For all you mechanical teams out there, you wouldnt be around if there wasnt an dynamic electrical team!!!!!!! LOL

[Torboticsmember]

So I guess I would be between mechanical and programming, more on the programming side, because I am the electrical team, or about 15/16th of it, and the programming team, and do mechanical jobs to. So I guess I'm just heinz 57.

But electrical still is the best of all teams

You hid the bearings on me!!

Our mess takes up 1/6th of the shop. Fabrication takes up the rest. I think we have a winner here.

You think thats good? We have a whole corner devoted to electronics! Almost 1/4 of the room.

[Uberbots]

you think THAT is messy? you obviously havent seen our proto-bot...

As programming and Electrical mentor for 1523, I must come to the defense of the electronic students. Here is our finished??? board. Yes, wires fly and connectors are trashed. but they are the most important link to the design. Electrons RULE!

I normally work with mechanical but worked with electrical yesterday. They were actually a lot neater than mechanical. It just depends on if the person in charge makes sure everyone cleans up after themselves. and that pic did not look very messy at all. it would take like 30 secs to clean up

Without your pumps being wired into something... who needs plumbing?

And if you think of it... wires are plumbing for electrons

I could show you FAR worse pictures of our mechanical teams....

BTW the board looks nice. Nice raised RC.

heh, you should see our room. Mechanical and electrical both share the same space... It is true that we (mechanical team) are on the floor fabricating more and electrical barely does anything (bunch of slacker (yes, singular)) but still. Yeah, I wouldnt go there guys .

p.s. is that lexan or plexiglass?

[rachal]

Ahhh, that looks a lot like our board. Including the standoffs under the RC. Why are yours so high?

We put the gold breaker fuse box thingy (sorry for lack of correct term, they're all Lego's to me ) underneath the RC


Vivek: It's 1/4 inch Lexan. Our 1/8 inch polycarb was too thin

I remember last year our captain of electronics went zip-tie happy and tied down every single wire on our board 4 weeks in. In the next two weeks we had to cut every single friggin tie to find out which wires were what.

Now electronics team is organized, but they keep trying to steal lab tables from mechanics. My team's captain caught me threatening one of them with a piece of 80/20. On camera. Darn electronics...

If all you Metal Benders don't respect us Spark Chasers and give us equal room to work, all your robot will amount to is a $3500 motionless statue!!!

Remember, we bring good things to life.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! It's Alive! It's Aliiiiveee!

Besides, we have the Programmers on our side (some serving in a dual role as Spark Chasers). They're like the Irish in "Braveheart" - crazy.

And it's not so much how messy your work area gets WHILE you are working; it's how well you clean up afterwards that counts.

lol you think that's messy!?!? take a loook at this http://andrewshomepage.50webs.com/everything.html

the photos there...thats clean for me

like said above, you really don't want to start a war with this
