You aren't the first, I'm sure. (I've never tried...) There was an attempt to add it to the CD spell checker some time ago. Need I say more?

Yes, that's right. At the Colorado regional, all three of the teams on the winning alliance (1625, 1592, and 1296) were bright blazing orange. It was epic.

The same thing happened at GLR, except the alliance (291, 573, and 862) didn't win. My friend and I knew from the moment that the second orange team was picked by CIA (I think that it was 862, but I can't remember) that it was going to be very orange-ish...

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAANK"

Some new word someone on our team came up with, and now everyone says it.

I don't know what it means

[HOT_SOUP]

"THIS IS A NO-NINJA ZONE!!!"

"Actually, I read the rules, and you can't do that"

"HEHEHHE 1100, THATS A BIG NUMBER"

"C'mon, Jeremy, lets drive. You can fix all that stuff in programming."

"I need a big bullwhip so I can snap you guys from across the room and keep you guys working." "Actually, I have one of those"

"Silly Abbas!"

"And then Iceland's like BIAHHHHH"

15 minutes before we had to leave for the Blue Man Group show in Las Vegas, our team leader says "Let's change the sprockets!"

hehe we just barely made it

[SL8]

Why isn't the program working you made it?


Me- It is.

Then what it is the problem?

Me- That is the problem!

One of the quotes I remember hearing...

"This game is so lame... all you do is run around in circles... this won't be no challenge." name withheld for their protection.

What a difference running around in circles for six weeks make.

ARCHI-

I remember that one too. NASCAR is way harder than we thought.

We did a demo today and when we asked the students what an engineer was, one replied with,

"A person that makes stuff with silver stuff and screwdrivers."

[Herodotus]

Student: "I tried three times but I can't get the angle right."
Me: "So.. try a fourth time."

Sometimes you just have to learn by doing.

But you don't hurdle in NASCAR! And there are no robots driving around in NASCAR!

^Team word

P.S. It was written on one or two of our orange capes are nationals, for those who might remember from the Archimedes division.

Upon printing out a paper copy of this years code.

Me:Hey, let's weigh the code now. *puts code on the scale* It weighs a half pound! See, that's how much weight you guys add to the robot.

Mentor: We should use floating points to reduce weight! We can actually remove weight from the robot that way. Forget those heavy integers, we'll just use floating points.

Mental: Dude, it would totally work!
