"Let me get my programming tongs."

--Mentor of the drive train team when he goes to get massive tongs to crush my head when something goes wrong in the code. It's scary.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

We were trying to come up with a team motto...we had some serious ones, and then out came...

"Team 1923: a bunch of kids, and one really funny big guy"
[you're welcome, Big Mike.]

more to come if/when I ever remember them. darn you, lack of sleep!

Spending the entire weekend in a small office space with a lot of caffeine makes for some funny memories.

Don'tcha love build season?

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"We should rename our team SWEET, it stands for Super Wicked Engineering Experts of Tomorrow."

About 2 minutes later,

"What about Super Nerds of Tomorrow? We could be SNOT!", everyone bursts out laughing and then I replied again with "And our robot name can be Booger!" It was hilarious.

"Why is autonomous so jerky?"
2 minutes later, while driving
"OH! The robot was in high, lets try it in low"
A minute later
"I think my autonomous needs work, the robot just dances "

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

From a guy on our team: "Where are my males?" (as in the electrical connections)

Monday I had my own quote that made a few people laugh: "Oatmeal Cream Pies do not belong in the electrical box"

Oooh, we had a lot of that the last couple of days, but instead of males we I was trying to find female connectors for wiring up our spikes or female PWMs for sensors. I eventually got so frustrated I just kept muttering "I need some females, where are the bloody females?" Many off-color jokes ensued. We had a long discussion the night of ship about "butt splices" as well....
