Sorry to revive a dead thread but...

"Is it moving? Yes. Should it be moving? No. Answer: MORE TAPE!"
"Is it moving? No. Should it be moving? Yes. Answer: MORE OIL!"

We bought our head mentor a flag that says that. We hang it in the pits at competition

"If it doesn't work with force, you're not using enough force".

Not to be confused with The Force, though with correct use it can be a great tool in engineering.

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works.
Practice is when everything works bu no one knows why.
On our team we combine theory and practice, nothing works, and no one knows why.

We seem to follow the idea of "Measure twice, cut three times". Cause you know, if you didn't get right the first time, you probably won't quite get it the second time, and maybe you got it by third.

Along the same lines

"brute force, if it ain't workin, you aren't usin enough of it" (lack of proper spelling necessary)

A classic

"Duct tape is like the force, it has a light side and a dark side and it binds the universe together."

Here on T3, we have a Safety Captain. The Safety Captian walks around our shop with a hard hat (covered in sparkles and sequins) saying, "That's not very safe!"

Thus, an engineering slogan; That's not very safe!

This came up in my spotlight today, and I wanted to add one more line...
