Guess what's black, white, and NOT red all over? (HINT: It should be!)

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

THE RULES!!!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"tiny shminy" we use this all the time.

Can you pass me a tiny shminy drill bit...

Can you pass me the tiny shminy screw driver...


Another one Is "city worker", we use this when ever we create something thats not pretty.

I've been called a "city worker" many times because sometimes I make things that are functional but not pleasing to the eye. :p

DING DING DING!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!

The son of one of our mentors came up with this one:
"Why don't we just put Branden in a box and call him the robot?"
Branden (118 lbs.) is our programming god.

*robot makes loud obnoxious sqeaking noise*
Grease time!
*more obnoxious squeaking noises*
More grease!!



Me: "Sarah, go direct the freshmen, they look rather lost right now."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"MEHHHRRRRRRRR"

"dont worry its not precision work it's robotics"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Me: Their driver told me they're underweight this year.
Sarah: ...Can we steal a few pounds???


James: Oh crap, it's really bleeding now...


*after several instances of sparking*
Emily: Do we know how flamable this carpet is??

Programming or Wiring Representative: "How much longer till we get the robot?"
Me: "20 minutes"


---------3 hours later-------

Programming guy: " So when will it be done"
Me: "Shouldn't take more than 20 more minutes"


This was all too common as we hit problems this season.

Some others were:

Programming Mentor: "Our robot won't be able to do anything if you hardware guys don't give us the robot now!"

Me: "You can't seriously expect the robot two weeks into the build season!"

And yet he was serious...

Same Programming mentor: "If we don't have the larger wheels by tomorrow, we won't be able to program it to drive."

Under my breath: "Even if you had the wheels today you couldn't program it to turn on..."

If you can't tell, there is much tension between "Us hardware guys" and "Those weird software guys"

"The easiest way to put the blue smoke back in is blowing on it!"-Me
"COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (As he blows on the e- Box)"-NOOB

"so how many toes does a fish have?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Mentor: Whats that liquid on the robot?

Student: O, thats just Mountain Dew.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"I'm on two-mile an hour mode today. . ."
said by me when my brain isn't functioning quite right. :)

A conversation between the other person who really wants to drive and my brother.
"So, how much would it take to have you poison her?"
"Oh, say a mere $15,000."
"Hey Tony, can I borrow some money?":yikes:

said by a team parent:

Andy, it's good that you are ok, now that you are back from the hospital. We are glad that it happened to you, and not a student, though.

My friend Jamie--
"Sorry, I only recognize people in here with safety glasses on."

Me ( while mentally testing some code that I wrote )--
So...forward...SLAM! Oh, drat, that's a wall.

Me ( this time holding up a pair of wire cutters/crimpers) --
"Why is this in the refrigerator?"

Our captains --
CJ ( programming/electrical ) -- "This looks like a bolt."
Frederick ( Mechanical ) -- "That's because it is a bolt."

Me ( yet again, this time talking to CJ about PID stuff ) --
"Maybe in the off-season ;-)"
