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.

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
My favorite quote was at the NJ J&J Regional when the judge who was presenting the Judges award to my team said "who aren't afraid to wear bright green ****" but wat she really meant to say was "who aren't afraid to wear bright green shirts. When she said that my whole team couldnt stop laughing and all the other teams were laughing too. lol

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
Quote:
It's ok though, I still love you! Oh yes..I had forgotten. A kid on my team, Alan Threefoot, is one of the few people on my team who speaks French and since I take french is school...I will occasionally talk to him in french. I think it was last year that I started to tell Alan I loved him because he always got this weird serious look on his face, raised one eyebrow, and shook his head. Once I learned he could speak French I began to yell...randomly..."Je t'aime, Alan!" which is I love you, Alan. It's one of my favorite quotes. Erin Z. is an amusing person when it comes to things she'll do/say on camera. I think most of my favorite qoutes come from her...here are a few.. "I love pneumatics. Pneumatics is my life. I want to spend all my time on pneumatics" "Once they got the Dr. Pepper rolling, the brain started working..." "My window overlooks the bird feeder so I was looking out my window one morning and I was like...Ooo look, a bird....and then it was like...ooo look, my cat. And it was like umph *Erin makes a motion of shoving food into her mouth* and then...nooo! The poor birdie." |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
alright, this isn't really a quote, but it's a funny story nonetheless...
Myself and another girl from our team (for this purpose she will be referred to as Kendra. She's the other girl in my pic.) were sitting in our hotel in Wednesday before the CO Regional trying to keep up with the SoCal regional. We were on the phone with two people from 980. I was talking to Justin, who was trying to get everything packed, and Kendra was talking to Andy who was driving home. Justin was trying to find a soldering iron, and had been for at least ten minutes. Eventually I asked Kendra to ask Andy where it was and after much correspondence it was found. We were told to stay on the line just in case they couldn't find anything else. Quote from the finals in Colorado (after we lost radio connection with our robot): "What's wrong with the robot?" "Oh. It has cancer." |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
The one thing that sticks out in my mind:
"Well, if Dean doesnt agree with this, I'll just start my own robotics competition and call it SECOND" -Our field coach, when we were debating robot setup rules. |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
Quote:
SECOND: Science and Engineering Continuing Onto New Directions (after some deliberation of course) but we didn't think that the O sounded right, and the only other O words that we could think of (Orange, Orangatang, Onomatopiea, Oprah, Oscar, Oval, Ogre, you get the idea) didn't seem to fit either, so we're back to square one. |

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
So this one is from Buckeye, our drive team has waaaaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands:
"You know you are a robotics geek when you throw a water balloon out the 10th floor window and then calculate its velocity just as it hits the ground (which happens to be about 55 mph)." |

They were adding lightening holes or something about being over weight so of course my mentors like "hey we got a sawsall if you need one"...he just likes cutting things up - his favorite tool is the grinder
