Have you ever....?

Why yes i have =]
Have you ever driven a robot throguh radio while not beeing in the same room the robot is, thus driving on blind?

Yes and surprisingly I didn’t break anything…I only drove the chassis around…I didn’t wanna risk anymore with the arm.

Have you ever started conversations with your robot or robot parts?

I’ve talked to them but they have never responded :smiley:

Have you ever taken your bot to the playing field only to discover you forgot to put in the 12v battery :ahh:

No, but we’ve freaked out at the beginning of autonomous because our driver forgot to turn the robot on…

Have you ever realized you could no longer buy icecream anywhere because all the ice cream places have closed since it’s getting cold? :frowning:

Yes. But then most of the time I can’t eat the ice cream anyway so it doesn’t bother me.

Have the robot parts ever talked back to you?

Nope–things have never gotten that crazy.

Have the robot parts ever taken a swing at you?

Yeah, Atlas’s arm opened right across my face last year.

Have you ever tried to race someone on a Segway?

No, but if I challenged our engineer from Segway he’d probably take me up on that. :cool:

Have you ever tasted lithium grease?

no, but ive tasted super lube

have you ever been eating chips and bit your finger instead of the chip … lal.

So many times…

have you ever eaten lays and cut your lip by one of them?

no, but definately a soar roof of my mouth :stuck_out_tongue:

ever get into the shower and forget the towel?

almost every day =]

ever spent a few hours testing something, only to later find out that you forgot to connect it to the power source?

You have no idea lol

Ever been uploading code only to have someone pull out the tether because, “it was in the way?”

Too many times…

Have you ever been hyped up on energy drinks during competition and was the driver?

Tried to but it didn’t work too well.

Have you ever sat around while testing code wondering why no servos are working for a half hour only to find out you were missing a back-up battery? (happened to us)

Almost every time after I haven’t worked on the robot for a while, but usually its only 5-10 minutes before I remember.

Have you ever had that issue. switched out the RC for an older one, had that one not work, convinced yourself that both must be broke, and ,just before you call a mentor to get another RC, had one of the non-programmers walk over and plug in the backup battery.(I was really tired)

no, cant say i have

ever fallen down the up escalator? (i swear i think i fell for 2 and a half minutes…)

Almost, I tripped at the Championships near where the pits are because my teammate was holding something, turned and I dodged it.

Have you ever recieved ridiculous errors from autoDesk inventor that makes no sense?

You have no idea.

Have you ever buiil a part in inventor just cause you had nothing better to do?

Can’t say I have–and besides, I’ve always used Pro/E.

Have you ever realized you’re only four classes away from graduation?
