"Quotes" that were said during build season
 

I'm wondering what some of the more interesting "quotes" or phrases said this year. It doesn't matter who said them, a student, a teacher, or a mentor. One of mine this year was "Ball chunk colorer person". That was said when someone asked why i was coloring a ball with a sharpie.

"I just have to tune the PID loop!"

"It's still downloading!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Don't worry about the code -- I know I've fixed it this time for sure!"

"PID is easy. I wrote it last night."

"We're too close for missiles, switching to Poof balls!"

"Just one more day on the driving code, then I'll switch to autonomous."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Hey...uh guys? Where's our bot?"

lol my friend Maggie said that when she came into our meeting late from drama practice on ship date...she had completley forgotten what day it was and we just had to go along with it so we were like..."What do you mean where's our bot?! I though you were here when the shipping guys came to get it!"

She's so gullible...gotta love her! lol

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Me: Woahhh Carl waht are you doing don't pull on that
Carl (mentor): I know what im doing. Id rather it break here then Annapolis
Me: How bout we just don't break it at all, theres a thought for ya..


Needless to say he wasn't too happy with that remark

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Guns have motors?-Me

"We will worry about that later"

"umm... oops"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

From the head of our mechanical team to some programmers concerned about sensing the turret's position with a shaft encoder:

"You worry about the programming and I'll give you the shaft."

Luckily they didn't take it the wrong way...

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"I guarantee it!"
Everytime this certain someone on the team says this, the guarantee is broken. We even named this type of guarantee after the person's name.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Hosh, you forgot the coveted, "Let's Ship It!".

I believe Troy was the first one to start saying it around the 3rd build week. We got the drivetrain running just in time for Mr. Yasick to see it before he left for surgery, and all Troy could do was say "Ship it", lol.

After that, everytime we got a major component done on the robot, there was that quote. I think everybody on the team used it.

It was a good day when I no-longer had to hear the phrase "Ship It" on monday night, when we finally shiped the robot, :)

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

One of the best quotes I heard came about 3:00 AM Saturday morning before the UTC Scrimmage
"Lets reinforce the Duct tape with duct tape"

And another from the same team member

J: "Why did you make it like that?"

D: "I made it to the dimensions you gave me"

J: "Why would you listen to me?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Me to the students: "It wasn't a mistake...it was an engineering miscalculation."

One student at the open-house: "And due to an 'engineering miscalculation'..." he said as he smirked at me in the audience :rolleyes:

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

*looks at cmu* "Yep...that goes in the headache box"
*looks at sensors* "...headache box..."


later in the season...

"Uh oh...gonna have to break open the headache box"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

That started last year i think Mr. Q. Anyhoo, another one is when ever someone said this or that needed to be done. A student named Steve would always volunteer Stuart by saying, "Stuart will do it". The last week was filled with him saying that, ALOT. :D

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Water and electricity don't mix, stop spitting on the robot!" -Dave, an alumni member speaking to one of the younger members...

"It is a guaranteed fact that at least one rookie team will name their robot 'Chuck Norris'."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

We've got a certain member of our team that seems to enjoy magic smoke. Maybe some of it isn't his fault, but we blame him anyway. Now he enjoys the name KFC. Kevin Fried Circuits We actually gave him the nickname last year, but he earned it again this year when I had to rewire 4 potentiometers when we realized that they were the source of the burnt electronics smell at about 1 AM.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Well, it's pinned." -fellow mentor, after breaking off the drill bit in our axle


"That's not yummy." -one of our HS students


M: "We can outpush anything we can't outrun...and we can outrun anything we can't outpush!"
S: "Thank you for defining geared power transmission."


"Kabir standards are in effect." -last week of build season, named for a former mentor quoted as saying, "we have low standards" as he drilled through a sprocket with a wood bit the night before ship date.

Hey !!! Loctite tasts good !!!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"dude ill pay for that"

after one teamate accidentaly threw a poofball into anothers month old nice laptop screen pretty much destroying the screen.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Worst thing to hear the driver (well ok, ANYONE anywhere near the robot) say: My bad.

We heard that one quite a bit this year.


"Don't touch that or I'll poof your head off." (Said to my younger sister immediately after a meeting.)


E: *cuts finger* Ow, where's the first aid kit?
J: *hands E duct tape*


*Random mentor* "If there are any people within five feet of the robot, the driver's hands go IN THE AIR!!*

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

One of our mentors after tasting loctite, "It tastes fine - except for the burning."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Get me some Colgate, our transmission is stiff"

"hm....i'm not sure that hole goes there..."

"Hey! stop putting the tools away! I can't find them when there in the proper places"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

A student: "The audience will be making three sounds this year: oos, aahs, and oh my God, watch out!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

One of our engineers when talking about how fast the wheel could spin:

"Have you ever seen a poof ball go through concrete?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Don't bleed on the robot!"

Said by the adult team leader after a teamate cut his hand.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Where's that blasted saw/drill that cuts stuff back on..... I can never find it"

Junior: "OK, we've been stuck on this problem for an hour or so....... LUNCH BREAK!!..... who wants Carl's Junior?"

"OK, if the mentors don't want to turn off the robot when they stick their hands through the chain then fine. But everyone else make sure to hit the kill switch first, I'd have to fill out way too much paperwork if a student got hurt"
- Supervising teacher after the mentors repeatedly tried tightening bolts on the drive train (treads) without turning off the robot first.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Maybe this is old but my favorite one that someone else posted:
Now for ours:
"Time flies when you are having robots."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"What do you mean the dongle fell out?" -- As the robot careens unstoppably towards our test ramp, it ripped the tether out and died, phew!

"Of course it'll work, I wrote it" -- Before hours of debugging certain pieces of code

"I'm just tuning the PID loop what could-- OH $@#$@#$@#$@#! OWW!" -- Robot shot straight backwards and knocked me over, ended up pinning me down with a wheel gnawing on my leg, out of reach of the dongle, which wouldn't have helped as it was a few inches from the OI, it fell out again.

"What do you mean backup battery?" -- As the radio kept cutting out during testing.

"There's a right way to do this, a wrong way to do this, the fast way to do this, and the way I'm doing this, which is a blend of the three others, now can you get me a bandaid?" -- Scraped up my arm trying to change a fuse in our green light...on the goal...on a rickety ladder, not my idea of fun.

"The code is doing exactly what we told it do, now to trick it in to doing what we need it to do." -- It was doing exactly what we told it to do...

"Mr. Schuler Watch this!..Aww..CRAP!!" -- As my tracking code has a horrendous failure in front of the man who never thought I'd make it work. Go figure. :)

This has been a fun season.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Wait... It wasn't supposed to do that." - A lot of people said this, usually isn't a good thing, lol.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"It's just a mock-up"

"NO! No more prototypes - this is for real" - Lead build mentor's response to above

"I'm OK" - our injury-prone team member, usually immediately preceded by some loud noise

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"People do stupid things." followed by whistling the song the the Vonage commercials.

P: M walk away for a minute.

M: Why?

P: Because I don't want you to seeing what I'm about to do to this part.

A personal favorite: "The holes in the wrong place time to get the liquid metal."

"Don't worry A. can weld it." - Usually true but I can see him cringe sometimes when we say it.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Assume the position" - this is said every time some reaches into the robot during driver practice (although we didn't use it much...)

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"THIS THING ISN'T WORTH THE POWDER TO BLOW IT TO HELL!"

Yeah that was the best one.

"Mike!"
"What?"
"Why are you drilling into the control board?!"
"I'm not...oh. That's what this is for?"

"Yo where's that special metric bolt?"
"Did you check the shop-vac?" (it was in there)

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

We had quite a few, but the best was probably one of our mentors saying,
"Give me that tightener over there" in regards to the wrench. He got a pair of vicegrips instead. That happened a lot in the last days in the wee hours of the night/morning.

The other one was the constant

Was that how it was supposed to end up?
-Of course, we planned it that way. :rolleyes:

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Student 1: Hand me the hammer on the table.
Student 2: There is no hammer on the table.
Student 1: You got to be kidding me, every thing is a hammer except for the screw driver which is a chisel.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

A couple more:

J: I love it when a plan comes together!
P: Sure thing Hannibal. I know you planned it that way.

Hey can some one get me a metric adjustable.

A: Has anyone seen the power shear? :eek:
P: It's in the cabinet where it goes.
A: Why would it be where it goes in the middle of build season? Who actually puts stuff where it goes. :rolleyes:

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

From me to another team member:

It goes the other way, the holes are in the wrong place now...

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Don't force it, just get a bigger hammer"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"It's okay - We are fully adjustable!"

Said far too often anytime something needed changing or moving - due to the fact that our robot frame is constructed of 80/20. It's not as funny anymore now that I've had a chance to sleep a little, but for some reason it sure seemed funny at the time.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

ok lets see... robot quotes

" get'er done" our mentor when we were working on cutting rubber mats for a conveyor belt

"theres the tool for the job, then theres the tool we will use" the entire team when using the omnipotent socket wrench and adjustable wrench

"this will work... oh $#@%$#" after the robot runs into the computer table with autonomous

" aaaaahhhhh!!!! @#$%" after i got run over by the robot when we forgot to calibrate joysticks. i ended up with a shredded shirt

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Where are the strippers?"
"STOP STEALING THE STRIPPERS!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Oh no, someone cleaned up again - now how am I suppose to find anything?

Hey, where is that whirly gig thingy? (deburring tool)

Looks "close enough" to me

Good thing that's adjustable

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Me: Sounds like he put the whole alphabet into his mouth and threw up all over the paper!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Me and Kim in starbucks before an early meeting...

Kim:Ashley look at that mug!
Me: ::turns left::
Kim: No Ashley, on your right
Me: ::Turns more left::
Kim: ASHLEY! YOUR OTHER RIGHT!
Me: ::raises left hand:: BUT THIS IISSS MY RIGHT...... oh..... ::turns right and sees mug::

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Two quotes of note:
" I DON'T LIKE IT,BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY"

" DID YOU BUILD THAT FROM SCRATCH?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"I didnt drill the hole in the wrong place, I was lightening the robot!"
"Ill just ducktape the lathe wrench to my hand so i dont forget to take it out when im done."
"I would have never have thought it would be where its supposed to be"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Me :"Carl thinks that adding extra code will increase the robot's weight. Silly Carl!"
Teammate: "Well it does..."
Me: "Umm what are you talking about, of course it wont"
Teammate: "No, for evey extra bit of code, 9.1e-31 kg is added to the RC"

A long argument ensued, and after 3 hours of his research to prove his argument, my teammate told me that he found online proof that adding additional code will in fact add electrons to the flash memory. I still deny it since he never showed me the article. What do u guys think??

BTW -- its a sad thing when we are worried about adding e-31 kg of weight to our robot..

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Oh and a second one:

Student 1: "We need the robot to do *this*. Do you know what that means?"
Student 2: "More global variables!!!!!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

About making notes:
"I got bored, so I drew a giant robot attacking a city. In the logbook." - Myself.

"Dude! That robot design sketch looks awesome! ... Can we put it in the logbook?" - Christina

About not knowing the names of random items
"Pass me the ratchet... screwdriver... thingie..." - Alex again

When attempting to come up with slogans:
"We use all of the buffalo." - Alex
(The sad part: It stuck.)

When discussing autonomous mode
"So, we go as fast as we can this way, then we ram into that wall and hope our bump sensors work..." - Myself

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

From our lead coder, while trying to get the robot working:
"I know the code works, I wrote it! It must be a hardware problem."

To answer a question above about extra code adding weight: I believe that all of the electrons already exist in the flash memory, but they are just disorganized. Writing to the flash memory just consists of organizing electrons, therefore the weight would not increase.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Whats the worse that could happen? *explosion sound*" (note sound simulated nothing actually explode)
Nick: "I'm not Nick"
"Yea, No, No, Yea, No, Yea, Yea... wait... no..."

When I walk into the house....
Mom: Did you have anything to eat today?
Me: Yeah I had steel, aluminum, some graphite, WD-40, some grease and a bunch of fiberglass.
Mom:That's what you had yesturday...

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

This weight of software was actually a serious discussion among a few of our team members two years ago. I managed to stop the conversation completely when I pointed out that the "erased" state of flash is a logic one, so programming it actually removes bits from memory. :]

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Another one from Tory, coach of team 85. "We need some more flexy doodles". :confused: "Flexy Doodles" are guards that help out robot hopper. :rolleyes: It was so funny when he said that, and now we still call them that.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Me: "And right here is where the whooptie doo will go."

Student: "The what?"

Me: "The whooptie doo."

Student: "What's that?"

Me: "You know, the whooptie part. It goes whooptie right here."

Student: "uh..."

Me: "Ball guides... come on... work with me here! It guides the ball into the shooter."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Grease equals torque"

Continued from last year.

God, everyone on 195 should get that one. :D

"We'll fix that later."

One of our electricians saws a joystick in half to see the wire configuration.
Mentors rush over going "Why did you do that??? You could have used a screwdriver to open it!"
Electrician clutches the two joystick halves defensively and says "It was fun."

"Oh yeah, we'll be pulling an all-nighter tonight..."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Teammate : We kinda have a problem with the shooter
Me: What is it now?
Teammate : The ball only goes high enough to hit dale(BTW, dale is 6'5") in the face. We're two feet off!
Me: Tell dale to shrink

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Well, beginning last year, we had one member that would alway say "Hey guys, let's just quit and try again next year." He said this whenever something went wrong, no matter how little.

And a quote by our programmer which for two years I still cannot figure out...
"In Every Age"
He writes on everything he gets his hands on, and he says that we'll never be able to figure it out. If one of you feel like figuring it out, please go ahead and do so, I've just about given up on it. :confused:

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

By rearranging the letters is says: "a very genie" Apparently your programmer was a genie in his past life, and very much so. It is quite likely he doesn't even realize this.
My suggestion: Take your chances and rub his computer. Maybe if you're lucky you can get one wish out of him.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

During the first Saturday after the game was announced we were testing a prototype of out shooter. Tim, one of our mentors, said after shooting a couple of balls, "We need to increase the squish". A couple of us were like "increase the squish?". Tim replied "Yeah the squish factor needs to be higher". Thus one of our favorite quotes was born.

When working with our shooter wheel:

"Hey look at the camera, its in motion blur! I wonder if it'll still be able to pick up the light?" Said as the robot was shaking violently due to a bent shaft on the shooter wheel.

And then the daughter board with the lens vibrated itself out. Yeah... that was bad.

me: "Oh."
We had some trouble with the placement of the wheels.... had to put more locktite on..... lol-

-"So, which gun are we using?"
reply from other student:"Punch E in the stomach gun."
Since there was an idea for another 'gun' we made a prototype and it ended up punch our Mechanical Lead in the stomach everytime a ball went through. With the last ball through though, he fell over.... poor guy.... lol.-

"Did you turn the robot on?!"
"Oops."-

-mentor:"Lube it up, baby!"
student:"Never knew you went that way."
mentor throws dirty look then smiles evilly/creepily at students.
me:"I hope to gd that you are only looknig at us like that because of lack of sleep."-

-A student sent out an email about how we should name our robot using binary and the name of our team. It was interesting and made some sense but the reply of two people:
Student reply:"I suggest you should invest in a Gameboy in the furture, E."

I'm sure I can think of some more later.... lol
