Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004

On the door to the shop, there's a sign that says "Swimming Pool Closed."

When you're exiting the shop, taped to the wall is a piece of paper that says "If your underwear doesn't smell like cutting oil, get back to work!"

And then there are the various posters on the walls w/pics of little kids with things like: "I sit when I eat," or "I brush my teeth."

A couple weeks before build, when we were prepping, one of our members went into the shop wearing his bike helmet, and I pointed out the poster in the shop that showed a kid wearing a helmet (for safety), and one of us said something to the effect of: "I like how YZ is doing what the poster says..." ::shrugs:: Hey, he was being safer than the rest of us, since we weren't wearing helmets.

Another time, we were looking through the posters, and read out loud: "I brush my teeth." One of the seniors then exclaimed, "Oh crap! I forgot to brush my teeth this morning!"

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004

I'm very surprised that my team hasn't posted here...yet. (Yes...I doubled checked...just to be sure.)

We're at the NJ Regionals...sitting in the stands...listening to the awards being given out when they finally get to the Judges Award. I can not remember the exact speech but the woman giving out the award is holding a paper and she is reading. Our team, known for its bright neon green jerseys, is being announced as the winners. The paper says "Different shades of Green" but what came out of her mouth wasn't exactly the right s word. "Wearing different *beep* of green..." as the crowd starts rolling and my adult mentor happily starts clapping his hands together and singing out her mistake. The poor woman turned many shades of red.

Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004

"There he is, running"

Doesn't make much sense as a one liner, but here's "The rest of the story"

At Great Lakes Regional, we had all piled into the bus to go to lunch. We have absolutely no organized method of attendance, so someone asked if anyone saw anyone missing, and we all said no. As we we're pulling out of the Parking lot someone asked "Hey, Where's Ross" and then someone in the back of the bus turned around and yelled "There he is running." We had almost left him. It was highly amusing, but maybe you had to be there.

Oh and another one, at Midwest Regional the Sixth Seed (sorry don't remember number) aked the seventh seed to ally with them and the seventh seed was obviously not sure what he should do so he took the mike and said "um, I don't think so" and started to walk back when he grabbed the mike again and said "graciously."

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

hmmm...well our quote of the year from the engineers was "It's custom"...this was during the fourth weekend while we were working...there was a lot of hammers being used - how else are you supposed to align bushings?

unfortunitly its hard to make replacement parts when our robot is custom

*sighs* Scuba Steve...had you bothered to read the page before posting you would have seen I had already posted that quote. And I think it was suppose to be "who aren't afraid to wear bright SHADES of green." though I may be wrong.

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."

My future rookie team is holding a competition this summer for FIRST veterans, current and future rookies, and undergraduate college students, and we've been trying to think of names, and one of my friends said how about

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.
