See, this would only be funny in context. I shall elaborate.

You know when someone asks where something is before looking for it themselves? That has been the entire build season with the stupid center punch. One day, fed up with this needless question, I proclaimed "If I hear 'where's the center punch' one more time I'll [insert threat I can't remember here]"

Needless to say. They found my button, and the question is asked the moment someone needs it.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

I love this so much:

"Some people just don't understand logic until you've written it on a 2 x 2 piece of plywood and hit them over the head with it. Even then there are those few who still don't get it."

Spoken by one of our mentors with whom I was discussing some of the issues with certain teammates.

I don't care if Jesus himself programmed that thing, we're testing that auto mode before we try it on the field.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Last night while working later than our scheduled meeting time, our lead controls mentor's wife comes in:

Wife: "Hey, just wondering when you were coming home"
Mentor: "We're almost finished here"
Wife: "Ok, so another hour or two"
Me: "So you do speak robot time"


right after she left, another programming mentor chimed in with this one:

"Mr. M has a watchdog, and it just timed out"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

During testing and the first fire up of the old robots

" what the hell? Why is it spinning"
" oh great now parts are flying off"
" can we play bumper cars with the bots?"
"OOOHHHHH ITS ANGRY!" As the 2014 robot body slams a student against a wall.
"It's not working"
" you forgot to turn it on."
" how much of the LED do you need?" " all of it"
" team 144s robot= epic seizure time" * did anyone see our bot at the Pittsburgh regional? If you did you'd understand
" why didn't you go" " stop asking that same stupid question before I smack you"

Probably been heard before, but...

Programmer: "It's in the code."

Team member: "It's in the code to run into the wall at full speed???"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"MERGE!"

We use GitHub on our programming team, and it gets fun when multiple people need to update the repository. A person will make a pull request and yell "MERGE!" to let the other students know that changes are coming (or that someone's changes resulted in a merge conflict). Everyone yells it back in response. It sounds like a herd of mooing cattle.

When we took a vote to name our robot, "Merge!" came in second place.

And don't ask what happened to me when I was back at work and overheard a coworker say "merge"...

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

This technically wasn't during build season, but on the bus coming back from our first ever regional one of the freshmen said "Yeah, the judges came and asked me a question and I didn't know the answer. So I looked around and saw someone with a big button and figured, 'Oh, he must be important!' so I told them to ask him." The person with the big button was our safety captain, so that strategy worked...

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Testing a new autonomous,

Me: "Yep, it's programmed fine. We can just line the robot up next to the table and try it out."

*Robot proceeds to run full-speed into the table, trying its best to push it through my rib cage*

"Never mind, it's not fine. The robot isn't happy that we're trying to make it do what we want."
