told her about it later it again generated the massive grin. OBTW, Veronica is planning a career as an ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter and/or teacher.

Veronica (drops cell phone): I meant to do that.
G2: That's what the cat said.
Veronica: We don't have a cat.
G2: That's what all cats say when they make something fall.
Veronica: Cat's can't talk.
G2: No, but they can sign.
Veronica: (Massive Grin). I could teach cats to sign!

"What is a team standard?" "It's like a flag, but you have to make it"

"What is a PID loop?" "It is the reason why the arm is flailing"

"Why doesn't it drive straight?"

"Wait so the bumpers are required this year?"

Immediately after programming drove the robot off a table into me and another engineer

"Well, the good news is that drive code is now working. The bad news is that it doesn't want to stop working."

-Software loads code onto robot-

Software Student: Okay, you can hopefully drive the robot now

Driver: Alright, -drives robot around for 3 seconds- this feels pretty good.

-Driver presses the trigger on the joystick, which enabled the yet to be tested PID-

-Robot proceeds to drive towards wall, and comms get cut, as the robot misses my ankles by -this- much, and crashes into the wall next to me-

Software Student & Driver -cringes-

Me: Well, that didn't work.
