"Quotes" that were said during build season

[xXhunter47Xx]

Upon bagging the robot

Mentor: "And now back to our regularly scheduled lives"
Student: "what's that?"

Student: "What am I going to do with my life now?"

Senior members
Student 1: "This is our last build season..."
Student 2: "I'm gonna miss this in some sick sadistic way."

Student 1: "I'm gonna start having robot withdrawals"
Student 2: "You're gonna wake up at 3:00 AM and start looking for a 7/16 nut driver"

"Thats a tomorrow problem"

[KMeyers]

"Not with that attitude you can't"

[Legoboy0109]

My friend and I were talking and he said
"Hey Kaden check out what I found on the way to the robotics meeting today"
He then showed me a picture of a garbage can that somehow got dropped on the side of a hill.

I also found a shopping cart on the hill on my way to school today.

Clearly, somebody had trouble capping their stack. ♻️

Hello Chief Delphi community! (It's my FIRST post! Yay!)

Unless you're talking about Vex, aren't all CD posts FIRST posts?

"Get me some Colgate, our transmission is stiff"

"hm....i'm not sure that hole goes there..."

"Hey! stop putting the tools away! I can't find them when there in the proper places"

[Ethulin]

Maybe this is old but my favorite one that someone else posted:

Now for ours:
"Time flies when you are having robots."

"What do you mean the dongle fell out?" -- As the robot careens unstoppably towards our test ramp, it ripped the tether out and died, phew!

"Of course it'll work, I wrote it" -- Before hours of debugging certain pieces of code

"I'm just tuning the PID loop what could-- OH $@#$@#$@#$@#! OWW!" -- Robot shot straight backwards and knocked me over, ended up pinning me down with a wheel gnawing on my leg, out of reach of the dongle, which wouldn't have helped as it was a few inches from the OI, it fell out again.

"What do you mean backup battery?" -- As the radio kept cutting out during testing.

"There's a right way to do this, a wrong way to do this, the fast way to do this, and the way I'm doing this, which is a blend of the three others, now can you get me a bandaid?" -- Scraped up my arm trying to change a fuse in our green light...on the goal...on a rickety ladder, not my idea of fun.

"The code is doing exactly what we told it do, now to trick it in to doing what we need it to do." -- It was doing exactly what we told it to do...

"Mr. Schuler Watch this!..Aww..CRAP!!" -- As my tracking code has a horrendous failure in front of the man who never thought I'd make it work. Go figure.

This has been a fun season.

"Wait... It wasn't supposed to do that." - A lot of people said this, usually isn't a good thing, lol.

[GaryVoshol]

"It's just a mock-up"

"NO! No more prototypes - this is for real" - Lead build mentor's response to above

"I'm OK" - our injury-prone team member, usually immediately preceded by some loud noise

[DjAlamose]

"Assume the position" - this is said every time some reaches into the robot during driver practice (although we didn't use it much...)

[Peter Matteson]

"People do stupid things." followed by whistling the song the the Vonage commercials.

P: M walk away for a minute.

M: Why?

P: Because I don't want you to seeing what I'm about to do to this part.

A personal favorite: "The holes in the wrong place time to get the liquid metal."

"Don't worry A. can weld it." - Usually true but I can see him cringe sometimes when we say it.

There's a guy on my team, and the summer before the season started, he got hit by a car. A month or so after he healed, he got hit again. When we went to Cleaveland, he was fine, but every time we'd cross the street, whoever was in trouble was told, "Go stand next to the car magnet." That was his new nickname, the car magnet.

"THIS THING ISN'T WORTH THE POWDER TO BLOW IT TO HELL!"

Yeah that was the best one.

"Mike!"
"What?"
"Why are you drilling into the control board?!"
"I'm not...oh. That's what this is for?"

"Yo where's that special metric bolt?"
"Did you check the shop-vac?" (it was in there)
