During build season a person on our team was asked about what she thought about this years game. She said "I like it.." Then said "Never mind I don't like it.." Then said "Okay I do like it." and followed up with "You know I used to be indicisive but now I'm not so sure." :D

A teammate Kristi and I are standing near our pit at LI when a member of another team comes up and takes a picture of our robot while commenting to someone with him, "Wow, that's one hell of a robot."

At the time, the robot was like, completely broken, so Kristi and I are avoiding eye contact with each other in hopes that we won't crack up. After the guy leaves:

Me: "Wow. I wonder what that guy is on because [Ryan decides to start listening at this point] I want some of that!"
Ryan: "What, Joe?!"
Me: "No! Not Joe! Drugs! Drugs!!!"
Ryan: "Wow Joe, look at that. On Laura's list, you're second only to drugs."

Towards the end of the build season, one student was assebling something and needed an Allen wrench. When it was given to him, he asked if it was English or metric. The student who gave it to him said "Does it matter??" We haven't let him live that down yet.

At the end of the NYC Regional. As we were packing the robot and loading my car with bags a student came running to the pit and said: "umm... I think your car is getting a ticket!!"
BTW, I did get a ticket and I learned never to leave the car parked on a bus stop.
OK, this may not funny or anything but it's definitely something I'll remember.

oh, but here is one that is funny that was uttered at team 555's pit during NYC Regional:
"ok, take the casters off!!"
"no, no, put it back on!"
"alright, then... take it off"
"what? it's off? put it back on!!"
"fine, it should come off!"

Team 525 requests the assistance of team 217, The ThunderChickens!

::After much hesistation and furious head shaking by Paul Copioli, giving hand signals on the sideline::
"Little" Swando: um, I don't think so!

::After crowd gasps, Little walks away, then comes back to mic::
Little: ....Graciously.



That was definetly the best quote I heard. It was funny that as our team was talking about it in the bus were we stopped in michigan, guess who pulls up in there bus- none other then those unmistakable green shirts. I would like to add my friend stevie's quote there,
" why did the chickens cross the road........... to get to Burger King!" (had to be there)
