Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
9:27 PM - Bot190 {166}: its basically down to tuning the PID loops
9:27 PM - Bot190 {166}: which is a major problem 9:27 PM - [8Db] Demosthenes {166}: ouch 9:27 PM - [8Db] Demosthenes {166}: good thing I took autonomous 9:27 PM - [8Db] Demosthenes {166}: wait... 9:27 PM - [8Db] Demosthenes {166}: FFF- |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
C: Who puts a lock nut on backwards!?
Over the course of a week-> Me: You realize to make that work, it'll have to flip out, right? R: Yeah. (Two days later there is a triple jointed hinge mechanism) C: Wait, how are we going to mount our electrical board? there's no place for it. Me: We can put it upside down under this main support, the have it flip out on a hinge. C: That sounds like a good idea. Lets do it. C: Hey, this board is resting on the frame. Is that good? Me: No. you should make a support for it. How about one that flips out when you unlatch the board? C: Fine. What should I use? Me: (hands him large gate hinge) Here, take this. C: *Sigh* G: How are we going to keep the battery in the holder? Me: With a hinge, of course! And I'll lock it with another hinge! On second thought, let's make our entire robot out of hinges! The we can just unfold it completely and fix everything! It's Brilliant! *laughs insanely* |

Kyoshirin, it sounds like you entire robot design hinges on one central concept...

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Everytime at the end of meetings the president or one of the metors will say, " you don't have to go home, but ya can't stay here!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
"Stupid Lollipop"
- said while trying to find a place for our camera where it won't be blocked by our claw mechanism*, which is a large circle on a stick. Hence "lollipop". The group working on the lollipop is, of course, refered to (at least by me, anyway) as the lollipop guild. "Excuse me, I want to stick my head in the robot" - me trying to get a cameras-eye view from a potiential camera spot. *our claw mechanism grabs outward, so before it was the lollipop, it was called the Walc. It is actually in the code as the Walc, so it's official. |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
"Look, if the Mythbusters have taught us anything, it's that an explosion is the best possible outcome."
Me: "Umm, guys, it looks like the software needs at least 40 pounds on the robot" Mentors: "WHAT?" Me: "Yeah, look at it! #if, #define, #ifndef, #endif, #s all over the place!" And my current autonomous code: Code:
void Autonomous()
{
// Declare victory
bool victory = true;
}

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
The robot's not wrong, your drawing is wrong. - Said multiple times by the building group to the kid who drew the robot in autocad.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Today I asked one of our rookies to find out how to code springs just to mess with them
![]() I also quizzed one of the rookies on the tools we used. She got bonus points when she referred to the hammer as an "attitude adjuster" ![]() |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
One of our Rookie Students, who has been extremely helpful this year, working on a minibot deployment method
Him: Is there anyway I can tighten this (talking about a piece of 8020 with an end fastener over another piece of 8020 with an end fastener) Me: Yes, provided you can make two pieces of matter occupy the same space simultaneously |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
"Excuse me, I need to go tell our students to try to be a little quieter, I figured a cinder block wall would keep most of their noise out... guess I was wrong." - Me while talking with a potential future employer who I had been trying to reach for 2 weeks.
On the upside, the person was amused by it. Unrelated to that I now have to set up a day to interview with them ![]() TL;DR - when a mentor is on the phone is NOT a good time to play a team game of "whack each other with the pool noodles" in the room next to it. (Use the hall for that) |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Quote:
![]() While staring at an impressive custom circuit on a 4" x 6" PCB that another group built: Student 1: "Wow, there are three 10A fuses, two 555 timers, a block of NAND gates, a quartz crystal, a PIC, some power MOSFETS, a wireless USB interface...what could this possibly do?" Student 2: "Well, it could be a light." (It was actually a motor controller.) |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Programming to Mechanical: "The code has been ready for days, where's the robot?!"
Three days later: Mechanical: "Okay, download the code." Programming: "It's not ready yet." ![]() |
