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.
