Re: Famous Last Words
(Great topic for those of us that can't wait for January)
Famous last words from Washington would include ""All these plugs are separate from the IT stuff so we can't mess them up" "Cut this wire" (moments later the IT Dept's servers are all down because we blew a breaker) "It will look better painted" (Never depend on friction to keep chains tensioned) |

"Uhh why isnt it moving.....Did anyone turn it on?"

Re: Famous Last Words
"We need you to code for a panning, tilting gun with an attatched camera module, which can fire while moving." -Device Team, day 8
"Done." -Programmers, week 3 "Forget the tilting part. Just change the gun speed ot adjust for distance" -Device team, week 3 1/2 "Forget the panning part. Just turn the robot." -Device team, week 4 1/2 "Umm... We cant' give you a sensor for gun speed." -Device Team, night before ship "We accidentally drill pressed though the last drive train encoders" -Drive team, at regionals Controls team just about killed a few people last year... Our solution was to give some controls people machine shop training and put them on device teams next year. We still have 5 programmers, and hopefully this year the robot will live up to the code. And of course, at regionals, "We're going to have to rebuild the drive train." We heard that at nationals too... if only we had gotten it right the second time... |
Re: Famous Last Words
me: "you did remember to wrap electrical tape around the battery posts, right?"
ben: "uh..... no...." me, with electrical tape in hand, running: "ho-ly-crap...." robot: "ZAP SPARK ARC ARC CRACKLE..." me, right hand burned, laying on the floor: "grrr always, always insulate metal used to hold batteries down... and wear mechanic's gloves." yes, its true, the robot was just like a ford pinto, you rear end it and all heck breaks loose :rolleyes: well i learned some lessons that day, 1, never let a new guy on their own when they're just screwing something together, 2, always wear gloves if you even remotely think you should, 3, sparks are really hot and burn/hurt like heck, and 4, you can cut aluminum with a 12 volt battery :ahh: -Q |

Re: Famous Last Words
"Hey Gary, get that soundboard for me. Be careful of the... loose outlet mount"
While I'm sitting on the floor with no feeling in my arm. Luckily, they put electric tape around it, but one layer of electrical tape doesn't do a whole lot when it's the only insulator on a live outlet. Another playing with electricity: "You jumped 10 tiles. xxx volts? [checks cell]. Yep, get that one every time." "You want to unplug the sound rack? Just be careful. We put brass outlet plates on a non-grounded circuit." |

Re: Famous Last Words
"Oh ****! We just ran over our alliance partner!"
"Relax... it's Dulaney." (his was last year at Chesapeake. Their autonomous code was awesome. Ours was not. They didn't exactly cancel each other out. As an upside, for some reason most of our team (excluding me) has some irrational dislike for those guys. However, a couple of my best friends from elementary school are on their team and... they weren't too pleased.) |
Re: Famous Last Words
