#first robotics competition

[leiamcgonagall]

Overheard at robotics build session part five:

“It’s the iphone of military takeovers.”

“I love bearings that crunch, the sign of truly healthy bearings.”

“They’re crayons, you delinquents.”

“Safety isn’t as important as the wall of shame.”

“Here you go, if it’s a carcinogen do it outside.”

“A long time ago in the galaxy far far away that is robotics 2013…”

“What do you want from me, you foul creature?!!! I’m in hell!!! Hey, what do you put in for sine theta here?”

“I don’t know how it works, therefore it doesn’t exist.”

“Is that a reference to the hit natural sleep schedule, fuck you industrialization?”

“Worst case scenario only one of us dies. There’s not enough electricity in the world. I don’t fear electricity, electricity fears me. That’s why I’ve never been shocked more than three times in a day.”

“I went to the ER for stomach pains and left with a half a cast on my arm.”

On today’s agenda: how many safety violations can my team commit in one sitting

(Additional quote insanity)

Sleeping late for the 5th week in a row

I'm sure this won't have any bad consequences on my health

This Friday Molly got to meet a robot! The local junior high robotics team dedicated some time to come to the nursing home where I work so the patients could see their robot and learn about how it works! Me and my coworkers agreed it was a great opportunity for Molly to learn how to function around unexpected things, she did VERY well considering you don't see robots everyday. The team was nice enough to let me get a photo of the bot with Molly, and she thoroughly enjoyed watching it wander around the floor (I let her watch the bot for awhile since it was a new experience and expecting her to focus right away was just completely unrealistic). She was able to effectively task and listen to commands even while watching her environment which is exactly what I hoped for. Great job Molly!

You know you’ve spent too long in the pits when you can still feel the phantom of your safety glasses around your ears hours after you took them off.

For anyone keeping up with The Hoax on AO3...

Chapter 16 might be delayed. 😬😬

I've been sick- technically, I'm still a little sick... But I'm also mentoring at a FIRST Robotics competition this weekend.

If time allows, I'll put it up on time. If not, it'll be posted sometime next week.

Thanks for understanding!

Any anonymity I had left on this blog can die because we took an awesome picture at our meeting last night.

Look at him, isn’t he beautiful?!?! Meet Apollo, my new favorite child

(disclaimer: this blog is not officially affiliated with FRC #1533 Triple Strange in any way, it is literally just me doing this because I think it’s fun)

Btw, Donnie’s made a robot for every frc season since he found out it existed & he’s kept them

This is the first year he’s had enough for a match of only robots of his signature design. The year he can play an actual match instead of just make pretend

build season update:

please god i am so tired. why would you do this to us.

lowkey i still look forward to meetings. but i go home so exhausted why am i doing this to myself

it’s like having a job. but without pay

oh boy that game piece

why do ring have to squish? Why do ring flex?

look, I know I wanted a frisbee game but I am instantly regretting it

[hypershocks-frc-dump]

so, opinions on this year's game? I find it pretty cool, albeit the chain is rather confusing to start off

Overheard at a robotics build session part six:

“Inhaling metal shavings will at least make me feel proud of myself. Doing cocane, not the same.”

“I found the compliant wheels, you are about to get absolutely Shrecked.”

“It’s using its own alchemical value to bring itself back into existence so it can disappear again.”

“I think I need a voodoo priest and a chicken.”

“My dear, a print failed and you ate it. You don’t get to talk.”

“The electrical lead is confirmed a Disney princess.”

“I’m going to take a soldering iron and put it up against…… uh…… uh……………. your big intestine!!!”

“God stole both of our boyfriends, you and I could get together. Do you graciously accept?”

“Capable of fire. Rating: fire. Rated for less power than you’re gonna put through it.”

“What are the rules for acceptable power for your bumpers? Gas power.”

“This is what happens when she goes to get a battery, shrawaow scrahwawwaow scrawaw!!!!!”

“Just deploy the dingity dongity dingity dongity ding ding dongity code, ya know?”

“The emergency Fuck Something Happened doesn’t turn back on for more Fuck Something Happened.”

“Okay. Wait. Don’t file my elbows.”

“Yeah, but yours isn’t haphazard and dangerous! It doesn’t do this, and get even more weird and dangerous!”

#the other thing my lunatics did this week was build a shrine to the Almighty Ramen Noodles #they hung a stool from the ceiling with a package of ramen on it #and i walked in on them standing in a circle around it and chanting #i knew they were a cult but dear god i didn’t know it had gotten this bad #frc #frc quotes #frc robotics #robotics #first robotics competition

Did your team ever have ridiculous superstitions/cults/other very ridiculous behavior? (Asking because my friend's robotics team has a borderline cult around a skeleton and "orbs")

During my time on the team, not really, other than needing to eat gummy worms during the semi-finals if we made it. everytime we came close to establishing a religious cult like behavior the item of worship mysteriously disappeared

that being said our team did have what we referred to as The Bible in a thick ass 10+ year old paper-binder

#the binder isnt that old but the contents and spirit of it is #putting paper before binder because chest binders are a thing and im pretty sure everyone who's following me is queer #omgrobots #first robotics competition #frc #first robotics
