Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

During an AIM Conversation...:

TheBornOtaku: If the robot ever breaks, we'll fix it.... WITH COPIUS AMOUNTS OF MACARONI AND CHEESE!

-----------------------

Me: Who would you rather have do your milling? A CNC Machine, or a badass dude in a black trenchcoat?
Brian: A CNC Machine.
Me: Oh, gee, thanks.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

*while piecing together a prototype of what has come to be known as the "tuber scooper"*
Me: No Thomas! [He's a freshman] You have to hold this piece up tight against the crossbar so it doesn't slip.
Thomas: What? I thought it was just a prototype, it doesn't really matter.
Me: No, Thomas. We have to be very, very precise when working, even with prototypes. That's why we're using this duct tape instead of bolts.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

To me: "Oh yeah, Devin (main programmer) wants you to try and program the camera"

Me: "Doesn't anyone else here know how to do it?!?"

"Nope."

"Oh well, guess I can try my hand at it"

[later]

Me: "Oops, hope Devin doesn't kill me when he finds out I screwed up the code."

"Just tell him it was all Nick's fault!"


I got it calibrated so the servos are zeroed, but still can't figure out how to make the stinkin thing follow the light.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Our main programmer, Devin, couldn't make practice the other day.

"Hey, David. Devin wants you to try and program the camera"

Me: "Um, I don't know how to do it. Anyone else here want to try?"
.....
"Alright, I'll try my hand at it"

[later]

"Uh-oh, I forgot to make a back-up file! Devin's gonna kill me when he finds out what I did!"

"Don't worry. Just blame it on Nick!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Keep in mind these mentors are...lets say older than 30:

"So, how are you doing on the chassis?"
"We pimped it good!"
(everyone cracks up)

Later that night; remember that I'm the only programmer with enough experience to do anything on our team.

"So, is everyone happy with their subteam assignments?" - Rory
(5 seconds later, when everyone is silent)
I slam my fists as hard as I can on the table and yell "I DON'T WANNA PROGRAM" as a joke.
Everyone cracked up because the possibility I would get out of this now is zero.
(Rory, clicking his Gerber multi-tool out) "Which tooth should we pull first? How much do you value your fingernails?"
Another team member "How about water torture?"


Denny, repeatedly to me "So, are we hanging in autonomous with the camera yet?" even though we don't even have a robot with manipulator built yet.

Me: Those are not good noises...
Devynn: And neither are those faces...


Phil: Why didn't you wire the lights together and run them off of one battery?
James: Because everyone was telling me not to!
Phil: ...And you listened to them why?
James: It was 10 against 1.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

My teammate and I were sitting inside the rack waiting for some washers and nuts, and we had this short conversation:

Her: "Hmm, y'know, this would make a nice bed."
Me: "They make octagonal sheets?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

We were joking about trying to put a keeper on the other team's side, just to freak them out.

Warren: i think you should be able to get to the goal on your side faster than the other team's
Me: of course, but that's why we have a wormhole machine
