Jenny Craig's weight reduction system is in full swing at the chicken coop.

XD

Or, of course, you hear: "What do we need money for? We're done building." "Traveling, shipping, the cart, [blah blah blah], and ham sandwhiches."

OR "Our Robot is going live...9 days before we send it out. Oh shoot." Followed by lots of frenzied, important looking movements and frenzied, important sounding shouted orders <.<

We call our wight loss system the "Dewalt Diet";)

Re: You know it's nearing ship date...
 

I don't want to know how much weight we need to lose <.<

Re: You know it's nearing ship date...
 

We call our's the "How Much More Crap Can We Load On Here" anti-diet.

Re: You know it's nearing ship date...
 

I've heard that running laps might help. Can fat chickens run laps? :D

Re: You know it's nearing ship date...
 

Just as long as there's no purple haze blurring their vision ;)

Optional alternate pun: Looking at the dents and broken pieces in our practice bot, I'd say that running laps is definitely working to reduce its weight :p

Re: You know it's nearing ship date...
 

its just relaxing to know that we are under weight and have to add more....:D

Re: You know it's nearing ship date...
 

Yes, it is. 23 pounds-ish. All you heard from our teacher-dude was "And we can but a steel rod here..." XD

Re: You know it's nearing ship date...
 

You realize that you have 2 weeks worth of work to try to get done in 2 days.

And, oh yeah, by the way, we are 20ish pounds overwieght. Time to break out the Dremel tool & Dewalt drill and ATTACK!!!!!!!!!

Re: You know it's nearing ship date...
 

We'll manage, we're pretty good at that.

Re: You know it's nearing ship date...
 

When you're 96 pounds and for once you're happy to be weightmaster! :)P

PS Whoever's going to The Great Lakes Regional , good luck against 240 :)

Re: You know it's nearing ship date...
 

our drive train team today disassembled their base to reduce weight. They have the robot tonight, I'm curious where they took weight from... I'm pretty sure they went for the "take it apart, reassemble it, and wonder why you have extra parts laying around" approach.

1.) When you don't get in until 6 am because a team themed after Bacon had to go on a "lean" diet. Happy to say WalrusPig is now underweight and feeling very spry.

2.) When you don't want to get off Chief Delphi / YouTube because you can't wait to see who posts the next teaser. ( A white board doesn't count grr.... 217..)

Re: You know it's nearing ship date...
 

When you're glad that everything worked and we don't need massive amounts of coffee to stay up and remove weight from the robot on Monday night :D .
