Go to Post I find this ironic. In English class our teacher's tell us how there is symbolism and such, and we don't understand it or think its there. Then FIRSTer's get a Game Hit, and we think EVERYTHING is a symbol and has some significance. - akoscielski3 [more]

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Me: "What is the motor diameter?"
Student: "Two point five."
Me: "Units?"
Student: "Yes."

Me: "Square root of hertz? That's an interesting unit."
Student 1: "What should we call it?"
Student 2: "Squirts?"

Today the programmers got into (yet another) Mac vs. PC debate. Apparently the OS gods preferred Mac today...
Mac user: "Mac boots up faster."
Me: "No; you can't beat Windows 7's boot time."
Mac user: "Oh yeah? Prove it."
Me: "Okay, I will."
<I take out a stopwatch and punch the power button on one of the programming PCs>
PC: "One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency..."
Me: "What? NO! DARN IT!!!"
Mac user: <insane laughter>

I was unable to recover my argument after that.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

This quote was said about five days before kickoff by a friend of mine who had just joined robotics. Even though it was before build season I though this was hilarious.

Student: "Kevin,did I miss kick off because I heard it was last Saturday?"
Me: "No it was last Saturday last year but it got moved this year".
Student: "Did Fleck (Our adviser) move it back this year?"
Me: "No, FIRST did."
Student: "Who's FIRST?"

This quote was said by the same person two days after kickoff and he didn't go because he had to work, so he didn't know what happened that day.

Student: "Do we have a robot built yet?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"Actually make a full design. Don't just say you'll use a sensor or something"
mentor, during a design session.

Then a few days later:

"How's that going to deploy?"
"Sensors"

Also, after I got a nasty gash on my wrist from working on the electronics board:

My dad:What happened to your hand?
Me:I'm not emo, the breakout boards are really sharp!
dad:How did that happen?
Me:I was stripping and...
Dad:Stripping?
Me;Stripping WIRES. Like taking the insulation off of them
Dad:Isn't that dangerous to take the insulation off the wire?
Me:*looks at wrist* Apparently.


Needless to say, my parents to not have a very firm grasp of what goes on in robotics.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Student: (completely serious) "Well, the electronics don't really need to be protected in the last 20 seconds..."
Mentor: -starts cracking up- "Um, look at Jennie's face."
-Student looks at me. I have just about had a heart attack-
Student:....Just kidding!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"Rion. You BETTER not shut off my internet!"

Said by a student on facebook during build season. I was having fun kicking people off the internet using the wireless router settings that weren't building.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

This one may end up being our quote of the year...

One of our students got hit in the head with a soccer ball:
Student: "Ow! He hit me in the ball with the head."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

- "I'm compiling" -Head programmer while sitting around.
- "Where's the duct tape?" - almost everybody at some point

During competition while a scout from another team came to talk to us:

Scout: "Where's Your Robot?"
me: "What do you mean? It's right there"
Scout: "What?..... omg i thought that was your crate! "
me: "don't worry you're about the 6th person to say that."
our robot really did look like a crate that year, lol i miss the wooden sides.
