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

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...

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...

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...

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004

In the Quarterfinal match 2, it is was our goal to keep a team from hanging. After they got up onto the platform, I told Korbin (our driver) to try and use the arm to block theirs from reaching the bar...

It worked, and the audience named it the 'no-tactic' because it looked like a mother slapping a child's hand and saying no

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004

The best thing that someone said this year was from Dean Kamen. We were at a demo thing and he was making a speech and he said something along the lines of, " When you complain, you don't get anything done so just don't complain." Thats not it excatly but thats basically it.

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004

One of the funniest things I heard this season was by one of our mentors kids. For no reason that I can recall, he told one of my team mates that "he smells like dead otter breath".
