Someone in my robotics event named their robot grumbot and they started talking about mustaches so i'm pretty sure it was intentional. will ipdate with how well they are doing once i am sure it is a reference.

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

Any other FRC kids here? All the FRC posts I see are from last year. I can’t be the only one.

For fun I just scrolled through the Reddit graveyard and found the FRC Reddit Community. They are so technical. Like, they’re talking about strategies and sponsors and stuff. Meanwhile over here we are throwing around game pieces, exploding robots, and starting cults.

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

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!

Why do half of the FRC people look like malnourished twinks who drink monster energy. And all the FTC people look like children

Non-FRC kids will never know of the time where a stadium of high-schoolers chanted "water game" (an FRC in-joke), however the organizers misheard it and were really confused why everyone was chanting "watergate".

Robot brainstorming? Studying the rule book? Prioritizing game play elements?

I HAVE NOT WATCHED THE KICKOFF VIDEO YET I AM A DISGRACE TO MY ROBOT FAMILY

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

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!”

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

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.

Thought I got used to it
There are PLO flags all over
I'm trying to contain myself
In a world where you can be anything, some people choose to be nazis
