First attacks old ladies

Dave Lavery was right… all we had to do was type in “attack old lady” and when we started up our robot it did. No help from us. :ahh:

Haha thats funny. Can you elaborate on what happened?

I’m pretty sure (read: I hope) he’s kidding.

Heres the video of it all
and no we’re not kidding
Movie

Yea, he’s really not kidding, I was there (I’m the one in the red shirt in the middle of the group)…We’re still laughing about this one…That was seriously THE VERY FIRST time we had turned it on and connected to it with it on the ground.

Heres the movie with the faulty code that tracked the old lady
along with the robot hitting the old lady Movie with faulty code :ahh: :ahh: :slight_smile:

:ahh: That’s pretty funny. Can I have your reassurance that no women over the age of 70 were harmed in the making of this film?

We didnt make it, it just happened, and no she didnt get hurt

Wait, that can’t be real. The code at least can’t be.

Waits to be called stupid freshman

EDIT: Whats that the code for? It’s definately not for the robot.

No, we will not call you a “stupid freshman”, we attribute your hasty remark due to lack of expirence, but you will gain that in time. For now we will call you, like many other first years, “Rookie”. With that title we accept the fact that at some points you will say wrong, and at others you will utterly amaze us with your brilliance.

I also have to say that the robot attacking that old lady, well that’s just freaking priceless.

I got a chuckle out of that, have to make a dongle with a big e-stop button hooked to the disable pin on the competition port when we test. :smiley:

Well, however funny it might be, I dont think she’d like being called an old lady, but it was hilarious. I like the code for it too!!

ahahaha… i need one to attack a good ol enemy of mine :smiley: Evil

lol pulls out a wallet
“how much? There is one annoying person on my team and ya…”

Great opportunity to make a “Beware of Robot” button…

If you get something from lsdiodes.com (they sell LEDs so it wouldn’t be that hard to use…) you get a free “Robots will kill you.” sticker.

Not quite what FIRST is about, but oddly appropriate at the moment.

oh my… this reminds me of last year when we visited a nursing home. The robot was disabled and no one was near the controls but it drove forward and almost gave the poor old people a heart attack… :ahh:

Cool bumper sticker, i wonder how many people will have them on their robots?

this was very enjoyable but i would like to know if the woman is alright
