Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Whenever we work on the robot after the the electronics are mounted, we always put a sheet on top of them to avoid metal shavings going into them. This sheet didn't help too much when we were working on the arm and i dropped my wrench really close to the jaguar, hence the new favorite phrase of the build team "there go the jaguars" - the programmers really love this one

Our robot was just being assembled and we were verifying the colors of the jags with software so we don't grind any gears. The robot breaker was off, and someone asked what color they should be.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Mr. Sarber explained to us two Golden Rules when it comes to robot building:
1. If you have to fit something through a hole and it's not quite working, you can always just make the hole bigger. 2. If all else fails, whack it with a hammer. Our rookies presented the not-quite complete robot built during the off-season to the veterans... "Simply gathering the materials for Aragog [the robot] was a grueling and arduous task, involving a trip through the Fiery Chasms of Doom (all 72 of them), and subjecting us to the sight of me wearing a dress. We lost many sorely-missed team members to such mishaps as tripping over a nail. Still, through it all, we persevered and were able to mostly build a robot. It doesn't quite work yet, but it's the thought that counts." Wondering if we should apply for the Chairman's Award... "Sounds good, guys, I'll get writing." ... "Say, does anybody know how our team has creatively spread the message of FIRST through our community?" "Um, most of the school doesn't even know we exist." "Shoot. I can write a prize-winning paper - and I have - but not if I don't have anything to write about!" After break... "Okay, so we've finished everything except for one-twentieth of the Goldfish Colors." "Be nice if we could finish all but one-twentieth of the robot. ... And by 'finish,' I mean 'build,' not 'eat.'" "Of course." "Yeah, don't eat the robot." |

"Dangle of 45" in reference to setting up the shooter---"Well it's going to be at 45 degrees, and you want to know where to mount it, so the sin of fourtyfive is root 2 over 2, roughly seventy percent, so you want to take the length of the shooter frame, multiply by point seven o seven and that will be the mounting point for one end. Since it is a fourtyfive fourtyfive ninety you can take the same distance down and drill there since the cosin of fourtyfive is also root two over two. Need proof talk to the calculator."
