Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

this happened today...i'm the new programmer, and i'm trying to do everything we didn't do during the actual season like using the camera and auto mode. because of our robot design, we couldn't use the pan-tilt-thing-a-ma-bob for the camera, so we mounted it under our claw (see sig pic). today while programming the tracking code, i said "we should just hook up the servo values to the PWM's controlling the main drive motors....our real programmer says "that'd be fun".....ya...it was funny at the time....knowing my programming history, i can just see the robot going out of control and crazy

J: "Tyler is soldering again, get the extinguisher."

Last year while taking orders for Pizza everyone was asking for Hawaiian as a topping and the mentor taking it down was conviced it wasn't a topping. After asking everyone in the office area of the shop what they wanted and getting frustrated at the answers he went over to the other side. A few seconds later we hear him shout, " Hawaiian is not a topping! " from about 30ft away. Of course, when going to pick it up we found out it was there all along....

who is jon dudas (i read the wiki article) whats the joke

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Long story, but here is the short and to the point version.

It was the last day during the championships, and we had seen Jon Dudas's commercial on the big screen so much his name, particularly his last, stuck with us. Dave, our driver, had already come up with a new word and had the ability to make pretty much any word funny. We picked Dudas as our new word to play around with. There where 3 of us that joked around with forming a religion based solely on Jon Dudas, called Dudianity, and it is still in the works. Otherwise, all of 1983's pit crew and drive team have that as an inside joke between the 8 of us ever sense.

From an outside point of view it is kinda lame, but within our little drive/pit circle its quite funny. So the posts here about Jon Dudas from anyone on1983 is for our teams personal amusement, and it is not expected that others will get it, simply because they were not there when the whole joke got started.

"I forgot a semi-colon, didn't I?"

Said by me after 5 failed attempts to compile.
Followed by the painstaking work of finding the line with a missing semi-colon.

This isn't a Quote, but When I see that there has been new replys on this Thread I always shake my head and wonder "what are Richards and Hoag saying now?"
