Listening to the announcer at GKC regional:
"Team #### is trying to hang themselves!"
:o oof

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

I'm tired and laying on our bump mockup.

Me: On scale of 1-10, how lazy do I look?
Tassi: 10 being highest?
Me: Yeah
Tassi: 11

Even better, I've got a laptop with me. Still laying down though. So I was actually working...I think

From one really annoying kid (which we have a quote book for):


26 inches? Thats two feet! (bakers dozen, er, foot!)

Get your fake baloney lies outta here!

Why do you have a Mexican skull on your shirt?

Bulletproof? Are you taking us down to some gang fight or something? (our battery case is bulletproof, irony: we ARE going to Cleveland...)

Jolly Rancher green apple flavored pop.

Why would we pass out buttons? We're not trying to get elected.

Those are buttons? I thought they we're poker chips.

Whats a raffle? (we had a raffle for a lawnmower fundraiser)

people are going to be really mad they didn't win, and want their money back. (after raffle explanation)

otherKid, why do you have so many balls? Can you share one? (they were playing with the ball return mech)

I put chocolate syrup on my donuts.

I can't hang myself!

Install a laser cannon!

Said while in the car on the way to NJ, down the street from the arena:

1: If we got out of the car right now and started walking, they'd probably think were a gang

2: What would be our gang name?

1: 0's and 1's

"So guys are we naming the robot dead-weight?"

"Hey guys, do you think we could win the best paperweight award?"

We had connection issues all weekend... We would stay connected throughout AUTO and then drop 2 seconds after TELE started. Was sooo demoralizing.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

We named our robot LongShot. :D

Actual comment from our Java program:

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Our robot is the Cardiologist (we have a doctor theme)

In our code, when we were writing get functions, we included
GetMoney()
GetALife()
and GetWellSoon()

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Standing in the pits looking at the robot:
Jim: "What should we do now?"
Tim: "Paint the claw yellow?"

"Where's Frizzle?"
"He's in the CAD room eating cream puffs"
(We say this every time Eric "Frizzle" Y is gone)

"...(looking for something wrong in the right transmission).....Frizzle must have not tightened the shifter nut enough... Where is he? In the CAD room eating cream puffs?.... Maybe we broke the dog gear?.....OH s*** WE LOST LOW GEAR..f***." ~Jim on how the lack of grease in the transmission led to a low gear with no teeth. The teeth were just... gone. We fixed it during lunch and all was well.

(team member holds up a bolt used for pinning pneumatics after we'd sent him to find a shorter one) "What's the technical term for this?"
me: "a BOLT?!?"

(The game announcer, cleaning up after a newbie EMCEE.)

"That't not team 15, that's the game timer"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

On the way home from Traverse City:
Mallory (Millory) (narration-style): "On my way back from winning the Spirit Award, I wondered if we got in a car accident if the award would pierce my heart....just like FIRST."

Chairman's highlights:
"We believe that the message of FIRST should be spreadable, just like butter"
"When we went to our first event, we just couldn't believe it's not competition"
"FIRST, to an outsider, may seem like it's just about the robots. However, if you take a look at the ingredients, it's clear that it's really made up of coopertition, gracious professionalism, learning, and frienship"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Team lead: "This is a ghetto robot. And we're white."
...
Same team lead: "The robot should be called G-Thuggin'. It's just that ghetto."
...
Same team lead: "WHO TOLD THE PRESS THAT THE ROBOT'S NAME WAS ACTUALLY G-THUGGIN'?"

So apparently that's the robot's name this year. *facepalm*
