Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004

Well, we were testing out the program on our robot, when charles, the programmer, headed off to grab a drink and come back. Unbeknownst to us, the processor in the oi blew while he was gone. The robot ceased to move right as he came back, invoking one of the greatest quotes ever, "Lets see, I was gone for 45 seconds. If we can get it to go for another minute and 15 seconds without doing that, I think we'll be good."

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004

"Can't Talk, Can Cheer!"

At UCF I had completely lost my voice by Saturday. However I was still able to cheer loudly if I screamed from the pit of my stomache rather than from my chest and throat. (If you can some how understand what I mean). So anyway, we had a dry erase board that we were keeping in the pits to organize our match times. After QMs we brought it up to the stands. So eventually I drew a little anime styled picture of my self in my team shirt with a speech bubble saying "Can't Talk, Can Cheer!" And that's where it came from. I think a few girls on S.P.A.M. saw it and complimented on it, as well as various other random people.

After the practice day in Annapolis, I asked one of the team, "so what did you learn today?" He answered, "don't listen to the engineers."

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004

I know that it's not exactly an original quote but in the past our team has had some problems cooperating with one another, so now whenever someone gets mad or upset we start singing, "Just keep swimming!" from Finding Nemo.
