After I come home from LA

Dad: I thought you were the runners up
Me: We were

"I'd be nicer if I had sleep but since i haven't, keep every one away form me and nobody dies."

me to my co-captain:

my favorite:
"anyone who wants to get duct taped and tortured touch the joystick while i have my hand in this robot" (random team member) "he's not lying he did that to me last year"

-Tim, our driver and build team member

"oops now that wasnt suppose to happen"

a brief excerpt from the conversation w/ many people when i fried the OI and the begining of this year

GregTheGreat 22-05-2003 23:13

"OMG the victor, the drill motor, we can't do anything right!"

I am not mentioning what team said that to me, but they know who they are. lol

E. The Kidd 22-05-2003 23:43

We have nothing to lose, if we break there's always tomorrow, and if we don't win I'm blaming your driving.

-Me to our Driver when we were partners with 71 in the Curie division (great match guys)

Some 1073 Favorites....
 
And now... some rookie favorites.

"It's a mechanical problem."--control subteam

"When all else fails, blame it on controls"--design subteam

"CLAMP! CLAMP! CLAMP! CLAMP!" -- In response to another "battle cry" at the Granite State Regional

"Guys.... who has the controls....?" -- Janice (Strategy Mentor) while watching our prototype bot drive towards the wall under it's own sentient control. This was followed by 3 students leaping to their feet, and chasing it across the gym lobby.

"Widget!"

"Lefty-loosy, righty...oww!!"

"Just FORCE it" -- The unnoficial team motto

"Time circuts and orange juice" -- Jeff

"This... is a bot. Soon it will be a was-bot, but now it is an is-bot. When we finish the real bot, the is-bot will be a was-bot and the will-bot will be the is-bot." -- Various Controls members walking to the Gym Lobby to test the prototype.

"It's the ghost of the Prototype!" -- a common phrase after the runaway robot episode.

"Help! I glued my hand to the robot!"

Mark Pierce 23-05-2003 16:47

"Your brother must be God!"
 
This apparently was told to my brother Rick (referring to me).

As I understand it the conversation went like this:

Team 1164 (thanking him for sharing his engineering skills): "Rick, you must have been sent from Heaven..."

Rick: "No, my brother sent me." (This part is true, I did tell him about the team starting up down the street from him.)

Team 1164: "Then your brother must be God." (Not even close to being right)

I think it's kind of a cool thank you to get from a team on the other end of the country. I'm glad that I could help.

Lil Lisa 23-05-2003 22:09

Our FIRST engineer upon finding out that 573 (which originally was an all-guys team due to the fact that Brother Rice is an all-guys school) was accepting girls from Rice's sister school, and seeing me in the pits during the OCCRA season...

::Points at me:: "Yay! It's a girl!"

:D

BBFIRSTCHICK 24-05-2003 20:29

weird one
 
this was a weird one but one day out of many work days a teammate of mine came over and said
" I need to work, but I really have to pee"
I then looked at her with a "what" face
she then asked
"Can I use the bathroom"
I begin to crack up
"ya.... go"

shyra1353 25-05-2003 22:43

this is kinda a story, but its still funny

we were at the airport on the way to nationals and we decided to take a team picture. so of course everyone gives their camera in to get a picture on it. one of our mentors picked up a camera (which just happenned to be mine) and tried to take a picture with it. and he was like "it's not working" so everyone was like "turn the camera around", because it was backwards. and then he turned it around, and was like, "its still not working" and everyone was like "open the shutter" it took him a while, but he finally got it.

you might not find it funny, but it was really funny at the time, and when i brought my camera to school the other day, we were all laughing at that.

Alaina 26-05-2003 00:15

If you've ever seen 814's bot, you'll get this a little better...
This is from the robotics party the team had yesterday:

Mr Gant: Hey, you guys...I dare you to build a wooden bot next year.
Greg: Mr Gant, find a conductive wood and we'll use it for wiring.

Ryan Dognaux 28-05-2003 00:21

I just remembered this one...

David Kelly: "(in reference to animation) Are you gonna get it done in time?"

Me: "I'll have something ready."

Kimberley Roode 28-05-2003 19:30

there's a chance someone from my team has already posted this, but seeing as its not too plausible to go through 11 pages of quotes, i'll just say it.

during lunch at the rutgers regional, about 6 members of our team went to some fast food restaurant to grab something to eat. it was a few blocks away, so we walked. on our way, a parked truck driver sees our (really, really bright) hawaiian shirts and asks if we're on a team or something. we go through a quick explanation, and one girl says, and im paraphrasing: "we build robots that kill people, except without the killing people part." i think we might've scared him a little.

Beth Sweet 28-05-2003 20:57

My favorite quotes from our team this season would have to be "sneaker", "poke", "where's the bot?", "goodnight for the twelfth time", and that strange noise that only Jackson can make.:yikes: Also "where's mrs. rumble?" after we accidently left her at the houston airport

soap108 29-05-2003 07:19

not sure if this got mentioned yet...
 
"I know to everybody it looked like they were up there, but they were not up there." -Announcer Ron P.

"Unfortunately, no one can be... told... what FIRST is... You must see/experience it for yourself.




"Don't try to bend the shaft... that's impossible. Rather, try to realize the truth..."

"What truth?"

"There is no shaft."


Sorry, saw Reloaded 6 times :cool:

Got matrix on the mind.

EddieMcD 01-06-2003 19:30

One from yesterday's Mayhem:

"I was wondering why our robot wasn't working, then I realized that it helps if it has a battery." -Moe from 88

E Jones 234 02-06-2003 07:26

a new favorite quote:
my robot! :ahh:

xavior06 02-06-2003 08:16

upon testing the the practice ramp in the pits at houston,

"CLEAR THE RAMP!!"

note: only a couple times were people's lives in danger.

Mike M. 09-09-2003 20:49

"They'd be wrong"
everybody on 126 should know what i'm talking about

BandChick 12-09-2003 15:22

I'm so surprised no one on 1089 or even anyone on 25 has posted this, but the quote of the season was:

"Have you ever seen a purple monkey?"
- Christopher Gregory (1089 Advisor)

EddieMcD 12-09-2003 16:27

"I started reading, was like wow, look at the old folks delurking, then suspicious, looked at the date and wondered what n00b was reading all the posts ever and dug this one up. I surprised when I saw it was you." -Wetzel (responding to Brandon's bump of an old post in Chit-Chat)

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Sachiel7 14-09-2003 17:32

I remember a couple of these statements:

(Upon arriving the first day) "Hey guys! Um...wheres the Lift?"

"oops"

"THAT wasn't supposed to happen :("

"Um... Is there a good reason it's not moving?"

"Ok, let me get this straight, the auto mode worked in testing EVERY time? Even though it hasn't worked ONCE on the field???"

(from the team we accidentally tipped) "Hey man, don't do that again, K?"

(to our alliance partner in-game after we flipped onto our back):
"hehe..I think youre on your own..."

And the most popular quote (no words):

:confused:

josh_johnson 15-09-2003 19:56

"And team 1020's robot, looking like the guts of a washing machine."
-announcer at St. Louis

"I wasn't watching the robot, i just thought i would let go of the [autonomous mode] button, when I heard the screaming"
-a team member while testing the autonomous mode program
At the time, we were trying to get the robot up the ramp in auionomous mode with a 4 ft. wide ramp and he kept realeasing the button before it got to the ramp because he was afraid that it mould go flying off the side. He finally decided to close his eyes so that he wouldn't chicken out (without telling the rest of us ahead of time).

While reading the rules about the St. Louis regional:
"No foreign objects allowed in the stadium."
-Amanda
"Sorry Shrutish, you can't come."
-me

John JediMaster 16-09-2003 19:53

at nationals during one of our matches when we were setting up our bot (it starts on it's side) for autonomous mode. The anouncer says "you guys sure you don't want to put in on the ground?" then our pumatics start.

John JediMaster 16-09-2003 19:56

at nats in the pits I was doing some scouting and I heard over the PA system "Team (I can't remember what team) wants to knot if anyone has a flux capacitor" That cracks me up to this day.
