Someone on my team said this today about Dean Kamen:

"Wait, he invented the Segway! I thought he invented the subway!"

Everyone around her cracked up.

Not really a quote but, It was that moment when you find a vice-clamp sitting in a cardboard box among some other tools in the orchestra room at Rosemont High School. I thought, "That doesn't belong there! I should put it back in the Build Room!" And then you remember that, in fact, it doesn't belong to the robotics team at St. Francis. #FembotProblems


Also, not a quote either, but.. My mom calls our robot, "the computer."
"She volunteered to help pack up the computer and send it to St. Louis."
She also says St. Louis like St. Louii instead.
Not bashing my mommy, I love her lotsies.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

after pointing out how undersized in all areas our robot was:
" you know how sometimes small dogs act big and tough? they call it little dog syndrome, well our little robot pushes every other robot around, because it has little robot syndrome!"

favorite long standing joke between team captain and me(the only programmer):
if it compiles, its electrical. if it's not on fire, its programming.

this got so bad that we almost kept a tally running on it and you know what? it was almost always electrical!

Our team only has the net put on the top basket for our practice field, so whenever we all start taking shots, if someone misses all you hear is "That would have gone in the bottom net..."

Our teams lead programmer was having problems writing code for a compressor.
"I think I finally found the problem?!?!?"
He said this about 25 times...:confused:

My personal favorite from this year (despite my status as "mentor" i was really the camera person): "Wait, are you recording this?"
