Members about other members: "I'll ship that."

When tired: "Sit/sleep on the headbutt pillow." (We have a pillow, made from leftover bumper material, that has a head side and a butt side.)

Me, speaking about not having time for reading, not actually being able to read: "I wish I could read."

Everyone: "Where is the duct tape; I can't believe we used ALL the duct tape-again."

Electrical Engineer Mentor: While reading the data sheet on an I2C Compass. “Your sidecar isn’t fast enough. It won’t work.”

[a day passes]

Software Engineer Mentor: “We got the compass working. It’s funny we read the data sheet and found out we were using the wrong address. You read the data sheet and concluded it wouldn’t work.”

Electrical Engineer Mentor: "I only said that because I was too tired to read and I knew you would prove me wrong."

"According to my calculations, what we just did was mathematically impossible."

(While using the search on CD, not logged in) "How the heck are we supposed to know Dean Kamen's last name?"

me--"Well, we're improving! It's working now."
mentor--"Well, yeah, if by 'working' you mean 'not working'."

Non-Programmer: "Where is the PID on the robot?" *all the programmers vaguely point to the robot*

Same non-programmer: "How much does the PID weigh?" Programmers: "Like 5 lbs"

"You go to (Insert Teacher Here) to learn how to use CAD, you come to Rath to learn how to CAD." "I see no inaccuracy in this statement."

[We hammered on a very tightly fitting gear to a CIM shaft...it was pretty solid once it was on there. Afterwards, we realized that our original design was flawed and that we would have to take it off]

Mentor (to build team): "This is gonna have to go"

Builder: "Oh Lord. That took forever to get on there! How are we going to get it off?"

Another Builder: "Prayer, Fasting, and Butter."

Mentor: "That's going on the wall."

(We have a sponsor with a water jet cutter and another sponsor with a laser cutter)

Student: When can the parts be laser jet?

Mentor: A laser jet is a printer. Although, we might be able to 3D print them. Good idea.
