Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Our team is making an Offensive Power Rating (OPR) and Defensive Power Rating (DRP) program for scouting and our programmer and I call it the Opper Durper. So after waiting for a while for him to finish it I write up on the To-Do List in the shop-
"Luke- Freakin Opper my Durper already!!!" Needless to say, the rest of the team was confused and Luke got a good laugh out of it. |

Mentor N:"dont ask me that" K:"why?" Mentor N:"because if they announce it at regionals all it would be is $#@%#$" B:"you know they have a compilation of every swear word ever said in sopranos?" F:"what if they did that with all the screaming done in dragonball Z" Mentor R:"you ever notice how people in that show are named after foreign things like piccolo" o.0 add that to numerous peter chao impressions, voice changes, and endless freshmen initiations all in all made it a memorable build season.

It is our first year, we worked till 10:30 on our robot today, but it is not finished (but close enough so we will finish at the event...) these are some of the quotes said today and yesterday, probably the most important to remember and not make the same mistake ever again, or they are just funny and will be laughed at in a few years when we look back.
Enjoy! Me: "Guys... Next year we need to panic a week early..." Teacher: "Umm guys, we are 0.25" too wide..." Us: " Why the heck did no one measure it till today?!?!?!?"

Me: "Guys this is the last electronic component to mount" Me (5 minutes later): "O #$%@ guys I forgot the camera" Me (1 hour later, while reading through the manual): O !@#$% forgot the RSL *Runs and gets it* Someone: "So... umm... Zipties?" Student: "It won't go in, its too tight" Teacher: "It will wedge in, just hit it with a manualy actuated impact device" Student: "How do we mount this?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Someone on our team misspoke and said
Girl: "I'm marring his boyfriend" Everyone else: "WHAT?!?!?!? That sounds so wrong in so many ways". Me:"This is so going on Chief Delphi" She was saying brother and boyfriend so many times she mixed them up.... I might as well add this There is a programmer on my team and every time he drives the robot something breaks or get messed up. A perfect example is the last time he drove the robot. While he was driving a chain fell off which isnt really his fault but after mechanical fixed it the robot wouldnt turn on. So everyone was hoping it was the battery. So he goes and takes the battery out of the battery box that HE made. After taking forever to pull it out he say "oh $@#$@#$@#$@# thats hot". Thats when we found the source of problem to be a battery that was about 175 degrees F and bulging outward. Lets just say Im really happy programmers cant drive at competition.:D |

Talking to Matt about possible admission of Matt M (different Matt) next year: Matt:You need to stop putting viruses on his computer. Me:He needs to make his password not "password". Plus its funny to see what 4 lines of VBS script can do to him. Talking about movies to watch on bus to Atlanta: Mom: We should watch the Bee Movie (grumbles and such) Someone: We watch it every year.... |
Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
*Week 3 of Build*
Programmer: alright, the code is done until we can test it on the robot. Hey [other programmer], let's start a DnD campaign! |
Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
A student was driving the robot for the first time. After playing with the controls for a few seconds, she finally got it:
"Oh I see...you control it like a robot!" |
Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Ok well this is one of our quotes and it's from a scary guy. He's our driver too. Anyways this is what he says.
"I'll show you gracious professionalism!" Then we won the gracious professionalism award. Which makes it funnier. |

Quote I overheard from this year's programming squad as I randomly stopped in to deliver my standard box of insanity... "That's what she said. No, really, that's what she said!" FIRST needs more lady mentors. Lines like that are too funny to miss out on. |
Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Last night during the the unbag window, two mentors went to McDonalds to go get us all Shamrock Shakes. Our local McDonalds has a deal where if you buy a sandwich, you can get a shake for $1. So they bought everyone a burger too
Ben: It was cheaper this way. We did the math ourselves! |
Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
All on the bus to Dallas and in Dallas
"I have the sudden urge to take my pants off..." - Candy thinking out loud (she had shorts on underneath) "Is that a marshmallow?" "Its a marshmallow with a tail" "Ughhh! Hook! No! You just scarred me for life! Teachers aren't suppose to say that stuff!" - Me and our mentor Hook while watching Accepted "Cory Jacks" "Not at the table Carlos!" - Jacob and I while playing BS! "I watched 'The 40 Year Old Virgin' with my grandma" - Hook "Bobby, you sounded like a bear in the bathroom!" "It's better than a tiger!" - Brystal and Bobby "Give me the Jesus Pillow" - Many, Many people (I have a lime green pillow that is super soft and it got called the Jesus Pillow) "Sweet Jesus!" "Look to tonight's dinner conversations for advice in the next week" *everyone dies of laughter* - My fortune-cookie fortune after we put a shrimp head with eyes in Candy's rice and in her drink AND Hook ate a baby octopus in front of her. The Chinese Restaurant waitress was in on it with us :) "Dick's Last Resort is next to Hooter's. How epic" |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
I posted a link to this picture on our team forums, commenting on how bent up the frame was...
"Mr. L fixed it, though I kind of wish he had left it...Erdos needs a viking funeral" "there's an app for that..." |

Team Captain: "We could use the thingy! Does anyone know where it is?" Me: "It's in the bottom left drawer." Mentor: "You know what he is talking about?" Me: "Yeah it's the thingy! How do you not know the thingy?" The thingy = the threaded piece of metal, with the black piece of plastic that spins around it, that came in the kit of parts. We never used it on our robot but almost everyone has played with it at one point or another. |
Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
"One rolled over, the other played dead!" - In one of our matches on Saturday at West Michigan, one of our alliance partners flipped over, and the other one had communication issues and wasn't moving.
