This happened last night watching House:

TV: "What do you get when you combine Home Depot and this weekend?"
Me: "A robot!"

"Pretty good game... when people aren't noobing it up!":(
"You do have the force, because it's mass x accelleration."

Was talking to someone a little after testing our shooter

Me:Want to hear something cool?
Him: Sure
Me: The max speed of the shooter was 4480 RPM, but the max that we should be able to get out of the motors by doing maths is 4154RPM
Him: Wow so will we burn them out?
Me: No, we are just breaking physics
Him: We are awsome

"We got not time!"
"Quick like a bunny!"
"I remember when..."
"Who broke the dang CNC?!"
"It's a fact!"
"Where's the hammer!"
"The torch WILL NOT turn off!"
"Soooo shafty!"

I'm standing quietly next to the robot as our team captain explains our design to a judge at CMP.
Student: "...and our design mentor here showed us..." pointing at me
Judge: "You're a mentor?!?"

*That awkward moment when the clean-shaven late-20s mentor is mistaken for a student*

"Sounds like 3 1/2 inches."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Me: We need to lose weight on the bot
Mech: Can't C&C use lighter code?
C&C: I'll be happy to give you all zeros in the code, if that will help
Me: Just use fewer 1's than 0's
Mech: I'll attach a wire that will drag behind the bot as it drives, it can get rid of the extra electrons
Me: Why don't we just attach it to the battery, that way we can pass all our extra electrons to the other alliance's bot, it will make them heavier with all the extra ones.
Electrical: So that's why it stops and starts to let out the magic smoke, it's because it is too heavy!

*mystery solved!*

Mr. Sarber explained to us two Golden Rules when it comes to robot building:
1. If you have to fit something through a hole and it's not quite working, you can always just make the hole bigger.
2. If all else fails, whack it with a hammer.

Our rookies presented the not-quite complete robot built during the off-season to the veterans...
"Simply gathering the materials for Aragog [the robot] was a grueling and arduous task, involving a trip through the Fiery Chasms of Doom (all 72 of them), and subjecting us to the sight of me wearing a dress. We lost many sorely-missed team members to such mishaps as tripping over a nail. Still, through it all, we persevered and were able to mostly build a robot. It doesn't quite work yet, but it's the thought that counts."

Wondering if we should apply for the Chairman's Award...
"Sounds good, guys, I'll get writing."
...
"Say, does anybody know how our team has creatively spread the message of FIRST through our community?"
"Um, most of the school doesn't even know we exist."
"Shoot. I can write a prize-winning paper - and I have - but not if I don't have anything to write about!"

After break...
"Okay, so we've finished everything except for one-twentieth of the Goldfish Colors."
"Be nice if we could finish all but one-twentieth of the robot. ... And by 'finish,' I mean 'build,' not 'eat.'"
"Of course."
"Yeah, don't eat the robot."

"Soo is it going to move or did we just build a giant paperweight?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

We have one of those, but what was better was one of our girls who is very mature was asked during an interview with a judge "I can't tell if you're a student or an old person"
yea...
