Myself: "I can't figure out how to attach this..."
Mentor: "How 'bout leather?"
Myself: "Well... I guess that would work.... Do we have any leather?"
Mentor 2: "I have a jacket at home..."
Myself: "Actually, we could just use my leather belt."
Mentor: "That won't be necessary, josh..."
Myself: "C'mon, I'd my drop my pants for science!"

Student: So how does this work again?
Mentor: We hunt them down and put our balls in them

"We need to take some of the rock out of our robot."
"can we keep the and/or roll?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

when asked if she would like to transport the robot or kids to a practice day my mom replied, "I AM DRIVING KIDS! i am willing to endanger the lives of kids but NOT the robot's!"
Mr. Weaver (head mentor)- "wow, this woman has her priorities straight!"

"Could you hand me the thingie?"
(used by one team member to refer to everything in the lab, yet we always know what she's talking about)

Programmer: "How many speeds do you want on the shooter motor?"
Mentor: "Why, I would like seven and a quarter speeds."

Everyone the moment a programmer walks into the lab: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no..."

3ds Max Animator: "Hey everyone, come check out my awesome static animation."

Student: "Aww, we're too heavy."
Mentor: "Wait a minute - the battery's in! That must weigh like 900 lbs!"

Student 1: "Where are the wire cutters?"
Student 2: "I think they're in the toolbox."
Student 1: "Really? Nothing's ever in the toolbox..."
Student 2: "This is true."

Me my first year drilling a hole with the drill spinning the wrong direction:
"Man, this Lexan is tough!"

We've been spending so much time at the lab recently, we now measure time in hours instead of days, as in:
Mentor: "Which sensor is plugged into this input, again?
Student: "I don't remember; we wired that eleven hours ago!"

Oh, and the platform on which we will mount the camera has officially been named the "peek-a-boo patio"...don't ask...

"My code is NEVER wrong!"

- said right before our autonomous mode failed

Our nicknames for the new electronics:
cRIO -> cry-o
Drivers station -> kiwibyte

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

me after a fellow team member face planted into our test platform: "oh no! lets make sure there isn't any Joel stuck in the robot."
Joel:" Oh sure, better make sure there's no bits of Joel in the robot, never mind if there's any bits of robot stuck in Joel!"

the other day Coach was looking for a small belt and he searched for 20 minutes straight, completely turning the room upside down....including the robot. He even walks to the other side the school to use the rest room. hes sitting down and looks at his leg and realizes its wrapped around his leg lol!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

This all happened during a tour we gave to kids from local elementary schools.

"Wow...That was really bright..." Kid on welding arc, after forgetting to flip down face shield.

"I don't have a daddy..." Kid after our team leader said the dewalt shifters we use are like the tools in your daddy's garage.

"Why did all the lights go out?" Kid on auto-darkening welding masks.

Finally a conversation about the lead-filled hammer we used to kick trackballs last year...

Smalls: "Yeah...this hammer is pretty heavy, we filled it with lead"
Kid: "Lead?"
S: "Uh...Yeah?"
K:"Lead Lead?"
S:"Yeah, like the element, I didn't really think there was any other kind..."
K :"Like Element 82 Lead?"

(Note: The periodic table memorizing prodigy is also the kid who forget to flip down the visor of his welding mask AFTER RECIEVING EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION)
Kid probably should have learned about the effects of UV rays before the periodic table.

"Hey Mike, guess what, Mr. Shinta (club advisor) just banned "thats what she said"!"
(its sexual harrasment guys)

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

So now that we only have 6 days left until the Kickoff, everyone's brains are getting more and more fried. There have definitely been more, but these are a few from our collection...

"Ducks make duck feet." From dinner one night, during a discussion of "real" Chinese food.

"The robot's like a lamprey; it doesn't kill you, just sucks you dry." Tonight, during the first of seven days in a row when we have robotics (until Ship Date).

"How did you measure that?"
"With my favorite geometric theorem,"
"What's that?"
"The Eyeball Theorem..."
Also from tonight.

Programing Mentor: "Good, it did nothing, like it was supposed to do."
Me: "What did it do last time?"
Mentor: "Crash."

Me: "Ok, time to suck some balls."

insert every ball sucking quote ever HERE

Programmer to Max Goodwin (a.k.a. Sunshine!): "Dont let me ever catch you playing with that dongle!"
