working on a prototype shooter
“Im giving you 5 grand! Practice some ‘grateful professionalism’!”
Followed by everyone trying to correct me -_-
“We should put depleted uranium on the BOM and see if the inspector catches it”
“The robot is 3 pounds overweight” - Engineer. “Guess I’ve got some code to delete…” - Programmer. Oldie but goodie.
“THE CLAWWWWWWWW” Grappling hook instantly brought back memories of Toy Story, now we have the aliens from the claw game all over our workshop -_-
-one of the programmers while holding a hammer right next to a broken computer- “TIME TO VOID THE WARRANTY”
-one of the programmers (Sam) trying to fix something-
Me: “Saaaaaam the Builder, CAN WE FIX IT”
Sam: “Shut up, everyone abandoned me.”
Me: “Saaaaam the Builder, YES WE CAN”
-One of the builders watching videos of other teams’ robots-
Builder: “Look at them, they have underglow! Why did we waste time making a working shooter and lifter when we could have UNDERGLOW.”
My rookie and I are like sisters, so when somebody messes with her she says this in reference to me.
“Don’t make me sick my lesbian on you!”
Or
“Don’t make me call my lesbian over here”
Student 1: “You did that problem wrong.”
Student 2: “I did it perfectly fine.”
Student 1: “You just disproved friction…”
Student: “I got it. I think.”
Mentor: “If all else fails, we can just hit stuff.”
Yay! Post #3574 on this thread!!!
So, I came back to the shop after having to miss a lot due to circumstances beyond my control (homework. Sigh), and saw on the whiteboard devoted to the programmers, someone had written “programmers = cool whip (fluffy)”. I asked around and nobody knew who had written it or what it meant… [insert Twilight Zone theme music here] :yikes:
Jokingly written while editing our scouting sheet:
Is the robot offensive, defensive, or defective?
If the Robot is to heavy take some 0 and 1’s out.
We also had a Freshman that calling everyone a Phys-co hose beast.
Mentor: You guys programmed a really good autonomous, 1671 even commented about it on Chief Delphi, on the CVR thread.
J: Is it really that good? It’s just a bunch of while loops!
A: Accept your praise!
Student: “When in doubt, dead blow.”
Student: “We haven’t caused any trouble!”
Mentor: “I quote ‘WE NEED TO GET ALL OF THE METAL SHAVINGS OUT OF THE ELECTRONICS BOARD BEFORE THE ELECTRICAL TEAM COMES BACK!!!’”
Student: Silence
Freshman: “Why is Wasay so emotionless and scary?”
Mechanical Lead: “Because his parents were killed by a clown, and then he became Batman.”
Me, having just heard: “Then I realized I didn’t have Morgan Freeman to build me cool stuff, so I joined a FIRST team.”
Student: ‘I figured out the game after the water challenge, the AIR challenge! This is how it’s going to be introduced: “Air challenge is played on a 27 by 54 foot ETERNAL ABYSS”’
My personal favorite-
New member: “Ummm… I cut this piece too short… We don’t happen to have like a channel stretcher, do we?”
Mr. Shannon, Mr. Shannon! The wheels are round!
… or I’ll cut your arm off with a band saw.
Explicit alert
Usually said from one of the head members to a rookie
“How tight should it be?”
“Pu**y tight”
Not as much a quote as it is a funny situation.
Student 1 and Student 2 decided that they wanted to investigate what happened to a wireless bridge that we had burned out because we accidentally reversed the polarity of a router.
1: “You know what? I really wanna see what happened to that burnt out router.”
2: “Alright, let’s open it up.”
So, they open it up and decide to plug it in and see if anything visual happens. Of course nothing happens at all, so student 2 suggests they grab an IR temperature reader.
2: “So, the baseline is anywhere from 70-80 degrees.”
student 1 turns on the power to the router and they both start reading out temperatures.
2:“Not the cpu and that chip, so let’s start checking the capacitors.”
1:“Well, those are at about 90. See of the CPU changed at all.”
2:“Nope, they didn’t change much.”
at this time, student two passes the temperature reader over a large capacitor, and the reader reads out 130 degrees. Student 1 bursts out laughing.
1:“Well, I think we found the problem!”
TL;DR Students start laughing their heads off when trying to diagnose a router when a capacitor reads out 130 degrees. Also, don’t kill routers. It’s a bad idea
the most commonly used quote “go home, you’re drunk.”
“Please explain to me what is the problem with connecting the camera on to the robot with double sided duck tape!”
“I’m not programming, I’m writing a paper. My teacher requires very strange syntax.”
