our tried and true excuse for slacking off...

Me: "Avery, carry the punishment box!" (Said at a fundraiser where we sold delicious foodstuff. Avery, one of our members, decided to slack off, come in late, and be unable to sell a danish. We filled a box with heavy things like huge Gatorade bottles, and the punishment box was born!)
Allan/Valence "AGH, what the heck is this FROSTING?!?" (Cupcakes of death. 'Nuff said.)
Miguel: "You should know about Africa, you like tigers!"
Me: ".....grrr." (Tigers DO NOT LIVE IN AFRICA. Just sayin'.)

The Nutella container looked like fireworks ::rtm::

"This won't fire. You've got two air pipes going to a single-acting piston. All the air goes out the one that's not connected."

"Well, let's put a closed safety valve on one and try it."

Later...

"This still doesn't work. Your system will never retract; I'm not firing the pneumatics right now but the pistons are stuck in the out position. The force of the internal springs can't overcome the force of the air."

"Can't you retract a single-acting pneumatic piston by dumping all of the air that's forcing the piston into the out position?"

"...so remind me where we're dumping the air now. Is it into the piston, or is it into the closed safety valve?"



"Hey, look! Instead of completely redesigning and starting from scratch, you took my very simple advice and applied it to make the system incrementally better, and now it works! Who would have thought?"

Me: Whats that smell?
Dave: Something is burning
Me: Hm..... *rushes to turn off the bot*
Dave: Try it again
Me: *turns it on* woah...the wiring on the Jag is reversed
Jim: And there goes the Jag...

After that, we had problems for the rest of the day with the cRio and the DLink

Dave: "The McDonalds guy was happy when I told him we wanted 20 double cheeseburgers and 20 small fries for teenagers."

He brought McDonalds. It's brought the entire student body at the meeting together more than once ;)

Some random student: "Did you go through the drive through?"
That student got dirty looks.

Every year, someone wants to learn about pneumatics, and every year that someone gets the same response:

"Pneumatics are very simple; they suck and they blow."

While we were trying to get our minibot working:

Me: We need Xinyu's cookies.
Head Mentor: What?
M: I said we need Xinyu's cookies.
HM: Oh, sorry. I thought you said we should $@#$@#$@#$@# on its face.
*Everyone burst out laughing*
HM: My question was going to be, where is its face?

We were laughing for a good five minutes afterwards.

Then, later on in the same meeting:
HM: I need to step out for a second. Keep your pants on, Leibo.

We were ramping motor speed.
"Uh, Ryan, why does the code make 0^3 equal 1?"
"Uh-oh, I broke math."

*while looking at some students working in the storage cage*

Me: Do you guys know where the padlock for this door is? (there's only one door in or out)
Taylor: Yeah, I think it's over there.
Terry: Wait, what?

Teacher: This place is a mess!
Us: But its an organized mess!
Teacher: Yeah, organized like a tornado!

Add one more dirty look from a former McDonald's employee.

"COMPILE, D*** IT!"

Our programmer that year was not having a good day...

Probably shouldn't say this but: "Use this, It's less safe."
