"marsupial drink" mentors so bored.....

"more ho'es more problems"- students reposnse to our lightening methods

"does cupcake miss his jarebear?" wierd love affair between two mentors

"how do blind people read lips?" one of the many non think before you speak statements from a student

"can you really get charged for death?" same student not thinking

"how did the fat kid beat all of us to the fridge....?" mad rush for the last marsupial drink and well we took to many paths and he blocked one while the others took longer

"NO CRUMBS IN THE cRIO!"
-dinner time

[Vermeulen]

"I am Poseidon, god of the sea! See me and tremble!" Me, practicing with the trident before regionals

"Stop A.D.D.-ing, we've got a robot to build." self explanatory...

"Dude, we're working too hard..." this was pretty much on a weekly basis of over engineering features on our robot

"Please don't anger my robot, you won't like it when it's angry (imitating a robotic hulking out effect)" that was me when i was talking to someone about my team's robot and they said it looked mean.

"Chuck Norris is only afraid of one thing... My robot" again talking to people about my team's robot...

"Come on, come on, you can do it I believe in you..." pretty much every member who has had to deal with Windows booting up and opening our programs for robotics like Labview/Solidworks/Autodesk has had to coax our computers through their hardship of doing a simple task.

"Well you see I wrote my to-do list on my forearm but I don't know what to do anymore because I've BURNED IT OFF!!!" ha, that was a personal accident of mine, sleep deprivation plus angle grinder and hot metal don't ever mix.

"Okay, the cRio's running code... okay it works! now quick lets go home before something happens!" like four days of trying to re-image the cRio and just run code on it.

"What should we name our robot? Let's call it Happy feet!... No, let's call it Anthrax!..." umm... we went with Anthrax, we are of course the Biohazards!

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!" pretty much the whole teams thoughts and sounds when we earned silver at the Arizona regional. We were happy

"Dude... they're just like batman" -Wyrzykowski

[Alex2614]

Said to our programmer, Luke talking about the control board - "Luke, turn on your targeting computer!"

Said by a speaker at the opening ceremonies in Pittsburgh: "...and the world will be at your oyster"

AH! Everyone picks on me because I write notes on my forearm. My logic? I can lose a piece of paper, I have yet to lose any body part.

Today a bunch of us were up at the school testing code with the practice bot. We run the code and what does the robot do? Drives forward and starts to spin in circles. (Aka: BOB's move from last year.)
...Still not sure how we did it. (We think the encoders were set differently.)

Our team was victim to a field fault in the finals and lost because of it. This is one of the few appropriate quotes that was a result of it.

Here's a quote that will be in next year's game animation, although it should have been in this year: "Wise teams will design control systems that can communicate with their robots, even when the field system fails."

"The nerds have kidnapped your computer, aaaand I'm pretty sure they're making babies with it."

"OW! I stabbed myself in the eye with my safety glasses!!"

"Before time began, there was...THE CUBE" said by jeeves while looking at some rock thing at the smithsonian that looked like the cube haha

[mayde]

At the Portland Autodesk Regionals:


"Whooaaa! Did we know it could do that??"

[Radical Pi]

Programmer 1: Set the autonomous mode to disabled
Programmer 2: Sure, but doesn't our autonomous fail to move at all?
Programmer 1: Yeah, but let's just be safe. We don't want it doing anything unexpected.

During Match: Robot drives forward and kicks in autonomous

Programmer 2: That switch was definitely on disable
Programmer 1: Oh well, don't touch it. It worked perfectly, let's try that for next match

Next Match: no movement

Oh also we took a staples easy button and hotwired it as our kick button. Someone then proceeded to put a label on it that says "Self Destruct". A student later walks by and says "So THAT's why we put C-4 in our Bill of Materials"

I've seen this happen before. I've also seen someone saved by their safety glasses... which they were wearing on their forehead.
