Ours smelled like a bonfire because our work shop (graciously loaned to us by a parent) was heated with a wood stove.

"Om nom nom the square by the tower!"

Talking with our pit and alliance members,
Pit "the arm might work this match"
partner one "Our arm is not going to work this match"
partner two "I don't think our arm is going to work right now"

Before our fist ellim match
"Remember its triangle, circle, square."
"WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT, ITS SQUARE CIRCLE TRIANGLE"

we actually scored a backwards logo our 3rd match... little to say the head mentor was furious, and we were heart broken

*H was singing in the shop*
J: What was that noise?
me: That was rude.Did you just call her singing a noise?
J: I honestly thought it was a machine.

(We were wearing team shirts after first day of comps)
Waiter @ hotel restaurant: I should call you guys the crimson bane.
*after he walks away*
Teacher - These shirts are not crimson, they are the most blood red you can get.

(At the New Hampshire Science Olympiad event today, Merrimack has three teams in the Sumo Bots event, and all of them have 166 members)
Member of another team: "Whoa. It's 151 versus 166! Just like GSR!"
Judge: "Yep, field problems and everything!"
Needless to say, I was wicked excited.

The game announcer: "Because the match had to be shut down due to the mishap, the match will be restarted."

the "mishap" was team 702 catching on fire, and needing to be put out with a fire extinguisher.

".... there is a definite correlation between stress and fun. When there is stress, it's just... fun! I haven't figured out how that works yet."--- not during build season. During regionals.

"WHERE'S THE WAGO/ALLEN WRENCH SET/etc.?????"

"Is there any food?"

"GUYS! GET BACK TO WORK!"

Other team at scrimmage

"Come smell the robot"

Reason: the distinct smell of ozone. later the magic smoke smell came and we discovered, rather unhappily, our robot was the one making weird smells.

I'm pretty sure they picked D'Penguineers. But yeah, that was a fun line.
