Just as a fun little thread, I would like to hear a few quotes you and your robotics team mates have made during your time together. It doesn’t have to pertain to Vex at all; just a quote you made with you’re team mates that is always a funny inside joke. My team, 1233F has a notebook dedicated to just this. We put most of the in the notebook too, for a little touch of humanity. A few are:
“Hey F team, are you sure you’re robot is in the box?” - Last year, we had made a super light, all aluminum robot and we were packing our stuff.
“What are you talking about Jordan?” - I say an outrageous amount of stupid things.
“What happened to my chair? I’M OUT OF FRICKIN’ CHAIRS!!!” - Our head programmer kept getting up from his chair and every time his chair was stolen and after about 4-5 chairs, there were none left. So, he gets up with a very panicked look on his face and says this.
These are just a few; I would love to hear what you guys have to say! Thanks!
I need a guy powered grant
Clean that up
I don’t care how its done, just fix it
Daddy Sims (One of our Coach’s name is Mr.Sims)
Is this an elevator because I want to take this relationship to the next level (lots of bad pickup lines)
Just because something is unreliable doesn’t mean it isn’t great. Take Stephen Hawking for an example, great man even though most of him doesn’t work. (talking about another one of our school’s robots)
“Did aluminum come in yet?”
“Our bot is garbage sometimes”
“KEEGUN STOP TOUCHING THE PROGRAM”
“We need a better autonomous”
"Are you sure you know what you’re doing?’
“We have no lifes.”
“I want to die but VEX comes first” - me
Also I just cut my knuckle on my little finger because it was dark and I thought it was a zip tie, so I said some words that are allowed on the discord for that occasion…
Team mate: “Did remember you select an autonomous?”
Me: “Yes”
Team mate: “But did you really?”
Me, discreetly reaching down to select an autonomous right before the match starts: “yes…”
“Don’t forget the batties” ( I tried to write batteries on my arm with a marker to remember to grab some from Safeway, I misspelt it)
“It. Doesn’t. Fit. The. Piece” while banging my head on the wall
“Hear me out… [Insert bad idea here].”
“HEY! zip ties are a legitimate way to hold the drivetrain on”
“Where’s The shaft collar-y Allen wrenchy thingimibob?!”
“Jeez Harrison chill.”
“DREW. STOP. SINGING. NOW.”
“Oh wow this team is undefeated and we have to play against them. That’s gonna be so fun.”
