Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

I actually think that we need that kind of room for programmers.... Its noisy in our Robotics Lab but ya... it seems they are locked up..... maybe we programmers are supposed to be locked up anyway

Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

Our programmers and our Chairmans people share one room (its a computer lab). Countless wars. I was helping out and grapes were being thrown. >.<

Side note: The programmers call their space "The Bat Cave" and have an elaborate alarm system in which each programmer is assigned an annoying sound to start making on a specific cue

Yes, we are territorial creatures. On our team, we arbitrarily assigned several of the nicer chairs as "programming chairs" and reserve them.

Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

Our shop has a room like that, it's the Coding Cave, or also known as the Programmer's lair. We have an ethernet switch in there (since the school blacklisted my IP and the IP of about 3 others on the team) and a bunch of Craisins. All Coders eat Craisins. The door is pretty soundproof, and we can be seen for hours in that room just programming or soldering stuff.

Being a shop guy, I think I may be able to answer this question. We want to work on the robot where it is at the current time because it's easier for us to walk and get tools that for us to constantly shuffle the robot back and forth. My team has been working on the robot in the darkest corner of our shop (we use flashlights and cell phone screens to see) for about a week because our computers are there and (of course) the programmers are there. Hope this sheds some light on the situation. Not too much though! (Get it? Too much light and you'd need sun glasses. Stretch? I'll crawl back into my corner now)

Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

Hahaa As king of our programmers my home base consists of a room filled with like 4 computer moniters half with forumns up. one with like Last.fm and the other 2 with LabVEIW and some other useless webpage i'm editing. Though when were at meetings were usually just at a big table..close to the food. With like 2-3 laptops. Or we go to our huge network of computers from the CAD class to edit the websites. It's a fun job though the programmers end up being electrical as well soooo it's kindof a dual "position" job.

Well, I sort of understood it before -- there's the robot, let's work on it. But really -- it ended up being a week-long project! I've just got to get into the habit that when the robot is not being driven or programmed, to push it into the far far -- far -- corner for the shop people. <devious laugh>

But the true reason is of course what you said -- "The programmers are there." Who doesn't want to hang out with the programmers?

Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

There must be something wrong with our team's programmers then! We literally work in the metal shop with our driver-station and electronics alongside with lathes and mills running in the background. Design Team and Animation Team works in a computer lab though.

Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

Maybe it's a west Michigan thing. Our programmers also work in our shop and usually keep to themselves.

Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

This thread reminds me just how understaffed our programming team is.

Me and my collaborator work just about anywhere in the single room allocated to the entire robotics team.

The comment about programmers being easily distractable is spot on. I can't tell you how many times I've found myself loitering around the fabrication area.
