Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Programming or Wiring Representative: "How much longer till we get the robot?"
Me: "20 minutes"


---------3 hours later-------

Programming guy: " So when will it be done"
Me: "Shouldn't take more than 20 more minutes"


This was all too common as we hit problems this season.

Some others were:

Programming Mentor: "Our robot won't be able to do anything if you hardware guys don't give us the robot now!"

Me: "You can't seriously expect the robot two weeks into the build season!"

And yet he was serious...

Same Programming mentor: "If we don't have the larger wheels by tomorrow, we won't be able to program it to drive."

Under my breath: "Even if you had the wheels today you couldn't program it to turn on..."

If you can't tell, there is much tension between "Us hardware guys" and "Those weird software guys"
