Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

I said this at the end of an e-mail I just sent to the team about paying for Portland. Don't know why, but I guess I wanted to end on a positive note:

"One final note to all rookies: the regional competitions are absolutely incredible and it is hard not to have a good time. However, don't go in with a win-at-all-cost mindset; focus on having fun and that will make your team way cooler than if you just focus on winning all the time."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

[apologies if any of these are repeats...it's getting hard to keep track of which ones i've posted already]

"As opposed to a weld, it could be a rivet"
*like a frog* "Rivet rivet..."

"Will you eat my computer for $5?"
"No"
"How about for a piece of blueberry pie?"
"..."

We never got an answer, but his face light up quite a bit.

Mentor *listening to the music that's playing*: "Wah? Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't hear what you said, I was listening to the guitar solo"
"You have beautiful eyes."

"The internet is not a truck!"

"Lunch break!" *pulls fruit cup out of his pocket*
It was 8pm.

"I don't fail at computers, computers fail with me!"

"Culture, torture, it's almost the same thing"

"Old McDonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o...And on that farm there was a Kara, e-i-e-i-o...With a rule G6 here and a rule G7 there, here a rule, there a rule, everywhere some more rules...uhh...e-i-e-i-o!"
My co-captain is very interesting, to say the least.

"That's more better"

"Well, there's the problem" *holds up one end of a disconnected PWM*
"I'm not sure if that's a programming or a mechanical problem"
"It's a 'You need a longer PWM problem'"

"WHAT!? You mean I have to use TRIG!?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

We were making jokes about going to Hawaii, cuz we're so excited
"We'll have to wear coats with ice blocks underneath, we start melting when it gets above 32F."
"Obviously we'll have a huge advantage in Hawaii, we're the team that is likely to have the most experience driving on ice!"

wow that is probably the worst part of working with 8020. everything seems to fit together, you slide a t-nut into a 50" long piece, and it falls all the way down past several objects which will later cause trouble in retrieving it. GAH

"That's a lot more gooder!" This was said from a freshman (me) to a mentor who started cracking up. The freshman looked at the mentor for a minute and didn't get it...for an hour afterwards.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Newb-"Don't question this wisdom of Mr. Ray"
and from across our lab, I replyed " Don't question anything of Ray!"


And another one just happened today, my boyfriend was asking me if I can hang out tomorrow;

Him- Can you hang out tomorrow?
Me- I live in a world of communist robots, I have to ask their permission to do anything outside of robotics.


Mountain Dew flows through the veins of my team, and it can't be healthy.


Same newb- Mr. Ray, who's your favorite newb?
Ray- My favorite what?
Newb- Newb.
Ray- Alex.
