Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
Just today, a fellow programmer and I were writing code on his dad's Gentoo box. I felt the urge to update the copy of nano on that computer. My friend, who is an Emacs snob, looked at me, chuckled, and said "Bleeding-edge nano, eh?"
Well, I thought it was funny... |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
After SPBLI ended while we were waiting to load onto the bus:
Robot Mommy: "You know, every time I look at you, you're talking to a different boy. This is not the place to be picking up boys." Me: "Hey! This is not only a place to be inspired to go into science and engineering, it's also about expanding ties with other teams and schools! I'm expanding my ties!" Robot Mommy: *silence* That is the most creative excuse I have ever heard for picking up boys. ![]() After a team member was "interviewing" teams (mostly girls) he was accused of "macking it," which sooned turned into having something that sounds like a venereal disease. "Do you have mackinsons? And of course... IMAX!!! |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
Today, walking into our meeting:
Nick: "It's not our fault we're late. We hit a dog on our way over and got a flat tire. Here's the pieces" ::holds up plastic bag:: Me: "Ewww, you brought pieces of the dog?" Nick: "No, these are pieces of my car!" Ok, so it wasn't quite so funny as the fact that there were 3 animators stuck who didn't know how to change a flat tire and called the meeting. Yay for the HOT pit crew! ![]() |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
I'm a big fan of the MC's line at Opening Ceremonies at the Colorado Regional last weekend:
"I feel HIGH right now...mile HIGH" *Note that his face was red and he was slurring a few too many words at this time. *Also note that he works for NASA |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
Quote:
Someone called me up and said the team needed some comedic relief since we lost our medals . Seriously, it's not my fault that I was the only one there who'd ever seen a tire get changed, much less change one. We were actually doing good, once we figured out that in order to get the jack out of the trunk we had to take off the bolt holding it in. It also didn't help that I had to convince Alex and Eric that the jack didn't go under the axel. That was just a bad day for my car. Still, it was pretty funny when everbody thought I was carrying the remnents of a dead dog. (In case you're wondering, the dog is fine). Moving on . . . Another funny quote from this year would have to be at the Detroit regional. A few people from team 67 (including me) were helping team 406 prepare for alliance selections. As we were compiling a list, Mr. Nader said "Ok, we'be got the multiplier ball handlers, now all we need are some good hookers." (reffering to hanging bots) |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
After six hours at the laithe, I went over to the mill where one of the advisors was cutting away at something. It was pretty late at night and it was me, another student or two who were in the programming room, and a few mentors.
Me: "Maybe it's just my eyes, but I'm not sure I'm reading that right." (the piece of metal in the mill) Mentor: "*exasperated sigh* It's says slot" Me: "Oh s***" |
