Mentors: No, we made bail at 3. We are working on the robot again

Seems like there is a story behind this one......

"PWM cables can be like wicks"

Our mentor chad after we told him we almost had a fire on our robot.

Yesterday, while packing the crate, we decided to let a few programming students handle it. They seemed to be lacking in drayage securement experience. After about thirty minutes of watching them fiddle around:

Mentor 1: "Geez guys; we could have packed it twice by now."
Mentor 2: "We could have driven it there by now!"

He was almost right (our labs is in Charlottesville and we're shipping to Richmond)

One of our members, pointing to the packet of grease that came in the kit asked, "Is that soy sauce? Why are we putting soy sauce on the robot?"

It is our first year, we worked till 10:30 on our robot today, but it is not finished (but close enough so we will finish at the event...) these are some of the quotes said today and yesterday, probably the most important to remember and not make the same mistake ever again, or they are just funny and will be laughed at in a few years when we look back.

Enjoy!

Me: "Guys... Next year we need to panic a week early..."

Teacher: "Umm guys, we are 0.25" too wide..."
Us: " Why the heck did no one measure it till today?!?!?!?"

Me: "We need to take this peaice off, its in the way of the un-widening proccess"
Mentor: " Well we can't use a saw so just drill 20 holes in a line where you would cut, I did that with a kitty door once..."

Me: "Guys this is the last electronic component to mount"
Me (5 minutes later): "O #$%@ guys I forgot the camera"
Me (1 hour later, while reading through the manual): O !@#$% forgot the RSL *Runs and gets it*

Someone: "So... umm... Zipties?"

Student: "It won't go in, its too tight"
Teacher: "It will wedge in, just hit it with a manualy actuated impact device"

Student: "How do we mount this?"
Teacher: *Picks up metal bands with holes* "This should work, it says 1001 uses!"

They'll never know if you hide the body.


Jim: If you do that, then I will have to kill you. And then I will have to hide your body on the mezzanine, and I don't want to do that since it is a long walk up stairs. So don't make me kill you


Peter: Why does it look like there is blood on this flashdrive? Did Palardy kill someone?
Jim: Palardy can kill someone with a 1gb flashdrive. It takes most other people at least 32gb to do that.

Searching for things on Chief Delphi...B is a new member...

B: "What is Dean Kamens first name?"
Team: "Really?!"
B: "Yea, isn't that his title, like the Dean of a school?"
Team: *Face Palm*

[Takashi267]

Someone on our team misspoke and said

Girl: "I'm marring his boyfriend"
Everyone else: "WHAT?!?!?!? That sounds so wrong in so many ways".
Me:"This is so going on Chief Delphi"
She was saying brother and boyfriend so many times she mixed them up....

I might as well add this
There is a programmer on my team and every time he drives the robot something breaks or get messed up. A perfect example is the last time he drove the robot. While he was driving a chain fell off which isnt really his fault but after mechanical fixed it the robot wouldnt turn on. So everyone was hoping it was the battery. So he goes and takes the battery out of the battery box that HE made. After taking forever to pull it out he say "oh $@#$@#$@#$@# thats hot". Thats when we found the source of problem to be a battery that was about 175 degrees F and bulging outward.

Lets just say Im really happy programmers cant drive at competition.

[Vermeulen]

Me: "Maybe the spike's not connected or something"
Mechanical team leader: "No, the green light's on."
Me: "That light's orange..."

Someone: "Why is all the scrap 80/20 arranged like this?"
Me: "Stop, that's the 80/20 city, and all the aluminum people live there and work on PVC farms!"
Someone: "Tom, you have waaay too much time on your hands."

well, look out, both our drivers are programmers!

All these are from one (really annoying) kid:
"Why are we passing out buttons? we're not trying to be elected!" (While talking about passing out team buttons)
"Interviewing other teams? that's SPYING!" (scouting meeting)
"Why can't I have a flaming motorcycle and go to the moon?" (random, prompted 20 minute discussion)
someone on our team started a quote book on him. I'll have to get some more...

This was said while discussing fundraising ideas

Desi:We should have a lemonade stand!"
Kevin:"In the middle of winter?"
