Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

So this is one of the conversations I had with my student.

her: Where is the robot Travis? Is it still at Mr. _____ class?
Me: What did you just say?!
her: Where is the robot?!?! I don't see it here!
Me: Why don't you look down and see what you're holding on to.
her: Oh crap! Forgot it was this! It looks like a table!

So apparently our robot looks like a table :( - Back to the drawing board!

"This code shouldn't have been working!"
"I've been hearing that WAY too much recently."

"We just spent two hours on a problem that fixed itself?"

Several programmers, including me, started singing "Don't Unplug Me" by ALL CAPS today. It was fun, but not a quote. Just crazy.

"You have to admit, the minibot flying off the pole was pretty friggin' cool. Really, too hip for words"

Everyone: Where is the pole? It was here a minute ago!

Me: *notices pole resting on table*

Everyone: *searches frantically*

Mentor: *picks up pole by table* Found it.

Students: I thought it was part of the table!

Me: I noticed it, but I thought it was too obvious so I didn't think it was the one you were looking for.

The room we were working in has a door that only opens from the inside, so when anyone wants to enter, someone has to open the door for him or her. When B and I (I being me, not the letter I) were heading back after a snack, the following scenario occurred.

B: The door is closing! Run!

Me: *takes running step, trips over own feet, nearly falls down steps*

B: I will never tell you to run again.

Alright, I have got a few good 'quotes'
Number 1:
Team Leader: "Why isn't there a J22 on the sidecar?"
Me: "Maybe that's why it isn't working right"
Mentor: "No crap thats why it's not working right, where the HELL is the J22?!"

Number 2:
"I see what you did there"

Number 3:
Kid A: "Stop fondling the manipulator!"
Kid B: "Yeah, we don't fondle your Jaguars!"
