#robotics problems

Yesterday I was using a lathe for like two hours and today I sneezed and I think it was 90% aluminum shavings

So torn

That moment when you get super excited because one of your favorite TV shows decides to include robotics as an activity to help get viewers into STEM, but then heartbroken because they didn’t do their full research on the names of parts and because they’re mixing vex, FTC, and FRC all together at once 😅

Sidenote: still SUPER pumped robotics is being promoted on a show like that though, even if those of us over involved with it beforehand know there are a few technical errors

I hate the administrative side of robotics

I keep finding little metal shavings everywhere and I've already pulled three splinters out of my hands This is what I get for spending like 6 hours working on the robot today

Someone save me from this senior kid who took over electronics he’s driving me up the wall.

Like seriously if I read something off THE MAP, as a functioning individual, I DON’T CARE HOW MUCH OF A PERFECTIONIST YOU FRICKING ARE

LET ME DO MY FRICKING JOB

OKAY SO I WASN’T HERE FOR MOST OF THE DAY IM FINE WITH YOU DOING ALL THIS STUFF AND FINISHING IT GREAT JOB WOO YAY YOU BUT I FRICKING CAME HERE TO PROVE MYSELF AS THE ASSET MY TEAMMATES SEEMED TO THINK I WAS

DO YOU REALIZE HOW FRUSTRATING THIS IS THAT RIGHT WHEN I GET WHAT IM DOING SOMEONE ELSE COMES IN AND TAKES OVER

AS I WAS SAYING I WAS READING SOMETHING OFF A MAP AND YOU TRIED TO SAY OK LET ME SEE AND I SHOWED YOU AND SAID IT CONNECTS HERE TRACING WITH MY FINGER AND EVERYTHING AND STILL YOU TRIED TO LOOK AT IT YOURSELF

"JUST MAKING SURE"

I AM THE ELECTRONICS STUDENT LEADER YOU, KID, SHOULD LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY BECAUSE OF THAT YOU ARE IN NO HIGHER POSITION JUST BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN ON THE TEAM LONGER

AND NO

WE ARE NOT THE ELECTRONICS “DREAM TEAM” YOU ARE YOUR OWN DREAM TEAM BECAUSE ALL I DO WHEN YOURE DOING STUFF IS SIT THERE EATING CHEETOS FORCING MYSELF INTO A GOOD PERSPECTIVE BY CALLING YOU A PEASANT FOR DOING ALL THE WORK FOR ME

NOW I HAVE TO GO SEE THE ROBOT WORK THERE WILL PROBABLY BE MORE YELLING LATER
