"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Ben_R_R]

Gems from the programming team:

A: "Are you planning on including monkeys tonight?"
B: "You don't plan for monkeys, they just happen."

----

B: "Are you claiming you know more than my web browser?!"

----

C: "As we know the only thing that can counteract monkeys are Velociraptors."

[Miriam]

"They've become one!"

[2bkrul]

Me about PSoC....

"Omg its a bubble level....and its a accelerometer....OMG WHEN YOU WAVE IT, IT CAN DISPLAY A MESSAGE!!!"

[demosthenes2k8]

Mentor A: "This printer's annoying. Its verbose mode is enabled by default!"
Mentor B: "So is yours!"

A: "When I was a freshman, you told me you were my daddy.
C (to Mentor B): "Do I look old enough to be a daddy?"
Mentor B: "Umm...WHAT?"

Me at lunch: "I throw my sandwich in the air sometimes, singing a-yo. Where's the mayo?"

[DFZXA]

Me talking to one of the builders, "The mecanum wheels are backwards you have to take every single one off now. You mad bro?"

[Stephen of REX]

The other night the programmers were trying to get the line following code to work. They had the robot up on blocks and were watching how the wheels reacted.

"Stephen why isn't it working?"
"The robot won't go because it is up on blocks, you need to let the wheels touch the ground for it to go anywhere."

(Cool part was they then loaded fresh code, put it on the floor, and it worked!)

Invented last year...
I worked on the animation team with someone who had a very limited sense of humor- I could never get the guy to laugh.
Yet one day, as I was playing in 3ds max, I leaned back in my seat and screamed, "PARTICLE SYSTEMS!"
He laughed for at least half a minute. Mission accomplished.

Our school has a large tiger statue at the entrance to the main building

JB: "Could we melt down the statue for parts? Nah, weighs more than 120..."

[Leeebowitz]

"Barnacle-faced barnacle."
Said by a team member designing the arm.

"Oh yeah, I remember now. They took apart our motor setup to make a raygun." *facepalm*

[Bethie42]

'We hate cables and pulleys: just like we always did....except more now....'
-Mentor, on being asked how the gripper-elevator is coming along

[Radical Pi]

While talking about designs for the Driver Station:

Me: "Well if we run out of I/O pins I could reprogram it to use 2 I/O boards
Person 1: "What would we do with that many inputs?"
Person 2: "Well we could have an array of buttons that make the robot drive to certain places on the field"
Person 3: "And we could use lighted buttons to show where we are!"
Person 1: "And then, we could turn it into a Pac-Man game at the end of the match!"

The brainstorming session just went downhill from there

Some electrical and programming quotes

"is it smoking? Better question is it supposed to smoke? "
"Hmmm why isn't it working the code worked last time...oh yeah we need to turn it on for it to do something..."
"That was supposed to be forward...my bad"

[BJC]

"How many babies are you having over this!" - asked to a mentor after showing a completed part (it was pretty awesome). Babies is now a unit of awesomeness..

"Hey no showering in the bot cave!" -after making above part we were covered in plastic dust to the point that it looked like we had stood outside in a snowstorm for 15 minutes. Then someone got the bright idea to use the air hose to clean off. - ohhh that was fun.

Mentor A: Wow, that is Magnatoodlerific!
Student: What's that mean?
*Mentor B walks up*
Montor A: For example, he is a Magnatoodlerific mentor.
Montor B: I don't know what that means.. but I'm going to flex when you say it!

This was said today, and it kind of worried me...
"Good news everyone, I got it out of my eye!"
