"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Veselin Kolev]

Many, many times this quote came up while putting our robot together...

"Just stretch it out, it'll fit fine!"

Like when we were fitting the belt and the pulleys on our collector... they were cut to tense length, so it was hard to mount. No tensioners involved

It's hilarious when you think about it. Our robot was a strange mixture of handcut parts and precision machined and welded parts. There are no machined parts over an elevation of one foot, everything was drilled, sawed, riveted, etc. You know, to fit it all together, it just took some... stretching.

I guess another quote that came up a lot was...

"Just use carb cleaner!"

Yea. When our WD-40 can ran out, we started using carb cleaner. After we used it on out transmission. After we were all kindof woozey from the vapors. Good times.

There are some things that can solve all problems. Duct tape, carb cleaner, zip ties, clamps, 1/8" drill bits. Oh, and hammers.
