Last night, while we were cleaning the lab:

Student: "I finished mopping half the floor."
Mentor: "So, uh, which half did you mop?"

FIRST is trying to change the culture. Let us start by making it grammatically correct. For example, the title of this thread should be "Quotations" that were said during build season and not This change needs to be made because to quote is a verb, but this title needs a noun .

A note: since this thread currently doesn't have a correct title, I don't need to follow its instructions.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

I believe that's why the word is in quotation marks. The quotations are colloquially referred to as "Quotes", and thus the thread becomes more recognizable as a thread for amusing banter.

Team: Mr. Kelly, a seagull just crapped on your head!
Mr. Kelly: I guess it's good luck.

The next day Mr. Kelly won the Woodie Flowers award.


Here's another one.
Josh: Did you know that if you lick a gummy bear and throw it, it will stick to a wall?
The next day I said: Josh did you know that if you left a gummy bear stuck to the wall over night, it will peel the paint off?
The hotel loved us for that one.

Mentors: Ok, lets tether the robot and run a function test
me: Alright...
*powers on robot*
Mentors: Hey! whats taking so long!
me: sorry, it takes like 40 seconds to connect, give it a minute
*motors go full forward*
me: Hey! i think its connected....

Or there was an embarrassing one on the field.

So we were waiting for all the robots to connect. and ours wasnt. So we reset our DS and still didn't connect. They reset the field and told us to turn off our robots... Well.... lets just say the field wasn't happy when i said

"OH! theres the problem! i forgot to plug in the radio!!" :D

"During competition, everything that can and cannot go wrong will go wrong." -- I've had to say this at least once a year, every year, since I was in 6th grade in FLL. It seems that we always have new problems develop, or problems that seem more like freak accidents than anything else, things that simply cannot go wrong, at competitions. It was upheld this year, when a vex remote battery somehow got bits of its leads stripped, and it shorted out and leaked inside our controller, minutes before a match at the vex world championship.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

(when we arrived at the hotel in atlanta)
sabrina: "hey guys, you might wanna come see the bed."
danielle: "what do you mean, the bed?"
me: "bed, as in the singular form? like, one bed?"
sabrina: "yes. bed. one king-sized bed. for the three of us."

(thursday night, at the team meeting)
mr. k: "so we'll have three freshmen joining the chairman's meeting. shaffy, mickey, and michelle."
me: "nooo!"
mr. k: "this is a good thing, michelle."
me: "but i'm tired and i got 3 hours of sleep because danielle kept me up because aaron and dobbs and peveler were next door watching the movie and we were on facebook and then there was the cockroach but it was really chocolate matzoh and there was only one bed for the three of us and they never gave us a cot and can i at least change into my pajamas first?"
mr. k: "uh, sure. you can wear pajamas."

Those I remember from the past couple years:

Alex: Hey Yoo!
*I look up*
Alex: Not "You" you, "Yoo" you.
I knew exactly what he meant, too.

From a sign that was up for most of 07-08:
"Stuffed Animals are friends and erasers!

Not a quote, but just the same:
A student on our team throws a hackeysack across the room, aiming for a friend (I forget why her friend was being targeted), but misses and hits an unsuspecting rookie in between them on the side of the face. After the commotion dies down and our teacher figures out what happened, he proceeds to give the rookie the hackeysack and then hold a whiteboard behind the student who threw the sack.
