Night before ship date while working on robot...

Brian: "WHAT TIME IS IT!!"
Chris: "umm...about 8 PM"
Brian: "Oh good, 24 is on at 9 PM, I BETTER NOT MISS IT!"
Rest of team: "ummm...yeah" *continues working*

That was quite possibly the weirdest quote ever :P

"Could I hear the strategy? Please? I have more Kit Kat bars." - Myself, when the team apparently decided on a strategy while I was gone. The Kit Kat bars part is in reference to when I brought a box of candy to a meeting. You can only imagine the feeding frenzy that ensued.
