Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

While taking team pictures a friends of mine begins to explain how everyone should actually be standing.

"Dude, I really don't want to hear the logic behind this." Me
"Well...I'm going to tell you anyway." lol Abhi

...I guess programmers are always thinking in logic

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

We were test driving the robot for the first time in close corridors
Me: "Chris, WHY DO YOU HAVE AN AXE!??!?!?!"

The robot began running into lots of things
Me: "Harrison, maybe we should try to NOT kill Regan's (our mentor) shop. That would be good.
Lawry: "DON'T HURT THE MILL!!! WE STILL NEED THAT!!!!"
Karen: "BUMPERS!!! LETS PUT THE BUMPERS ON!!!!"

as we leave the shop:
Me: "Hey Karen! Look at the floor!!!"
Karen: "THe stripper dust is working!!!! We now know where the robot has been, and who's been with it...."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

While working on the Hybrid programming

This is the LAST time we will try this.
Now this is the LAST time we will try this.


While describing the game to either a friend or with someone on the team can't remember

Me: The ball is 40 inches in diameter
Other: How tall is it
Me: The ball is 40 inches in diameter
Other: Yes, but how tall is it
Me: (sigh of disipointment)


Try the hybrid code, push the button. (robot starts moving) STOP (robot stops) I forgot to disconnect the labtop.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

From 1361:

"I didn't do it, I swear!"

"Hey, what's this thing do?...OW!"

"Load harder!"

"My computer is...like...SPED."

"So this one time at robotics competition..."

"With this design, the ball is lifted with this curvy piece here."
"Is that what the toilet seat in the parts box is for?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"Well, i can have this thing done tonight.... if we pull an all nighter, and you go out and get about ten punds of candy and about 6 2-liters of soda..."

I was the last studen't left, and was workin on the drivetrain, the mentors were testing out lift...

Me- "Mentors realy shouldn't work on the robot without students..."
Mentor 1- "Well, your still here"
Mentor 2- "yeah, and besides, we wern't working on it, we were trying to break it!" (They twisted a peice of 1"x1" 80/20)

Me- "I dont think thats going to pass inspection"
Mentor- "Why? the springs are held in place with zip ties"
Me- *rolls eyes* "Well, at least use the KOP industrial size zip ties"
Mentor- "Allright! Even better!"
