Re: Famous Last Words
Sitting here in Avalon, looking at the pouring rain
Summertime has come and gone and everybody's home again Closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs I can still taste the wedding cake and it's sweet after all these years These are the last words I have to say That's why this took so long to write There will be other words some other day But that's the story of my life There's comfot in my coffee cup and apples in the early fall They're pulling all the moorings up and gathering at the Legion Hall They swept away all the streamers after the Labor Day parade Nothing left for a dream now, only one final serenade And these are the last words I have to say Before another age goes by With all those other songs I'll have to play But that's the story of my life And it's so clear standing here where I am Ain't that what justice is for? Frankly, my dear, I don't give a $@#$@#$@#$@# anymore Stack the chairs on the table tops Hang the sheets on the chandeliers It slows down but it never stops Ain't it sweet after all these years And these are the last words I have to say It's always hard to say goodbye But now it's time to put this book away Ain't that the story of my life |

Re: Famous Last Words
"yeah, it[the robot]'s off."
"OF COURSE i tested the autonomous!" [note: NJ regional practice rounds....we took the middle position and slammed another team's robot straight into the corner goal during autonomous, disabling their robot, delaying the schedule while field crew had to remount the sensor.] |
Re: Famous Last Words
"It wasn't me." (after I had plugged in an IR sensor wrong back in 2004, and officially burnt it out).
edit: oops, that one is taken, I'll have to try another one "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" and I go insane. (after last year, our robot almost capped center in autonomous) under breath: **** (after any bad news that may take a long while to fix to good. Pick any four letter word at random) |

Re: Famous Last Words
Me as a freshman - "Oh, I forgot to zero out those PWM outputs. Let me do that real quick" followed by "Okay, reset it" followed by ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzz and a bunch of screams--the first time my program ever bruised anyone...
"Heads up" - our captain (when I was on 1140) was shaking the tether cable, which was faulty because it got caught in a chain. We got power to the OI but no signal. After shaking it for a few seconds, we got signal, and our joysticks were so far out of calibration that the arm came to life and our claw swiped a scratch right across the back of the safety judge's hand. "There goes our safety award" "Let's see if this works" "It should work" Our team leader "What will this autonomous do?" followed by me "Umm....I think....no wait....ummm...let's see" "This auton will be sweet" ten seconds before the bot flies at 12ft/sec into the opposite end of the field, literally throwing the main battery out onto the field. It was supposed to shift down. "Yeah, I charged up the pneumatics!" JBot |

and my favorite:
"Matt you've gotta push that thing out of the way!" "$@#$@#$@#$@# THE TORPEDO'S, FULL SPEED AHEAD!" 15 seconds later - "Michelle why isnt the camera working?" "Because the camera is busy tracking something.." "What is it tracking Michelle...?" "The robot that just ran it over..." I stare at Michelle then turn back to the match. "Hey that was my camera.. RAMMING SPEED!" too much fun. |
Re: Famous Last Words
of course I fixed the code! It'll work now!

Re: Famous Last Words
(This happened while queued for a practice match at Palmetto this year)
1293's programmer: "Quick, connect this up to the program port!" (He tosses a program cable from the laptop over the arena floor's wall) Me: "What's this?" Programmer: "It's the camera code so we can shoot." Me: "We're about to go out for a match!" Programmer: "Just connect it up!" (We connect the cable and download the new program, then angle the robot so the camera's not pointing directly at the center goal just to be sure it's doing what it's supposed to do. As the match begins, the drive team watches with horror as Chomp speeds off full tilt in a straight line, ramming 1618's robot that happened to be there. The damage was minimal to both robots, thankfully. We ran the second match with the robot pointed at the field barrier behind us for autonomous.) |
Re: Famous Last Words
