That worked out well for us
“We can build that the week before the competition”
Me to people walking by: We have a really cool autonomous selecter. You want to see it, it’s way better than our autonomous. You want to see my lvgl tutorial on how to make it?
Rest of my team: “You should have focused on the autonomous rather than the autonomous selecter.”
Person that I was talking to: walked away 10 minutes ago.
Allright, how does that auto selecter work?
The autonomous selecter actually got a lot better and nicer looking. Here’s our code if your interested.
Coach Ross: Team 2360Z, our season has ended nearly 3 weeks ago. Please return all field elements to the school.
Remaining team members: Okay No problem, we’ll have it back by the end of this weekend and you’ll get them all monday
Team walks into basement
Oh we left all our tools at school…

Me: This team robot identification plate with the name on it will help people recognize that I’m the one on the Forums! Maybe they’ll talk to me!
Me at competition: …
Other teams: don’t notice, care, or make the connection
Me: I’m sorry about our performance in that last match. Please don’t hate us.
Last week: Monday. Writing autonomous, after few hours testing and changing values it worked fine and reliable.
Wednesday afternoon. Showing Autonomous to the rest of the team. Me: Autonomos works pretty well again!
Turning Auto on
Autonomous: Fails completely…
Me: But it worked on Monday! I even recorded it!
Next try: Fails again.
Changing values again, works fine again, it hopefully works at worlds.
Me: Gathers all the knowledge and information about programming robots…
Program: Doing advanced equations to calculate the robots position. Applying 50 PID loops. Rendering fractals. Simulating the field down to the atom…
Same thing happens (Works perfectly until the rest of the team sees it)
#programmerproblems
That´s always the showcase problem. Works fine until you actually show it to your teammates…
But what do you mean by calculating the robots position? So you ´re actually able to tell the robots position on the field? Cool!
No, it was for comedic effect. But maybe next season.
- Y Not?
- I’m gonna make like Mr. Grabeal’s hairline and recede outa this conversation
- Remember the racoon? (A teammate got assaulted by a raccoon on the Big Four Bridge at Worlds last year)
- Beach Ball. Enough said (Our team blew a beachball up with canned air during starstruck worlds finals… sounded like a bomb)
- @Harrison_1561H … as a brother …
- Fake News
- if we actually received funding…
- Dont be like Payton and drive your robot off the table
These are only a few of ours.
“there’s always next year”
-Me (each and every year)
Me: I apologize for our terrible performance for the entire tournament.
Teammate: We need to build an angle changer, and a descorer.
Me: How long will this take?
Teammate: 10 minutes.
[1 day later, yet still not done]
“Imagine if we actually made it to worlds this year”
“how did we actually make it to worlds this year”
“We won a competition so our robot is actually good right?”
Immediately rips apart robot after next competition
“I’m running on 5 hour energy and boba.”
“I’m confused.”
Person A: “Is our auton more towards the roadkill or walking dead side of deadness?”
Person B: “Roadkill cuz it basically does nothing. At least the walking dead strikes terror into the hearts of others.”
“According to the spreadsheet, we won’t be last.”
Robot: *screeching *
“Nope”
“If you launch one more ball at me I swear to the almighty robotics beings.”
“Everything’s completely fine!”
Welp we are out of time we should of practiced when we could now our robots are in
And we are in
