Does anyone have any good Robotics jokes?

It's not "pseudo". It's sudo, a command to substitute userid and do another command as that user.

The su command is often misinterpreted by people as meaning superuser, since by default it will cause the current session to be treated as "root", the super user. If you have the proper authority, prepending a command with sudo will run that command with full access to the entire system and no further security checks.

one of our code guys has a shirt that has two cartoon characters one sitting in a chair and the other standing up each with speech bubbles.

May as well embed the original comics-

He was also responsible for this gem, probably my favorite XKCD comic to date:
(this was posted here on CD when it was first released, but while we're on the XKCD discussion, it seems relevant to the discussion)

^ And that last comic is called "FIRST Design."

Hmmm...

[Radical Pi]

Team 689 must be so proud of that comic (the comic ID is 689). Perhaps they tried to implement it

btw not even that design could stop 469. If they lock down on the tower before the sprinklers activate, then they can loop the balls from autonomous. Randall, your design is no longer the awesomest

Although not really jokes, the spotlights featured on Feb. 14 on cd always crack me up.

Not exactly a joke, but Post # 15 in this thread is classic.

Sorry about that i'm not really a code guy. i know survival code but i am not at the level of most FIRST code guys. Plus it's not my fault that i said pseudo instead of sudo it is a programmers fault. Yet another classic "joke" to put on your shirt.

This year we named our robot "LongShot," which was a bit of a joke itself.

During one of the many Mac vs. PC debate to face the programming team, this got shouted across the room:
Windows user 1: "Hey, why do Mac users multiply so quickly?"
Windows user 2: "I don't know, why?"
Windows user 1: "Because they don't think they need protection."
All Windows users: <insane laughter>

Your programmer pronounced it wrong, it's "su-dew". Like the soda. xD

Measure once, cut twice, oops, recompile!

[[H]eather M.S.]

So another robot walks into a bar. He looks at the bartender and says "Can I get a screwdriver?"

HA! GET IT? CUZ, LIKE A SCREWDRIVER IS A TYPE OF DRINK MIX!!!
meh, my friend told me that one...

[Wayne Doenges]

What do you get when you combine Vodka and Milk if Magnesia?

A phililps screwdriver.

Sometimes FIRST-er's look like they just got electrocuted after walking out of the work area after ship day - they likely did.
