Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
Well, I'd have to say that one of my favorite quotes this season would be either:
"Blame Tom!"-Everyone on Team#66 during bulid season. or "Maybe thatwasn't the best idea."-Me watching a qualifying match at GLR. |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
One of our team members recorded a whole bunch of quotes from this season, but the only one that comes to mind right now (besides a couple from our team leader involving her kidneys) was from one of our alumni: "I'm a safe driver! Look! I'll even wear my safety glasses!" Too bad I didn't write down any of the quotes from when a few of us were bouncing off the walls...

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
My team's advisor thinks this is the funniest thing said in our team:
"Why drink Pepsi when you can program and drink Pepsi?" - Me |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
Maybe not as funny as other quotes here, but I think all of us can relate:
Programmers: "It's the mechys fault!!" Mechys: "It's the programmers fault!!" |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
Hmm.... I think I would blame the animators, despite the fact they probably never touched anything.
Finally thought of a good quote... And it was right in my signature the whole time. There happens to be a super-intelligent seventh grader on our team who is also an awesome programmer. One night during pre-season, when we were teaching new programmers, C, this kid answered all the questions right. So finally, we got really annoyed with him and told him that from then on he had to speak in C. It didn't really stop him, so our head programmer said "Joe, from now on, you can only speak in tertiary, binary, or octal" The quote in my signature happened another time for the same reasons...

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
Right before one of our matches, our compressor died. I (the programmer, who was naturally blamed for this as we did not know that it was in fact the compressor going kaput) had finally found 10 minutes to grab some food, had the hot dog in hand, sitting on the RV, about to take that 2nd bite, when I see Hung, our Manipulator guy, running at the RV, waving his arms like mad, yelling.....
"NEAL! THE COMPRESSOR'S NOT WORKING!!!!!!!" at which point I throw down my lunch, pause only half a second to grab my safety goggles (dont leave home without 'em), and flew out of there to go and help debug the problem. (if any of you are wondering, we did not have time to really hook up the new compressor, but had to clip the wires to the old one to drive the new one hooked directly to the tanks before the match, clamped down on the tubing, and inserted it back into the old compressor to keep the 70 psi we had in there from escaping. Even though we have many pneumatics in our robot, it was just barely enough to get our robot up on the platform and hang on the bar......just barely :-P) That was one of several humorous quotes from our travels, and quite possibly the most memorable for myself. |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
"It's doing 'kill felix mode' again!" <- The strange problem we come across when we boot the controller and it runs the first cylce of autnomous mode. Our engineer felix just happens to be ALWAYS standing right in front of it while the robot attempts to take him out. We think the robot's angry at him...

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
FIRST Robotics is a horrible influence. it teaches the drivers that if there is something in your way while driving, bashing into it will make it get out of the way.

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
There is a very simple way to determine fault. If its on fire, its an electrical problem. If its not on fire, its a software problem.
Although we all know that the programmers will get blamed either way... Quote:

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
I can always find someone saying something stupid or funny on our weekend meetings. One Particular Meeting was when I was sitting working on some Chairman's Award stuff. As a mentor came and walked towards where we were working. I look up and so does the Student President. The mentor named Dennis had a weird look on his face. The next thing I know unprovoked he says...
"I know I know Gay Dennis" It was the funniest thing... We always have fun and get alot of odd comments from people its great... Nate |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
One of the funniest quotes at the time of UCF this year was said by Mr. Griffith after one of my team's matches, in which our aliance was tipped and rammed. Every one thought for sure it was a penelty. But the judges said it wasn't. We all respected this call and went back to the pits. When I over hear Mr. Griffith and an Engineer whom I can't recall discussing the match. Well soon I hear Mr. Griffth say: "Well you know, I'm not one to argue with the Empire." I was drinking a Dr. Pepper at the time, and I nearly spit it up I was laughing so hard.
