One of our officers making a calendar for us: “What’s a reasonable estimate for us to be done with our robot?”
Me: “After competition.”
Mentor: “How about the end of week 4? Can we do that?”
Build Captain: “No. But put it anyway.”
Calendar Girl: “Well, when will everything be done?”
Me: “Who knows?”
CG: “When will building be done?”
Build Captain: “When we get our parts and put them together.”
CG: “And when will the wiring be done?”
Me: “Once we know where to mount everything - after building is done.”
CG: “And when will programming be done?”
Programmer: “It is until build and electric add more. When will the calendar be done?”
CG: “Today.” -adds “Finish Calendar” to calendar for that day-
Build Captain: -comparing our Modulox rail to the schematic online- “Why can’t we do it like that? That one looks nice.”

Mentor: This was a good day. We wired the robot, drove it like heck, rammed it into a wall and fixed it with a giant wrench.
Mentor: How is that held in place?
CAD Lead: Go to the hardware store and buy a bag of constraints and put the constraints on the robot.
