I think the most enjoyable for me was...

I had just designed our chassis in ISO on CAD and we were looking at it while building it...
Chino: Um, Zog, I think you drew it wrong.
:I grab it and flip it right side up:
Me: You're an idiot.

That was a good laugh for us all and if you really wanna know about the nicknames... go ahead and ask.

those are good so far.. but i've got a brilliant one.

one of my friends who is new to the team was online after i asked him to look up some of the rules for the chairmans award. while scrolling through the manual on the computer, he asked:

"What are Woody Flowers?"

needless to say i fell out of my chair and almost died. XD its written on the dry erase board in the room where we have most of our meetings as "Danny's Dumb Question of the Day" (we say that in jest lol) ...perhaps i'll post the picture i took of it later.

:p there are probably more from my team... i just never seem to be around when the funny stuff happens though! we keep a list of funny things that happen to people, and at the of all of the competitions (usually sometime around late april or may) we have a Team Party (usually a pool party) where the entire team gets together one last time. We have these things called "Who's who?"'s, and the party we all get together and read them, asking who did what. (thats kind of confusing so here is an example of a real one: "Who got a ticket in New York for jumping the subway turnstiles?" of which there were two answers, but i wont mention their names. (it wasnt their fault really... they were carrying a lot of stuff for competition and it couldnt fit through the turnstiles along with them...)) those are always amusting stories to tell and serve as great memorials for all of the fun things that happened while we were together.

This one is an old classic form our team:

Good enough for government work

someone yelling "FRESHMEN WITH A FILE" 30 seconds later a freshmen walks up with a file "hey it really works"

"rat tail files shouldn't be used as a pry bar" programmer after snapping a rat tail file. Mechanical person "You idiot your supposed to chuck it into a drill and use that to make filing go faster"

"The arm is programmed now mechanical has to build it to suit the program" A programmer theory that got shot down before he finished saying it.

This is another old classic from our team:
Fix it in software

Here's one software tried to start but for some reason didn't catch on
