Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
"We don't have a steam roller, so get sweaty and roll around on the carpet." (our carpet had been rolled then folded for several months and had some bad wrinkles).
"Call coach Favre* and get a couple of linemen in here" (during continuing efforts to smooth the carpet with two upperclassmen and our rock wall insert that looked remarkably like blocking drill). "You have the balls of a rhino." B, I'll give you an A if you kill M using just this pool noodle. (Followed by discussion of sword swallowing, but with noodles). Why do you want to set fire to the robot? No dilly-dallying, no shilly-shallying. Get home before the tornadoes and hail catch up with you. Stop throwing rivets in each others' faces. And put on your safety glasses! Using a suction cup on your forehead like that is only a hazard if you actually have a brain. Of if your parents see the hickey. I've spent the last ten minutes picking up parts and tools, and it still looks like the toolbox exploded and took out a robot in the process. Make sure the blade is still in backwards. (Instructions to cut polycarbonate with a circular saw). That's not grilled cheese that's a melt! And provolone? You can't make a proper grilled cheese sandwich with anything other than American cheese. And anyway, American cheese isn't good for anything but grilled cheese sandwiches. "What WERE they thinking?" (four bolts sticking out well over 1" below the belly pan/skid plate, when everything else points up, and most of those are rivets). Chill. It's not the end of the world. Not for you, anyway. (Reading punch list) "What are pex ribs on side panels?" "That's what Jackson's doing." "Jackson's putting the pex on... the side panels. Oh." "Did you see the ballast plates?" "Yes."" "Well, they're going to mount right here." "Oh, I thought they mounted over there." (much too small a location) "The iron ballast plates?" "Ye..wait, no, they're aluminum." "Do you know what ballast is?" "I'm guessing No." Shouldn't you drill the hole before you put a bolt through it? * Yes, our football head coach is a Favre. So is one of my immediate co-workers. It's not that uncommon a name in these parts. |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Said 10 years ago as a response to a student who asks "Is this good enough?" after making a piece for the robot;
"Well, you can't see it from my house so as long as YOU think it's OK" They usually give a funny look and then go back to making the piece better. "You can't see it from my house" has become the unofficial team motto. It's still VERY much in use today. |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
One of my teammates was playing with one of the tiny pistons. It was during our leader meeting so as my mentor was mid-sentence he just glanced over and calmly said "Quit jacking the piston" after a pause and continual "jacking" my mentor said "Were you even listening or did you just sit there and jack the piston?". My teammate replied shyly with "both" to which my mentor rapidly responded with an escalated "QUIT JACKING THE PISTON!!!"

"Where did Higgins just go?" "He went outside with a hammer and a bearing." "Oh. Poor bearing."

We're changing the design. Now it looks like a duck." Finally, this was between the same student and I after the I pulled a completely different part I designed off of the 3d printer. "Crap. I made another duck." "You're right! It looks like another duck!" "Yup. I know." "It's about time you did something right!" |

Some more recent ones from our build and drive practices: Our workshop is a "portable building", raised a couple of feet with a boardwalk shared by five portables. Outside the workshop yesterday, two team members were talking, and I overheard: He: If I start doing that, it's because of you. Me, thinking: Hey, that sounds like a pretty good song title. She: (spoken too low for me to overhear) He: I didn't mean to touch your armpit. Me, thinking: Now how can we work that lyric in? (OBTW, they were about eight feet apart at the time, so I assume the armpit touching was something that happened somewhere/somewhen else.) Why can't we put the holy pin back in? (Me, referring to a safety device on our launcher.) Everyone who's not too busy, bring defenses and batter bits to the trailer! What are we waiting on? Er, um, er, WHAT ARE WE WAITING ON?

Coach: No, but seriously. What's your name? Guy: *ponders again* Robin. Coach then proceeds to frantically ask everyone what his name is as he keeps telling us it's Robin, but no one can remember.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
A bit of context:
At the southwest district competition, we had to borrow another joystick because a robot ran into the wall during the autonomous period of a match and knocked our driver's station off, rendering our right joystick completely useless. (Sadly we didn't find that out until after the match, and it was our last match of the day.) So we went to the lowest ranked team and asked them if we could borrow theirs. After they gave us one, I had to run it back to them because the USB was bent. When I returned it, asking for the other one, the response was: "Oh yeah, that's the one that Chase stepped on." Thanks again to team 617 for loaning us your joystick, even though we didn't end up using it. We appreciate the show of GP. |

Does that mean they might NOT be disabled?" G2: "Well, since I can see their Anderson Connector about five feet behind the robot, and wires only on one side it doesn't much matter what the refs decide; it's disabled." (overheard on sidelines) "YOW! Even a robot's gonna feel that!" ************************************************** * In/around the pits: "Mikey, here's a clip that should fix the riveter you broke." "I didn't break it; I found it like that." "You found our hand-riveter with a quarter-inch rivet jammed inside?" "Sort of.." "The chain's pitch is ... five and a quarter inches. What ANSI size is that?" (Our pit display features such a chain.) Here's one in three parts, first and third both quote-worthy. T.S.:"The numbers won't stick on the bumpers, even with heat. We need something else to help hold them on." G2: "I just happen have an unused roll of clear gorilla tape in my car." T.S.: (does double take, eyes open wide) "Gorilla tape is insane. Clear gorilla tape..that's double insane. Can we use it?" T.S.: (An hour or so later) "Do you have any more clear gorilla tape?" G2: "No, but there's a hardware store a mile down the road where I can probably get some." (In store) G2: "I'm looking for tape. Clear gorilla tape." (clerk, leads me a couple dozen feet down) "Here it is, the entire gorilla collection." (You can't make this stuff up.) ************************************************** ** Background: Starting about 1 Jan, I did not trim my beard, hoping to get it long enough to braid. I didn't get it that long, but it's considerably bushier than in my WAI. I sprayed it green again for Bayou. M.E. (student): Mr. Gus, how did you get your beard like that? G2: "I just don't shave it." ************************************************** ** There were several more good ones at the mentors' decompress at the Mexican restaurant across the street from Slidell High, but I can only think of one I can post where the students might see it.

It's not that there isn't anything that seems right, it's that there's so much I want to do next, and I can't decide."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
After catching a pair of fingernails in a belt sander -
"Bishop (team mentor), I think I sanded off my fingertips." "Well, what'd you do that for?" -- "Maybe you could catch a ride to the convention center with Bishop." "No. BISHOP RIDES ALONE." -- "Of course it doesn't work. That'd be too easy." - lots of times -- "It's not a Sawzall, remember. It's a Sawzmost." |

"It has bumpers for a reason! I didn't build 16 of them for nothing!" said by me, the driver, after repeatedly running our robot into various objects and people. We were having a few issues with the joysticks so it was virtually impossible for the robot to drive straight and maneuver easily.

While attaching leads to a battery:
Electronics person: I think this bolt is too long, but I can't unscrew it. Mechanics person: Why does that matter? We can just Dremel it. We can't turn on the robot after a few minutes of trying: Aaron: Well, the battery's charged...Hey! Electronics! Come figure out why our robot won't turn on! Bronte: (looks at it for a moment, then holds up the wire connecting the PDP to the main breaker, which has pulled loose) Aaron: That explains a lot. |
