Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"Hey, that shooter setup looks like it could potentially break the limit switch..."
"Let's test it!" (proceeds to bang shooter arm as hard as possible against the piece of 80/20 which it normally rests on)

"Ok, new plan. We duct-tape the programmers to their chairs until the camera tracking works."

"How's the flyweel shooter working?"
"We've renamed it. It's now the duct-tape and ziptie shooter."
"Why's that?"
"It shoots duct-tape and zipties."

"Robotics is really preparing us for jobs at NASA. Look. We're past deadline, overweight, overbudget, and our [project] doesn't even work!"

"There's a small bug in my password changing script: it won't change the password unless the new password is the same as the old one."

"The harvester almost harvests, the shooter almost shoots, the robot almost drives, and the code almost compiles!"

"Looks like we have to reset our 'number of days without killing a speed controller' counter again. It was up to 4!"

"What smells like smoke?"
"Hey guys, first fire of build season!"
After a few minutes...
"So what happened?"
"A freshman wired four victors backwards and we tried to run a motor in reverse. They shorted and caught on fire."
"Wait, so you killed four victors at once?"
"Yes."
"New high score!"

And my sig.
