To team members (bobby and chris were screwing a 2 inch screw in when it slipped and stabbed chris in the thumb this is a couple seconds after that.
Chris: I am not going to look but i am pretty sure my figure is bleeding
Bobby: *looks down* yep its bleeding

Bobby: I dream of bunnies George

Me: Ur face is an Idiot

I am sure i will have more a soon as i think of them

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

got a couple more

Teacher: Time to begin operation Swiss Cheese

Student: Why do swiss cheese when u can use geometric shapes instead(come and see team 213's robot at BAE systems regional or Boston Regional to see the geometric shapes)

Other teacher walks in day after operation swiss cheese: Heard robot went on a Diet. Was it Weight watches or Slim-Fast?

Chris Draper after being asked for a 2 inch screw
Chris: *in high pitched voice* The Uber-screw got to get the Uber-screw!!!!!!!

Dan Commenting or Chris Lenhens ball gatherer during its demo

"So you mean I have to use the other end of the hammer?"

"Oh, so that's what that thingy does!"

"Feshly cut steel will alyways be hot everytime you try to pick it up!"

"Do robots charge unexpectedly?"

"We don't make mistakes,... we make adjustments." <= That should be our new slogan

"I don't see how you could break 3 bits in 20 mins!?"

"Told ya so!"

"Do what I mean, not what I say" -Mentor

"
Something's wrong..... the bot doesn't turn on. -Mentor 1
Hmmmm.... Try holding the battery higher to prime the cable with electrons (as a joke) -mentor 2
"

"The code doesn't seem to be loading correctly. Perhaps we should try taking about 10 feet out of this cable..." -Mentor 2

NOTE: This is after I decided that I didn't want to carry the robot to the computer to program it so I hooked all the serial cables together. (Works just fine until the cables start coming apart because you didn't attach them to each other securely)

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

some famous ones
"close enough" -my motto, weird, considering im the best at motor mounts....
"ves!! come clean up your lube!"
"what's a number line?" -our programming captain :rolleyes:

parents night, and someone had rediscovered the labelmaker.
"who put the 'penis' label on rachel?"
then, later...
"alright, who put the label saying 'buttsecks?!?!?' on anik's back before he walked into the parents room?"
^that would be me....

then, last week of build we got chinese food, and i discovered how to remove the fortunes fromt eh fortune cookies, re-label therm, and put them back into the cookie.
"why is my cookie offering me a passionate orgy?"
*not really a quote, but there is this one girl on our team who was terrified by the movie saw, and i got to her cookie...this is the cookie's quote*

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Ok so....our base weighs 100 pounds......we have no shooter, loader, panels....thats not good guys"

"take this picture, and tell everyone its week 3 (week 5)"

"Not a WORD of this reaches MR. Rosen (Lead Teacher).....understand?"

"We just rebuilt the roboti in 2 days.............why?"

"Teamwork is a lot of people doing what I say" -me to the younger students at the beginning of the season {I quickly explained that I was joking, of course}
Note that I did not make up this quote, I found it online, and I thought that it would be perfect.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"It's only a mere flesh wound!" -Whenever someone would get hurt (and I'd usually do some minor flippage.)

"...Alpha-Freshmen..." -The title went around and around...

"TAG!" -New game...er...scare a guy by screaming it and going to kick them where it hurts.

"Hi Paul!...Hi Everybody!"

"No! If I touch it my finger will fall off!" -Fear of soldering...

"Did you kill the fish again Chrispy?!"

Then there was just random stuff that didn't exactly have big quotes...like launching cucumbers (and other veggies), snowball fights, wrestling, "samurai noodle schoolings," and of course random dodgeball fights in tech labs with cameras...and then getting yelled at the next day. Ahh, I'll miss the build season!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Team Member: "Ya Think we have enough speed holes?"
Myself:" There are never enough speed holes."

Mentor: "Alright, you dont get a root beer float until you eat at least 2 slices of pizza." (This was said by one of our mentors on the last saturday that we were allowed to build. Around 8:00 pm we had a break for dinner, considering we had been working since 9:00am. And for some reason, she brought Ice cream and Root beer, So.....Ya know when in rome.......)

Mentor: (Imitating Crocodille Dundee) Thats not a knife.....(Pulls out his pocket knife) Now thats a knife!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Don't cry, it's just a flesh-wound. It's how the robot shows its affection." (oddly like the one above)

"I'd eat and sleep, but that would put me behind schedule."

"Unfortunately it's not broken, that's the way it's supposed to be."

"So, this makes us the last ones on campus and the first ones on campus, right?" (After working through midnight)

"Robotics took over my life. When I said I was going to a party, she assumed that I meant a robotics conference with food...She was only half right." :D

"Warranty does not cover magic smoke." (Darn that magic smoke)

"Hand me the Tool of Persuasion." ::get the hammer::

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

After re-assembling the cart

Me "Mr. J *the mentor* we have a problem"
Mr. J " What..."
Me " this wheel doesn't touch the ground"
Mr. J " Why is that"
Me " Because you let the three girls on the team do it, and one of us doesn't even know what a washer or nut is! "
Mr. J " Oh, that explains it, add more washers!!"

then later on after we got it fixed. One of the other girls goes "So, we RANCHED together the cart...cool" and I go " you said it as if we made a salad, we wrenched it together.."

"Its easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission." One we hate admit has truth.

"Wow, that was another case of drive by management." - I popularized this around the office over the last few months to describe a specific phenomena that has been happening and it slips out at FIRST as well.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"If you make it Draper-proof, they will build a better Draper."
Well, this didn't happen during the build season, but at BAE Granite State Regional. It was in reference to our operator interface. Our operator has the last name of Draper, and is very hyper and somewhat unpredictable (but he does well).

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

We also had one
"I Like Pudding"... quickly followed by "I love lamp" from someone else
and I often did the Phil Ken Sebben laugh followed by random words when someone said something or a cretain part seemed funny.... (HA HA... random word)
sometimes the Peter Griffin Laugh, or even Beavis and Butthead laughter and quotes

Me: forget the snow, I'd rather play in the metal shavings

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

here's one i had a few weeks ago.

"the problem is balls have a mind of thier own, so it's hard to control them and push them."

"Okay, so what if the balls get sucked into a giant screw that rotates, and they get ejected by--what! stop laughing at me!"

"Our robot SUCKS BALLS."

"The misaligned holes along the sides are so ugly..."
"They add character."
"What about that chunk of metal we were too lazy to cut off the shooter?"
"It adds character."
"And all the zip ties-"
"THEY ADD CHARACTER >:["

"This room is so messy."
"Oh, come on...the table is visible today!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Many, many times this quote came up while putting our robot together...

"Just stretch it out, it'll fit fine!"

Like when we were fitting the belt and the pulleys on our collector... they were cut to tense length, so it was hard to mount. No tensioners involved :P

It's hilarious when you think about it. Our robot was a strange mixture of handcut parts and precision machined and welded parts. There are no machined parts over an elevation of one foot, everything was drilled, sawed, riveted, etc. You know, to fit it all together, it just took some... stretching.

I guess another quote that came up a lot was...

"Just use carb cleaner!"

Yea. When our WD-40 can ran out, we started using carb cleaner. After we used it on out transmission. After we were all kindof woozey from the vapors. Good times.

There are some things that can solve all problems. Duct tape, carb cleaner, zip ties, clamps, 1/8" drill bits. Oh, and hammers.

THE BEST OF ALL TIME.

upperclassman-"god, you're bossy"
me-"no, i just know what it is that YOU'RE supposed to be doing."

you ALL forget the classic "SCREW IT!!!"

we had a great convo about screws.
it involved(in order)
-screw it
-harder
-faster
-you're crooked!
-do you need the girls to do it, or can you boys handle it on your own (me)

we basically ended up having to stop work to die of laughter.


and, being one of the only girls on the team (and the only one at the meeting)

our captain: hey....we need someone to vacuum. LIBBY!!!!


and, there's one kid who can't put it thru his head that my family relations in FIRST have nothing to do with how i should be treated (i.e. he thought i was extra-special....which in SOME ways i know i am.)

Kressly: Did you come here looking for me?
me: No... This is my homeroom.

-Kressly assuming I walked into a room looking for him as I usually am, when I'm supposed to be in that room for homeroom anyway.

There's always the classic, "We're having ISSUES."

-whether it be with the bot, with each other, or with the STUPID COMPUTERS.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Just another of those random moments with the mentor.

Me: "My back hurts"
Mr. Jiles: "Well, you know what's worse than a bad back?"
Me: "Um.... :confused:"
Jiles: "A bad front! :D "

This happened when we were test-driving the robot in front of some students down the senior hallway.

Ms. Manuel: "Now, Dana, push the joystick slowly forward, and watch out for those loc-"
Me: "Whoops!"
Manuel: *sigh* "Dana...move. Just...move."

The night the FedEx guy arrived:

Ms. Payne: "Hey, let's put Dana in the crate and ship her with the robot"


Oh, and my personal favorite, the one thing I said the most during build season.

"You know what? Screw it!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Heres a good one:

"Why the hell is the robot not turning off?"

we had a bad breaker.... The robot failed to turn off, of course the next breaker we put in shorted out.

And even today, we talked about it and laughed...don't really get why it's funny. But yeah =]

Here are a few Quotes from the pittsburgh regional from my team :D

(During weight test)

*- Its 120.7 pounds. Overweight, sorry.

CJ - Dont hand me that! (takes 2 bungie cables off)

"The one side isnt working! CHECK THE PROGRAMING! Check it!"

"Programing is Fine! Wait you hear that?" (Motor on non working side running, so they look into the transmission to see whats the matter)

"You fogot the gears!!!!"


Yes my team forgot to put the gears into the one transmission, lol.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Sell The Gazelle!!"

After ship and before our regional event, we were explaining to some of the first years about pit marketing, and the like. While explaining this we mentioned how loud the pits can get and how enthusiasm is really needed. As this is brought up, one of our student mentors comes over and reminds us of the guy that sells the exercise equipment called the Gazelle. I'm not sure how many of you have seen that infomercial but that guy is hyped. So after that we began to tell everyone to "Sell The Gazelle".

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"Let's Go Have It"

If you were at the Pittsburgh Regional, you might have heard it. It is a bit of a story about how a team at a previous regional (which I wasn't at) was chanting something inaudibly, and we opted to poke fun at it with the name above.

Also worth noting, one of our team members was assigned the job of Safety Captain, and one of us coined him with the nickname "Safety Monkey", ala Penny Arcade. Well, throughout the entire regional, we all called him Safety Monkey for everything. Everything.

"Safety Monkey, I cut myself!"

"Safety Monkey, where is your gracious professionalism?"

And he even referred to himself in the third person, with the nickname.

"Safety Monkey didn't do that, now quit bothering him!"

Josh (dazedly): Sorry, my hair's just really short...

"Its not every day you get to shoot a police car"

We wanted to test the speed of our shooter, foruntately one of our mentors had connections with the Ithaca Police Department. They sent a squad car and we shot balls at its radar detector. Problem solved!

"Our cart has legs"

Since FLR was our only regional, we wanted to save money by taking it on the bus. Unforunately, busses weren't allowed to come close enough to the docking area. We had two pieces of the crate, plus the robot to move with only 2 carts. As a result, we had to carry the second half of our crate. We had 8 people carrying it, it was a great team effort!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Most of my favorites came from when one of the students found easy grader pro on his computer and decided to grade the engineers on perfomance and design.

Me: Do you really want me to make this? This is probably one of the worst designs I have ever seen. Minus 5 on design.
R: I'm pretty sure I already have a zero, so yes I want you to make this part.

Things like this happened a lot. Man of the engineers were disapointed with their grades.

Team member when he collapsed sideways off of a chair in the hotel, in slow motion, from a standing position, near some rather expensive electronics. Why he was standing on the chair, no one knows; we were watching scouting tape on a projector at the time.

"The code is fine, the robot just gets stagefright!"

"Get your head out of the shooter!"

"I don't care if it's bent, it adds character."

Me, to a driver: You need to watch your feet when I move the cart.
Driver: Don't worry, you won't hurt my feet.
Me: I'm not worried about your feet, I just don't want you to drop the robot!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

one of out teachers/mentors is mr campbell..and we started compiling a list of "campbellisms"

"Boom boom ouch is a bad thing!"

"I'm just going to take my box of puff tissues and go next door and cry"

"We can hand out Puffs to the other teams so they can wipe the tears out of their eyes after we beat them!
We can hand out Puffs to teams crying for joy after we choose them to go to the finals with us!"

"No, your wrong, it works fine!"

"we needed this done like yesterday"

"The campbell way is the right way"

'They call me Dave Campbell, Master of the Obvious, nothing gets by me!'

"Ive been trying to teach my daughter not to use bad words like stupidhead and idiot. I tell her to say Farmer instead..."
(This with Norm standing right there....) (norm, for who stormin norman was named after, is a farmer and one of our most beloved mentors)


"Oh, this is bad, I need to run and extra 4 miles tomorrow." The whole time slamming down cookies and psuedo mud pie dessert.


and when asked by an unnamed member for his favorite campbellism, his response: "BEER AND CHICKEN!" (why..nobody as yet to figure it out..since campbell has never, probably, said beer in his life)

"Hey Paloma!" (the teacher)"How tall are you?"
"uh...5 ft."
"Hmmm, how much do you weigh?"
"120 lbs., why?"
"Hmmm. I think you might make it through the legal parts flow chart! Let's throw her in the crate!"
