"Quotes" that were said during build season

[jacob9706]

Mentor: What's the differnce between these two robots?
Student: One works and one doesn't

Student: Is it bad that the robot is randomly rebooting????? (in a really worried voice)
Other Student: I just turned it on......

[dictionaria13]

Student: "Life is like a box of robots... chocolate robots."

Lead Mentor: "Walk AROUND the table! We're here to solve problems, not get stuck in them!"

[Nate Bloom]

"I think the drill ran out of torque."

"If your robot arm doesn't retract after 4 hours, please contact your mechanical engineer."

[Brandon_L]

While listening to this while assembling/riveting

Programmer: "Pop rivets? More like Progressive Rock rivets."

[zzzag]

One of our officers making a calendar for us: "What's a reasonable estimate for us to be done with our robot?"
Me: "After competition."
Mentor: "How about the end of week 4? Can we do that?"
Build Captain: "No. But put it anyway."
Calendar Girl: "Well, when will everything be done?"
Me: "Who knows?"
CG: "When will building be done?"
Build Captain: "When we get our parts and put them together."
CG: "And when will the wiring be done?"
Me: "Once we know where to mount everything - after building is done."
CG: "And when will programming be done?"
Programmer: "It is until build and electric add more. When will the calendar be done?"
CG: "Today." -adds "Finish Calendar" to calendar for that day-

Build Captain: -comparing our Modulox rail to the schematic online- "Why can't we do it like that? That one looks nice."
Me: "Replace 'nice' with 'outside the realm of our abilities'."

Mentor: "First one to finish the robot gets this packet of sugar!"

most recent...

Me: Hey, I need that tiny VEX motor controller. do you know where it is?
Electrical: No idea
Me: ... ... ... Will you play hot or cold with me?

-on the way to compition at 4 in the morning-
Programmer: Hey! how far is it from the key to the basket?
Scout: Why?
Programmer: Autonomus

Mechanical: we just have to use a 2x6.
Programmer: I know what that is! its like a 2x4 but bigger.

[Bix]

Veteran Friend: "Type faster!!!"
Me: *types "Faster" "There we go, I typed faster."
Veteran Friend: -.-

[Kenyow]

Mentor: This was a good day. We wired the robot, drove it like heck, rammed it into a wall and fixed it with a giant wrench.


Mentor: How is that held in place?
CAD Lead: Go to the hardware store and buy a bag of constraints and put the constraints on the robot.

I taped tape onto tape with tape. And it had a purpose.

Over my dead body

"Yeah... it's week 5......." ( <--- Would need an explanation I don't feel like typing.)

[holygrail]

Student: is that red sharpie on your hand?

Me: Hmmm. Let's see. That's a cut, that's a cut, that's a cut...nope. no red sharpie.

[Jordanak]

G:I Just realized something.
J: What is it?
G: Every day of the week has day at the end of it.
J: Wow, That's some conspiracy stuff right there, you should go tell your findings to everyone else.
G: Hey guys...

[Trevor4004]

When working on vision processing in LabVIEW
Me:"Why won't this wire connect!?!?!?!?!?"
Other Programmer:"Oh I see your problem. Your source is a 1-D array containing a cluster of 3 elements and your sink is a 1-D array containing a cluster of 3 elements."
Me: -__-

"I don't know why it works, but it works."

Our programming team's motto: "PWM, Probably Works... Maybe"

[Jordanak]

G: You know better chiiiico
J: Please stop saying that you guys.
N: But chiiiico, you know better.

J: Ahhh, Mr. E, I might have drilled into my hand
later while waiting for ride to hospital
J: Don't i look like the coolest, good thing my girlfriend was there or i would be balling my eyes out.

Mr. E: Did you hear about the fire at the circus.
G:What?
Mr. E: It was intense.
A: I don't get it
G: In TEENTTSS.
A: OHHHH


J: So, can our robot actually be made out of metal this year instead of just spray painting all the wood gold.
