"This isn't your father's science fair" ;)

I can't, I have robotics

That's pretty much been my motto for the past six years.

As for my personal favorite FIRST saying, I was always partial to "Got SPAM?"

"We put the fun in disfunctional "

-Don't you have a social life?
"FIRST is my social life."

Soda + Pizza = Robot

:D

Wetzel

"look at the screw from the nuts perspective" - Chris Carnevale

or

"pull out! its too big!" (refering to bolts too big for holes)

*shakes head*
Want him back?
:p ;) :D




Just kidding, I don't think we could function without Chris. He's the man. Plus, he provides hours and hours of amusement.

edit: "It made sense in my head before I said it!" /edit

"a robots diet includes many many speed holes!" a quote from this past build season when we weighed our bot and it showed up as 130.5 lbs

also there is the famous "It's not a problem, it's a feature!"

~Mike

My team might actually be able to take credit for this one.... SWEET!!
And it actually starts out with a hearty yell of, "Hey, Do you like pants?" You tend to get a few stares, then you start the forementioned chorus.

Anyways, There is the old classic, "We'll fix it in programming."

I know...my first two suggestions were weak. So I'm making up for it here. :)

Take a look at the CD Spotlight if you haven't already. There are a ton of great quotes in there.

One of my favorites, from Matt Leese: "If it's not on fire, it's a software problem. "

*grinds axe* I HATE THAT........

Another favorite of my team...well at least me

"Hey didn't we have another piston on this side?"

"Inch by Inch, we're going metric." -Dean Kamens

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE DUCT TAPE?!?!?" -me

"We really need a food sponsor..." -me

"Oops." -any rookie

but of course, top 10 FIRST lies:

"Yeah, we'll be ready for inspection."
"Our robot works fine!"
"Yes, that was an accident on the field."
"We'd never ram MOE."
"It's not my fault, I did it the right way!"
"Yes I'm a freshman. No I didn't get metal shavings in the electronics."
"I meant to do that."
"Our robot is ready!"
"We only need a minute to fix it."
"No, I don't know the prancing mascot."

Our team thing is "Feel the burn of Spicy Mustard" but I don't know if that'd qualify for a catch phrase for FIRST...
