The day of a 60's themed semi formal a student arrives to robotics wearing a vest.

Teacher: Why are you wearing that now?

Student: Its a teaser for tonight.

From today:

Programmers: It must be a mechanical issue.

Engineers/Mechanics: Well, maybe you should look over the code again.

"Well that's a programming problem"
"Well that's a drivetrain problem"
"Well that's a fabrication problem"
"Well that's an electrical problem"

All said by me, in my never ending quest to shirk responsibilty.

Coach: "So it's a software problem?" (referring to two motors being inverted)
Me: "Well, it can be fixed in software, but..." (glancing at a teammate busy with a screwdriver) "...it's already being fixed in hardware, so we're okay."

"..and 'O' stands for 'Owesomeness'"

"Red lights are okay?" [on the Jaguar]
"Well, solid red is okay; that's full reverse."
"What about flashing?"
"Fast flashing is just partial reverse."
"And slow flashing?"
"Fault condition...."

I wrote a simulation of a robot (with holonomic drive) moving around and grabbing a ball.

Later:
Me: "So, do we have lasers on the robot?"
Coach: "...no..."
Me: "Do the balls try to escape?"
Coach: "I don't think so."
Me: "I may have outdone myself on this simulation."
