Wait, programming?


When preparing to update our version of WPILib:
"Are we sure we want to do this? Last year it broke our code."
"Don't worry, it will be fine"
*the new WPILib breaks our code*

This is my motto when writing code too but my hammer is metaphorical... (it is bad ugly code that runs inefficiently but it runs)

another one is "What Would Dave Do"

[MisterL]

Student: Lets name our stripper Maria!
Another Student: But isn't that the name of our bimbo?
Me: It's called a Bimba
Both Students: Can't Maria be a stripper and a bimbo?
Me: Bimba.

Mr. Young: What time is it?
Jessie: 4:22.
Me: It was 4:22 15 Minutes ago!?!?!
Jessie: Wait that clock is broken.
Mr. Young: Well what time is it?
Me: 4:22.

Careful that swiss cheese will cut you!

Sign in the shop: "DO NOT FEED THE ROBOT"

"What are you doing?"
"The alan wrench broke off and now it's stuck in the bolt"
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?"

In my four years, I have never seen anyone break an alan wrench. I'm still confused.

What are you guys doing? Back to work!

We are working!

There are four of you standing around nothing...

We're... Uh... Helping program... Yeah! Cause, ya know, it takes four students one of whom is a programmer to program a robot.

[G33K]

Jake: "Why is there an octagonal hole in this tubing?"
Connor: "...to fit the hex shaft...?

They might have gotten away with it if someone had said, "Compiling!".

The mentor who is "overseeing" programming doesn't even know what compiling really means so he'll actually not see that it's actually important. Crazy part is: HE'S SUPPOSED TO KNOW IT!

Probably shouldn't say this but: "Use this, It's less safe."

"I think the most ridiculous part of this sign in sheet is the fact it says END=12:15AM at the top."

Mentor: "I've heard when you sprinkle a zero with foo-foo dust, it works as a denominator"

I'm never talking about math/magical sparkle dust this early in the morning again.

A coder is making a random program with 6-7 nested do{}while loops:
Coder: "We need to go deeper."

Students working on chain run: "We didn't screw up, its just chains hate us!"
