"Updating a few more things."
This was from our head coach's laptop. He wanted me to update it to Windows 8.1. Long story short, it was way more difficult than it needed to be and I spent a long day waiting for it to tell me to click another thing. After several hours, the loading screens went away and I excitedly ran to the laptop to finish updating, only for that message to pop up. It knew. It took seven hours to update everything, btw. |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Our work space has a single door where everyone enters and a double door by the machines. During drive tryouts last year, we would take our robot from Rebound Rumble through the machine doors, which took about four people, and then a few other people each to carry a folding table and a giant trash bag of foam basketballs. Naturally, this five- to ten-minute parade two or three times a week disrupted the machine shop a bit.
So, one day, our lead mechanical student covered a portion of the double doors with duct tape and wrote over it: "No drive team EVER!!!!!" And, if I remember correctly, a frowny face. We couldn't use the single doors, so we ended up taking random machine students and asking them to open the door for us because we had been asked not to use it. It really just made the problem worse, and the same student just stood watching with her arms crossed, trying to figure out what else she could do to get us out. I am not sure how much this affected it, but the next year, our robot was small enough to fit a little more easily through the single door. |
