Go to Post Team spirit is not all about the tools/noise makers. The Tigertrons didn't have any sort of noise makers. Consider other aspects of the award by making signs, mascots, cheers, and how you interact with other teams. - team222badbrad [more]

Re: Dont You Hate It When...

In robotics don't you hate it when...
...your robot has problems with the radio so it ends up becoming immobile before your drive team even touches the controls?
...when you learn at competition that 1/3 of the batteries you brought do not in fact work?

In other news, don't you hate it when...
...you attempt to make a sarcastic question online, but somewhere along the way the tone and inflection get lost in cyberspace, so you just end up sounding like a complete idiot asking a totally pointless question?
...you end up procrastinating doing a project you know that you have to finish by coming on CD and consequently not noticing that before you know it it's already 11 PM?

At one of the registration days at the beginning of the year I actually made a sign saying: "I'm not smart isn't an excuse".

That could be applied to so many areas.

Don't you just hate it when - the moment comes to crate or bag the robot and you have to wait a while to see it again?

Re: Dont You Hate It When...

when...You forget to feed the watchdog
when...People claim they have no idea about a meeting when you send out 3 E-mail reminders weeks ahead of said meeting
when...People who are signed up to bring food on a night dirring build season, dont bring food!!!!
when...your team is deploying code to the robot when in the pit, and right as you are getting called up, Labview freezes, the code fails deploy, you try again but you don't have enough time so you end up with no code on the robot!
when...you just happen to take the fried battery to use for the match and not one of the nine perfectly good ones?

when the school "promised" you a CNC mill 10 years ago and the spot for it in the shop is still vacant. >.<
