"How long?"
"Deilio"
"The Enforcer"

Mentor gave a new twist to a very old saying:
"Quality, not suck!"

"This is OUR competitive advantage."

"Dance party mode!"

"[insert name here] broke the robot!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Mentor: "Do you realize that wins and losses mean NOTHING this year? I just found out that we have seeding point changes that disregard win-loss count!"

Student: "This is lunacy! Oh wait, that was last year."

but F was already pushing back by newton's third law...

Newton's third law of threats:
"anything you can do to me, I can do to you."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Programmer- Hey, Look at this Autonomus!
*robot moves 2 inches backwards*
Mentor- Nice. You know what would be even better than that?
Other Mentor - Anything.:D

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Not really a quote, but funny,....This year our robot will smell like a vacuum cleaner, due to a belt from a vacuum cleaner used to power part of the robot.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Teacher: Do you guys need me to bail yall out of jail?

Mentors: No, we made bail at 3. We are working on the robot again:D

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

said as the robot was up on its front end...
programmer: can i drop code now?
capitan: no, if you drop it now its just going to fall out!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Seems like there is a story behind this one......

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"PWM cables can be like wicks"

Our mentor chad after we told him we almost had a fire on our robot.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Yesterday, while packing the crate, we decided to let a few programming students handle it. They seemed to be lacking in drayage securement experience. After about thirty minutes of watching them fiddle around:

Mentor 1: "Geez guys; we could have packed it twice by now."
Mentor 2: "We could have driven it there by now!"

He was almost right (our labs is in Charlottesville and we're shipping to Richmond) :D

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

One of our members, pointing to the packet of grease that came in the kit asked, "Is that soy sauce? Why are we putting soy sauce on the robot?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

It is our first year, we worked till 10:30 on our robot today, but it is not finished (but close enough so we will finish at the event...) these are some of the quotes said today and yesterday, probably the most important to remember and not make the same mistake ever again, or they are just funny and will be laughed at in a few years when we look back.

Enjoy!

Me: "Guys... Next year we need to panic a week early..."

Teacher: "Umm guys, we are 0.25" too wide..."
Us: " Why the heck did no one measure it till today?!?!?!?"

Me: "We need to take this peaice off, its in the way of the un-widening proccess"
Mentor: " Well we can't use a saw so just drill 20 holes in a line where you would cut, I did that with a kitty door once..."

Me: "Guys this is the last electronic component to mount"
Me (5 minutes later): "O #$%@ guys I forgot the camera"
Me (1 hour later, while reading through the manual): O !@#$% forgot the RSL *Runs and gets it*

Someone: "So... umm... Zipties?"

Student: "It won't go in, its too tight"
Teacher: "It will wedge in, just hit it with a manualy actuated impact device"

Student: "How do we mount this?"
Teacher: *Picks up metal bands with holes* "This should work, it says 1001 uses!"
