Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
I have a couple.
First, at a competition last year, a safety advisor said: "don't touch the robot while it's powerized." ever since then we have been making fun of that. Also: One of the pit admin people in a 2013 competition said a team needed a c-R-I-O (she spelled it out) and ever since then we have made fun of that as well. (soon we will be using the r-o-b-o-R-I-O!) |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Our team has previously used a department system, with "Game Mech" being the department designing and building all the pieces used to play the game. As such, this department was put under a lot of work. It became a thing that whenever something came up, the first response was "Game Mech will do it." Even since we have moved on to a different organizational system, we still hear "Game Mech will do it." Every now and then.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
A week before the season begins:
To prove his manly dominance, one team member (won't mention names) is having a push-up contest with the remainder of the Electrical Team. I notice uproarious laughter in another room, so I walk in and ask, "What's going on here?" "We're having a push-up contest." "So... everyone's laughing because you lost miserably, right?" The laughter doubles as the guy frantically says, "No! I haven't started yet!" An electrical team member gives me a high-five. Day two of the build season: "Where's the set of metric Allen wrenches, guys?" "Oh, they're in Narnia." ...it turned out that the person who asked the question actually had a bin of parts called "Narnia" in FLL, though of course that was years ago. The conversation ended with: ..."But Narnia doesn't really exist, right?" "Of course it exists! It just exists in your imagination." Such beautiful words... *wipes away a tear* Day three of the build season: "Hello, sir! What's your name?" "My name is Gabe." "How's your hat?" "Hat's fine. It's rather angry, as always." (It might make a little more sense if you saw it. Here's a video link.) I think I'm going to be posting here a lot. |

Does the router need a hard reset?
(goes and grabs a large hammer that says hard reset on the side of it) Mechanical team member who knows nothing about electronics: We redid some of your wiring. Electronics: What did you change? Mechanical: we switched the output numbers for the motor controllers because the mecanum wheel programming guide said to put them in a different order Electrical: I use a certain order to make troubleshooting easier, put it back to how it was by Monday and fix it in the programming or have fun trying to scrape the epoxy off the electronics connectors. (it was fixed right away) Every time we clean, we can't find anything anymore! |

"Don't get concussed, drink water"
A member of our team last year at the World's Championship last year forgot to hydrate himself. So, as he was walking through booths he fainted and hit his head on concrete floor near a medical booth. Next, thing we noticed, he was rushed to the hospital blabbering about each team member. The only reason he got a concussion was because he refused to drink water. Now our teacher mentor forces us to down a bottle of water before every competition. Good Job Nabil! |
Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Speculating about how bad it would be to be throwing bins around the field... :)
Mentor: "And there is Team 900.. the Zebracorns... what a surprise. Throwing yet ANOTHER bin across the field. Whoops! There goes another robot. Team 900 must be at a new record now... that is 17 robots broken in 4 matches. These robots may want to consider just covering the entire robot in bumper. At least they may survive the match. Hey! Stands! DUCK!! Team 900 Death Machine just chucked a bin to the top row of bleachers!" Our entire mechanical team was doubled over in laughter by the end. :) And then... Student 1: "We should just throw the bins into the other side of the field to knock over their stacks of totes." Me: "I think that's illegal" Student 1: "Illegal. But fun." And my favorite: "Guys... it is only week 1. You can't already be going crazy." |

Rookie year: "So this is the connector for our camera right?" - team president while holding a 5v camera with 12v wire attached to it, proceeds to connect them and tests it, -PZZT- "...maybe not" we were at our 2nd district event last year, and we happened to be the #8 slot for elim matches, and we were slightly unprepared: "um, we want..." "uh, team 4- no, oh shi-" everyone gets wide eyed and starts laughing |

Background info:
The high school has FRC, middle school had FLL. We were helping the middle schoolers build this platform, but because it was early, the only people avalible to build it were the programmers. Oh dear. Anyway, it wasn't done on time (and their robot got broken twice) and everyone was really stressed. I was drilling, the guy next to me was tapping something. Middle school mentor comes in, him and the high school mentor started cursing each other out. (They are also both football coaches.) The guy next to my looks at me.

Can we please stop playing the pronoun game in this tread? If I tell y'all that Connor on team 3082 said "don't touch that, you'll break it."
