Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Oh yeah, I forgot about labels!
"BACKWARDS" "until we fix it" -Two labels, one above the other, on a sensor cable that we had soldered backwards and didn't want to spend the time fixing. "maybe bad" -Written on any battery that fails to hold a charge. Or, more accurately, any battery that we think cannot hold a charge because we think its charged when its not and try to use it. "(really) (really) stupid light" -Label on the yellow diagnostic light on our robot. Every time we have to spend two hours tearing apart our wiring to fix said nearly useless component, it gets an additional "(really)". We actually refer to this as the Stupid Light in general conversation now, capitalizing and pronouncing it as if that is its proper name. "this is not a toy" -Label on the disable dongle after someone broke it by toggling it back and forth all day out of boredom. "Auto Brake: Arm/Disable" -Label on a military-style switch on our custom control box, meant to imitate an actual switch found on a Boeing 747. We also have flight simulator joysticks, so this is appropriate. "magic/more magic" -XKCD switch labels on our teleop/autonomous switch. We wanted to use "order/chaos", but the programmers and drivers couldn't agree on which mode got which label. |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Told to our programmers on a daily basis during build;
MAKE MORE TYPINGS. MAKE DO THINGS |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
We have a similar switch, only it has one label and one of those epic protection thingys on it...don't ask me to describe, I'm software.
"Win Button" even though it's a switch. I don't know why. Both this year and last year at awards banquet: "THE CAKE IS NOT A LIE!" And some old ones: "Do you think we'll get extra points if we have it do a barrel roll?" "The output of the one shot is the clock for the flip-flop." "Those cheerleaders have to die!" //I fear for them... "I know what's wrong" //Followed by panic Last edited by demosthenes2k8 : 04-06-2009 at 16:42. |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Our FTC team place 49th out of 50 at Atlanta, 2009 (FRC fared better, BTW). We lost all six of our matches. The 48th seed was 5-1.
Student: "Hey, at least we weren't the worst. We seeded higher than one team who also lost all six matches." Mentor: "That's because we let our opponents score more during our six losses." We all thought about this for a second, realized he was right (rank by RP fails when you have more losses than wins) and that we were the worst performers on the field that day. |

"You don't need food"
"We have plenty of time before ship date, all of Sunday" "Our radio just got snapped in half" "Well we took apart the CIMs, and ever since, one always seems to be hotter after driving practice." "OK we need thirteen sprockets, and a ten foot length of chain, don't worry, it's not what you think." |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
I think you're missing a few "build" steps.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Heard at various times during the season:
"What's the difference between a pit bull and a robo mom ??? - safety glasses" (from a Robo Mom ...) "I don't know what you're talking about ... everything below the belt is works fine ..." |

" We should all become programmers and make our robot self-aware; at least then we wouldn't need to worry about fitting in driver practice, which we don't fit in anyway"
