KA-108 :cool:

"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.

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

a new favorite quote:
my robot! :ahh:

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.

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

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)

"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.

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:

"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

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.

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.
