Hmm...got some from our post regional get-together (me, Ryan, Jared, and Dave from 1115).
"Halaba halaba halaba" (yes I know that is from SNL) to describe the little kid things after playing Halo all night.

"Is that oil in an IV?" While watching Airplane II

“Thingything”

Throughout the season everything got called a thingything on our team. Its made me so much less articulate but it was fun.
:]


And for me there was the constant "Go MOE... *FURY people give me evil looks* I mean FURY!"

"Turn it on!!" - After our human player and controler forgot to turn the robot on for our first ever FIRST practice round at peachtree regionals..... I think like its now our team motto....

"Let's make our Robot out of antimatter, so whenever we touch anyone else they get sent into another dimension" - Phillip

*few minutes pass*

"Hey, instead of only being antimatter, let's make it a hovercraft as well, cause it'll look good" -Phillip again

"Kyle, what are you smoking"
"These LEDs"
This was said in the hotel room at the Annapolis regional when Kyle decided to try and make a glowing team number at 10:30.

The old standard:
It dosn't fit!
Get the bigger hammer!

This is sorta a story but there is Quotes in it....

After some people from my team and myself went to see the movie "the core" which was the funnest/stupidest movie ever, we went to Arbys to eat after the movie and since we have all seen "Super troopers" I asked the lady at the counter for "A liter or cola" and she asked i i meant a large, the other people with me were laughing. We all got our food and we at down and somehow got talking about some restaurant a few of us stoped at on the way home from Rutgers that was serving "Freedom fries". Well at Arbys I got the smart idea that I should ask for some "Freedom fries" I went to the counter while my friends were laughing and asked for the fries the lady at the counter had no idea what i was talking about, but a lady in the back herd me and almost yelled " We have FRENCH FRIES and curly fries, no Freedom Fries" i think she got a little mad but. it was really funny.

My favorite was when team one of the guys of 182 said to me...

"Oh My God the autonomous worked"

Good Luck to everyone at the invitationals.

Wow we are wierd
These are all from today.

"I was Japaneese. once"
"You may have won but I am still master of the Wa"
"I can see you loud and clear"

No explinations you can ponder these.

"oh my gosh! matt, i'm gonna kill you!!"

"the duck flies at midnight!"

"i gotta pee!"

In line for lunch at Houston......"Ahhh man!!!, there's no more Pizzzza!!!-some kid


On the way down to Houston..."Watch your elbows watch you knees. Watch your elbows watch your knees. Watch your elbows Watch your knees."-flight attendent

From the Kickoff..."Life just isn't fair."....I think that was Woody.

Paraphrase of many many quotes:
What's wrong with the robot now?
What do you think?
Oh, programming...

What's going on? Why doesn't the robot work?
*checks for power for OI*
I wish people weren't stupid.

There's a whole lot of frozen ice here!

Dying causes death...

I was the programmer for our bot this year. As a result I have heard almost every line anyone could think of.

A few of my favorites that people have said to me are.

"Why did the robot not work? Greg Check you're programming"
"STOP STOP STOP"
"Greg, I can build the whole robot by myself faster then you can program"
"That wasen't a limit switch that was the programming"
"Load the double wack program"
"Hey good job Greg, it actually worked"
"Greg, what were you thinking, you changed the wrong variable"
"OMG, you made a Var. Byte a Var. Word"
"Before we start tearing this thing apart, make sure the programs right"
"Greg, you should rename that program, 71RunIntoWall"

A few that I have said
"Who would have known that 254 on the right side was to much"
"Where's my plugger"
"Who messed with my program"
"Mike, hows it feel to have my program drive better then you"
"Let me get a debug real quick"
"Know thats what I call programming"
"P-basic, P-basic, we don't need to stinking P-basic"

I know that you guys that arn't programmers are probably confused on some of these. These are meant for those of you that are programmers. Those of you that are probably have heard the same things, or something similar.

Good Luck to everyone at the invitationals

If only I had a dollar for everytime I did a demo and had a conversation like this:

-- What is that???? Is that a Battlebot???

-- No.

-- Well why not? You should build a Battlebot.

I'd be a millionaire. We had a demo today with about 9 robotics teams in the LA area, the croud was getting anxious, so we started battling each other. I am proud to say I have a good sized chunk of 696 that we took off.

And before this thread bursts into flames, it wasn't our idea.

Delaware is The FIRST State ... Learn It
 

Delaware was the first state in the Union but many people from other parts of the country dont recognize its statehood. This can be best illustrated in the following conversion between me and a person at nationals:

Person: "So where is your team from?"
Me: "Delaware."
Person: "Delaware? What state is that in?"

After that I should have told them
"In Pennsylvania, right near Philly."

Conversations like these are not rare. Obviously building a robot doesnt require a basic knowledge of US geography, but i thought a high school education did. Didnt these people have to memorize states and capitals in grade school?
