Robot Design
"The wings were designed to break. It is a quick break-away design feature"

Anouncer after our robot broke and became immoblie at the bottom of ramp in Archemedies match 123
"GeroniMOE is guarding the ramp"
"GeroniMOE lying in wait"
"Now GeroniMOE. They are just in a good postion, there're blocking WildStang"

"You just volunteered yourself!"

I said this so many times that there was a point when people asked me if I could do something and all I had to do was look at them, and they would say it for me!

5 minutes before rushing to the field
"Ummm, guys, i think we have a problem..nothing on the robot is working, the lights arent even blinking. i checked all the wiring and made sure that the switch was on."....."Dude, look around, notice anything missing?" - pause - "ohh, yeah, it might need one of those (battery)"

ditto


"I dreamed of nuts and bolts last night,"

Hey, did you guys ever get the "trophy" that they said they were going to send you? :D

The announcer Don Knight (1011 loves you btw!) at the Arizona Regional when CRUSH, team 1011 was first to hit the wall of bins during autonomous mode in a match:

"Look at that, a rookie taking down the wall!"

"I build robots"

They'll be sending it soon.

my saying, for almost any situation

"Is that a challenge?"

my current favorite quote has to be attributed to Carlo... who tried it on everyone... even the ticket lady at The Pond.

"I build Robots.... does that turn you on?"

Anything relating to Tippy the Wonder-bot. Especially jakes song (using the theme from weird al's Harvey the Wonder Hampster)

and of course the great pins we made with eachothers names on them... for example...

"Hi my name is Ducky and I build robots.... HUG ME."

PS-never leave MOE people un-supervised with the Button Makers... hint hint.... AMAN!!!

Carlos quote works like a charm, it worked for him at the pond
it worked with the lady at the smoothy stand at six flags, coco and i got a discount on our drinks,
and dont for get "HI my name is Kyle and I build robots.....HUG me."
that also worked really well.. :)

A memorable quote from the Pittsburgh Regional:

"where is our robot?"

Andy B.

After a match in VCU the annoncer saying

"WHO WANT'S TO SEE THAT AGAIN?"

talking about sparky going up the ramp in the last 3 seconds.

We all have build season sayings.

That rejected cartoon video added many to some teams

"My spoon is too big"

"I am a banana"

But all the usual stand bys.

"If it was easy I would have done it"

"What twisted mind decided we have TWO more days until we ship!"

"now thats a new failure mode"

And one of my fav's from last year

"Stokely, the robot won't turn left!
Well, turn right a lot then"
