Ya know, I barely posted here during build season or during comp, but my team just went to a district competition and we’re not making it to the championships

It feels. Bittersweet to say the least. I genuinely did not think this would be my last competition as a student, but it was.

Here’s to the end of an entire chapter of my life I guess T-T

I lied lmao I’m at worlds

Anyone wanna trade shirts??

Watching the Integrity splash down from the field of a district robotics competition was truly a magical experience

Missing the integrity splash down because i was too focused on folding cranes for a custom keychain service was a magical experience

I may have just experienced like. One of the experiences ever????

When my mentor was showing me a video on their phone, they decided to just blast it at full volume (PUBLIC INDOORS AT A PANERA BREAD BTW.) And instead of like, holding it up or perhaps allowing the device to safely lay on a flat surface, they slid it onto the table.

The phone just slipped off the table like it too was beyond exhaustion and I think if it participated in the Winter Olympics it would be noted for how elegantly and yet soullessly it flew off the table. There was poetry to be found in there somewhere.

Anyways, I looked down at the cellular device on the floor and back up at my mentor who was just staring with this blank expression of resignation and despair.

I was a teenager wearing a gay lab coat (it’s gay because it had pride pins) surrounded by other teenagers wearing gay lab coats in a public facility fumbling to pick up a phone that was blasting something like

OH JACKSON THIS DOORFRAME IS ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE THSI IS THE MOST AZIMF THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME!!! (<—- the video was about a cat obsessed with doorframes)

While the responsible adult was just kinda standing there presumably having collapsed under it all

Pretty great first comp I think

Trying something to get the rookies to actually comment their code.

At FTC. The mechanical sub team is doing open-heart surgery on the robot.

There are metal shavings all over the mass produced vinyl tables

The programmers have been left in the trenches

Being a programmer is really funny because people will look at a line like

Print(“eeeyikes this motor is too hot just like me hueheheh”);

Or motors named “PeanitsOverdrive” and “ThrustMaster” (actually happened)

And they’ll look at us like we’re genius computer masterminds who understand the Secret Language Of The Machine

Myths and epics are passed down across generations to preserve the values, wishes and fears of a culture. It is my duty as a robotics senior to pass down the legendary water game joke to the incoming freshmen.
