The situation : I am just about to test the autonomous code that is guaranteed to do something.

The outcome : The robot, without bumpers, drives right into the wall, turns, and knocks over a shelf.

The reactions :

• The engineers and the electrical team : Oh no! I hope nothing's broken!
• The programmers (including me) : It worked!

When talking about picking up the ball at our Week 1 competition...

Mentor: "While the actuation of our arm may not be the fastest, we can pick up the ball lightning fast with no jiggling or finagling required!"

Since then, our arm has gotten faster, and the jiggling/finagling is still pretty nonexistent

Electrical Team:"None of you make any sense."
Mechanical Team:"None of you wake any sense."
Programing Team:"None of you make any sense."
CAD Team:"How do none of you understand each other?"
Mentors:"This is not what we are here for, don't look at us."

"Can't you mechanicals just order a bag of constraints? That's how we attach everything in CAD and the robot works perfect!"

"I'm gonna call the sleepy-sleepy method right now......." - a very tired programmer who was forced to go take a nap

in a Steve Irwin voice "crikey look at those programmers"

[Steven Smith]

It was reported to me by my wife that at ~4:00am Sunday morning, I was sleep-walking around the bedroom, trying to find a drill to re-rivet the arms for our elevator. I'm thinking a 48 hour nap after bag and tag might be in order...

"This years game is a lot like NASCAR. It's only exciting when things go wrong"

[Cody Lowen]

"I guarantee 100% that it will work this time.."

"Theoretically there should be no issues."

"Let's not, and say we did!"
