Go to Post The robotics, strategics, and technology make up the higher wavelengths, the adrenaline of competition the midband, and the low frequencies that pull at the heart, well that's the people. - John Wanninger [more]

Re: You know you've been in the shop too long this weekend if:

the students from buzz would have to say...
-when you went to grab your bottle of coke...you instead picked up the methyl ethel bad stuff...and almost drank that until you realized coke doesn't smell like pure death
-every parent has stopped by with some form of "food" (baked goods)
-when you fall asleep in the teachers lounge...more than once
-when human player practice turns into an all out game of dodge ball...but you just keep pegging one person
-when you start making up songs that fit the mood like: "there's so much hostility....and our robot has no capabilities"
-when more than one alumni comes back and is not surprised to see that the robot is in shambles
-when onomatopoeias start making sense when you're asking for a certain size drill bit
-when you get so frustrated that you call the Greek kid on the team Poseidon because he's doing something wrong
-you don't see daylight
-weather doesn't matter
-weather doesn't exist
-you spend more time at school...than you do at home
-the janitors know you better than your own parents
-you called a janitor mom or dad
-you have time lapses
-your dog doesn't recognize you anymore
-your own family doesn't recognize you anymore
-there's no such thing as a curfew
-you don't realize you have about a foot's worth of PVC shaving on your shoulder for about an hour after you've done it...and it's more than one person...and they're all staring at each other
-you're sick of pizza
-you can use the lathe without really paying attention to it
-you go through about a dozen or so band saw blades a day...and you think it's not a problem
-stopping the milling machine turns into the worlds best game
-when 8 people at 10:30 in the morning the day before ship have nothing better to do than this...and the robot is nowhere near done...you know you've been in the shop too long


see you all at competition...if we're still alive
