Our bot was overweight when we weighed it (because we forgot to take out the battery) and someone said "We should shave the nuts!".

Others:
"In theory the code should work."
"When button 1 is pressed start givingBirth."
"Our robot must be a seahorse, it's a he and it gives birth."
"My nuts dropped, can you grab them for me?"

More if I can remember them.

"In honor of [mentor], we're naming this variable 'forked'."
"Is it spelled F-O-U-R-K-E-D? ... Oh god, it is now. I can tell by the look on his face."
(for the next 10 mins)
"I just misspelled fourked."

"Accidental engineering" popped up a few times.
Also, from a conversation about some random dangerous thing which I do not recall
Team member: "Ooh, can I do that too"
Alumn/Mentor: "No, it's stupid and dangerous"
Team Member: "Then why can you?"
Alumn/Mentor: "Because I'm a mentor!"
