"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Dolan]

(me and team programmer thinking of things to write on the crate)


team programmer: it could say "This Robot is more valuable than the organs and combined incomes of everyone in [subject hometown here]."

me: or we could make it a Companion Cube!!!!

then we made many more portal quotes because we Love Cake, and it is not a lie

"We plan all year long just to make sure we have this crunch time, don't we seniors?" - that would be our president's dad getting frustrated with us.

"Why is the air compressor the size of a screw in Autodesk? How the heck is that going to power a steel kicker?!"

"I'm good with making the wood do what I want - thats why I'm non-robotic construction VP XD" - our VP of Non-Robotic Construction

We have this joke about this one kid in our group. He cusses when something minor happens and laughs his head off when something catastrophic happens:

"AHH! I got a paper cut! ****!"

"...Did you just break our last master link?"
"Huh? *looks down* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

etc.

Also there were lots of "Are you trolling me?" and "Is this manual trolling me?", "Is the parts list trolling me?", "What do you mean you broke it? Is this a troll" etc.

Also lots of Star Wars references and karaoke to Beach Boys and Queen.

I got tired of them before the first one.

Also;

"This looks like a good place to put a motor"

I would hope that the Manual trolls people. While it's been butchered and re purposed faster than the word "ironic", by strict definition, trolling is doing something, usually provocative, to draw attention to itself. Hopefully people pay attention to the manual.

"Ooops, I accidently drilled through the cRIO"

One of our lead mentors, while drilling a screw in.



Luckily, it was just a scratch.

"Wow... this ethernet cord is really kinky."

"This should be working... oh..." (from one of the programmers)

Mentor: "Lets just winch it so hard that we crush our arm."
Student: "Ya, that'll work"

Our programmer (E) turned 17 on the 2nd of February, and all he asked for as a present was for the swerve drive to work. It didn't. A few days later on the 8th, I had my 18th birthday and it did in fact work.

Me: "You see, E? I got swerve drive for my birthday. The team obviously just loves me more! "

Forgot to include this in my last post:

For anyone who watched the Olympics Opening Ceremonies, you'd have seen the little mishap that we had with the pillars (for those who don't know, one of the four pillars didn't rise, leaving one of the torch bearers awkwardly standing there as the other three lit the working pillars). Not two minutes after, some of our team members had received texts asking, "So what do you think? Mechanical or electrical problem?" Haha only robotics kids...

Which reminds me:
Electrical Captain: "Guys, it's obviously a mechanical problem!" *as he connects a wire*

[Radical Pi]

"You forgot to put the jumper in the bumper" -- when the battery readout wasn't working

CAD Team: "Why is the motor on the right side of the robot"
Frame Team: "...Because we put it there"
CAD Team: "But the CAD drawing says it should be on the left side!"
Frame Team: "Well then go fix the CAD model"

Pneumatics: "Programmers, why isn't the cylinder firing?"
Programemrs: "idk, the light on the solenoid module is turning on and off. It must be wired wrong"
Electronics: "No, the light on the solenoid is turning on and off. It must be connected to the pneumatics wrong"
Pneumatics: "Uhh..........are you sure? We never do stuff wrong!"

Today I was trying to get the autonomous working. Meanwhile, the driver was trying to practice and the mechanical team was trying to work on the robot.

Driver to mechanical: Hurry up before he decides to load more code.
Me (ten seconds before mechanical finishes): OK, loading code.
(after a while)

Driver: Why aren't the pistons working?
Mechanical: Oh, somebody crimped the hose shut.
