Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Me: I found this Starburst on the floor. I'm not sure if I should eat...
Ed: If you don't, I will.
Me: No, I was going to eat it.
Joseph: It must be a fat person thing.

Neither me nor Ed is that fat, we just both kinda big. Also the Starburst was really tasty.

You always measure with a micrometer, mark with a chuck, and cut with an axe!
"chuck?" Who is Chuck Marker? and why is he carrying an axe?

I can't hear your mentor say it, of course, but I've used the expression to convey the same thought about the measurement process. Don't bother with excess precision unless you intend to carry it all the way through. Oh, and I use a sharpie instead of chalk for marking and there's no axe in my toolbox.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

You'd be surprised how much marking a chuck can do. Just have to put it into the material without a bit in it. Works every time.

(Note: Do NOT try this at home/robotics/work, unless you like paying for chucks!)

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Only die-hard programmers will get this one. At the lab, I programmed a button on our router to turn on all of the lab computers when one presses it. It does this by sending Wol (Wake-on-LAN) packets to the computers. I put the following label on the button:

Code:
Wall
o
L 
(lol)
That's WALL - short for "WoL all."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

One of our shop mentors was ticked off at the Cass Tech competition the night we brought the robot because someone forgot some of his tools and he was yelling and saying "Im going to take someones throat, out with my pinkie."
scay for the freshmen that were there,


another ones are:

"Brian, don't touch that"
"Brian, stop"
"Brian, Quit pissing people off"
"Go away, Brian"

as you can tell that Brian doesnt listen...at all.

"Dont blame it on the programming team, its fabrication this time"


Good times. good times. lol

-If it explodes, you know it was a technical problem-

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"This is a graph of our team awesomeness though the years. It starts pretty high because we rookie all-stars. It then decreases because everyone but two people were seniors, but we did gain some awesome new people. Then it decreases to the lowest point because we only had six people. The graph after year three grows exponentially, even if this is only year five, because we became a larger, more organized, student lead team."

there are pictures of this graph on facebook

" We got some banging going on Here by the red zone"

Said during q99 @ curie by the announcer, I was laughing hysterically.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Interesting things happen when you update your status to read "ARCHI-":

1: "ARCHI-"
2: "CURIE"
2: "MADAM"
1: "-MEDES"

1: "ARCHI-"
3: "-TECTURE"

-------

2: "1189 wins the spirit award"
(he posted it 5 seconds after the REAL winners were announced at CMP today)
1: "I see what you did there...(I wish D: )"

4: "so i accidently clicked on arch
when i thought i ws clicking on curie
and i was like MG OMG A BLUE TEAM
then i went to look for them on my sheet
and was sad =["
(while Curie was REALLY behind in the elims today)
