Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

A conversation within the drive team during a match at championships in which our claw motor burnt out.

*Claw begins smoking and spitting out sparks in copious quantities*

Operator: Hey Tyler, the claw is on fire.
Me (driver): So it is.
Me: Hey (human player), the claw is on fire.
HP: That's cool.

*Human player continues to load totes*

Operator: What is that, five now?
Me: Unfortunately.


This season we also used less than durable joysticks manufactured by Thrustmaster. Two of them, used by the driver, had issues with the hard stop on the twist axis breaking. The first one also damaged the joystick in such a way that it could turn left anymore (making for an interesting right turn only match at Colorado), but the second one kept working in a unique manner.

*Joystick snaps while turning left and over-twists to face directly at me, the driver"
Me: Hey (coach), another joystick broke.
Coach: No it didn't, you're still driving around fine it seems.
Me: Look at it...

*Coach looks to see backwards joystick*

Coach: Oh, we should fix that.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

We were cleaning up the lab and one of my friends is asked to find an allen wrench. He heard the person wrong and went around asking people "what is an owl wrench ?". We then nicknamed him owl wrench.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

It wasn't build season, and it wasn't even robotics, but it seems right for this thread. It was time for the vacation bible school class to go to the next station tonight, and Fr. Harry called out something that sounded to most of the staff like "OK, it's time to go to hearts and craps!". (No, it was not gambling with cards and dice, but "arts and crafts". Harry's an early riser, and our first evening VBS isn't working out so well for him.)

On an only slightly more FRC-related note, I can personally confirm both of the following from experience of the past two days:
  • a pool noodle can be whittled into the shape of a rhinoceros horn if you're interested in making a rhino mascot
  • hot glue can be used as an emergency fix for all five wheels on a prop jeep (four drive wheels plus the steering wheel)

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"So you're telling me, that we got acrylic laser cut and you let the software guy touch it? Why would you do that?"

Said after we got some acrylic laser cut to make our robot look less dodgy and it was snapped in half by one of our software guys within five minutes. The sheet metal and hot glue repair was beautiful though...

"I am sick of your good ideas, sensemaking, and problem solving!" -Mechanical Head sarcasm during build
"I want to go to St. Louis so bad it hurts" -Mechanical Head during our 2nd regional

"Yeah, we'll be running the 3D printer all night in the bathroom so we have those spare parts for tomorrow." -Me during Northern Lights at around 2 a.m.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

On our team, the seniors liked playing jokes on the new members. We were putting felt on the battery holder. One of the seniors said if you lick the felt it would stick better to the metal. It has been a joke ever since.

"Don't lick the felt!"

Student: "When is a good time to email you?"
Me: "... What do you mean?"
Student: "I want to make sure I email you at a convenient time."
Me: "We're not talking about a phone call. Just send the email whenever."
Student: "So you don't care when I send it?"
me: "You don't know how email works, do you?..."
