Teammate: “Hey, so… these Allen wrenches are from vex…, right?”
Me: “Yeah?”
Teammate: “That means they’re legal parts… right?”
Me: [silence]
Me: “What did you do? let me see”
Teammate: " No! No! Don’t look! I was just wondering if theoretically we use an Allen wrench on the robot if it would be legal… theoretically"
Me: “Why do you need to know?”
Teammate: “This Allen wrench is one with the screw, they are together forever”
people mess around…
“YOU ARE TESTING MY PATIENCE”
YES ALL THE TIME IT’S SO ANNOYING
*cortex completely off*
*backup battery and power expander unplugged*
Builder: ZACH THE LIFT IS FIGHTING ME IT’S YOUR PROPORTIONAL CONTROL JUST USE ROBOTC
*we replace the motor controller*
*everything works fine*
Same builder: Well duh, of course it was the motor controller. Those broke all the time on my old team.
“WHERE’S ALL THE ******* ALLEN KEYS?!?!?!”
edit: its because our class has 7 groups all with their own robot and apparently the other groups cant keep them together as we are the only group with the 4 original.
In an interview…
Asked about one thing you have learned.
Programmer: “Its always the programmers fault” @ABlindSquirrel
we found them all today. This one group had 8 and never said anything
“The problem with that is…”
“Hey where’s a (insert random sprocket size) sprocket?”
“Oh, another one of Barker’s moments of education.” (Barker is our mentor)
“Oof.”
“Well guys, were out of Dremel disks again…”
My all time favorite,
“Do you like bread?”
we use “It’ll be k”
a lot.
“its a nonissue”
Two years ago, we had to replace the gears in a motor with two stripped screws. We were at the US Open and had no replacements for the screws, so when we put it back together we held the motor together with rubber bands, tape, and prayers to robot Jesus…
“I’m sure it will be fine…” --me, two years ago
“I don’t know what other people are doing with the drive train, I’m just the programmer”
My team says this all the time to me because I forgot to select a driver and auton:
Teammate: “Jake did you select them this time”
Me: “Yes, yes I did”
Teammate: “Are you sure?”
Me: checks to make sure I actually selected an auton and driver and finds I didn’t
Me: “Yes” discretely selects both
