The great thing about liking someone in your robotics team is that they've already seen you at your worst, and you cant shock them with ANYTHING anymore :D |

Is it weird that I was hoping we wouldn't have too many snow days so that graduation wouldn't run into Battlecry? |

I heard a Lou Holtz quote as an answer to the question of "how do you motivate the unmotivated". He said " You eliminate those who are not motivated." |

I wouldn't recommend using steel because it will eat up your weight budget pretty quickly. |

Programming isn't that hard once you get the hang of it. It has a steep learning curve like math. One day your trying to figure out 1+1, then the next day they throw x and y at you. Once you understand what x and y represent and learn to think in terms of functions, it's as easy as pi. |

You people are weird... Now if you'll excuse me, I have some code to debug and I need to figure out where to get tank tracks. |

However, as a philosopher, while you need math, you can probably talk your way out of it. |

Our team is using a video camera with frame-by-frame analysis to figure out all the characteristics of the foam ball. If the Boeing engineer says it's possible, I'm going to believe him. |

There's no feeling quite like that one you get when you're behind the diamond plate controlling a metal beast that you've put your blood (literally), sweat (more literally), and tears (probably literally) into, and it working. Undescribable. |
