"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Cothron Theiss]

"So how are the designs going?"

"Well, it's taking longer than expected, which was to be expected."

"What?"

From our senior member last year
"Duck tape doesn't fix everything : ( , but it helps"

He wrote that on a Plexiglas sheet that broke on our robot during our very first regional, we have that sheet hanged up on our wall.

[Eye-gor]

this is from last year's team captain:

"it won't fail 'till it breaks"

Towards the end of build season we start making up words like "gription" and "prettify". Maybe it's because of lack of sleep, but none of the made up words need any explination.

WE have our infamous "Napkin of Truth" where we write down all the words we've made up. Just to name a few.

Gription (though everyone has made this up, I believe)
Argaffirming- Arguing with someone, while simply restating what they've already said. It's both arguing and reaffirming.
Inspenser- The opposite of a dispenser.
Theoletically- Me trying to pronounce theoretically.

I'll post some more when I have access to the Napkin.

[Team 1967]

"Forklift scooper thingy!"

"You're allowed to be twice as big as the ball."

"Their word is not Gospel- we learned it the hard way"

"It's ok if we fail."

"...means robot goes crunch."

"Dude?! Is it even possible for a robotics mentor to NOT know how to set up his own voicemail system?!"

Me: *returns from shop carrying 2 pieces of 80/20 extrusion about 5 feet long, just cut with a hacksaw*
"The 1x1's for the arm are cut"

P2: (from across the room) "they're uneven" (I have a reputation for being sloppy)

Me: *puts them down, lines them up. They are different by about 1/16th of an inch* "No they aren't"

P2: *looks at end* What's this look like?

Me: A 32nd of an inch?

P3: We'll fix it in programming

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"DON"T LET JOE NEAR THE EPOXY!!!!" (I build rockets with epoxy+fiberglass as the primary fastening material, and have a tendancy to...overuse it for robotics.)

[mormannoob]

me: whats that noise

marcus:its either a vaccum or a compressor

so if true = "1" and false = "!true"
then in theroy false can = "peanut butter"
which may also mean true might equal jelly

"Without robotics, kids like us are left alone and afraid!" lol Kraemer (Drive Train)

Our school was scared of snow tonight and decided to cancel all after school activities (hence the previous quote) . They told us we can't come in. Normally, if this was later on in build, we wouldn't listen but we all decided to play it safe for once.(hence the next quote)

"MORT is not a f*****g afterschool activity!!! We simply can't be canceled! Its more like a ...'hey Mr. Principal man, we're staying here for 12 hours if you don't mind. Oh and don't worry, we'll sleep in the gym'... " -Tanvir (End effector)

lmao..always more to come

[Andrew Bates]

P1 "This is hard"
P2 "That's why they call it robotics"
P3 "Wait? it's called robotics cause we build robots right?"
P2 "No"

Ian: "I've found a way to keep Baker quiet. Give him a file and some sharp edges."
Me: "That wouldn't last long though"
Ian: "I'd keep giving you metal."
Me: "Fair enough."

You'd have the safest robot ever, at least; I don't know how many times someone has cut themselves on an edge we forgot to file...we try, we really do, but something always ends up still sharp.

I'm obsessed over filing. It's fun.

Me: "So I had this idea for a CNC Coloring machine..."
Bob (our programmer): "...a printer?"

(Me, telling the rest of the team the shelf dimensions)


Me: "Ok, the shelf is 60 inches wide by 12 feet deep"
D: "Twelve feet?"
D2: "That would be a big area"
A: "We could use a big DDR pad"
Me: "It would take three-four people to work it"
"LIFT THE ARM UP!"
"WHA?"
"LIFT UP THE ARM!!!"
