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.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
