During our dinner break, our president of marketing was saying how our top sponser was DEShaw and that we needed a DES name (i.e. DESbot, DESiree, Desdroid)

Then he pauses for a moment and say,
"Oh, wait."

This is from a while ago:

During a practice match in 2013, our Frisbee shooter was at about half power.
Old Drive Head: "We need more power!"
Me (In a Scottish accent): "I'm giving it all she's got Captain!"

The ref behind us high-fived me after.

After one of our matches at champs, looking at the robot:
Drive coach: Wait... What's that gray tab?
Me: Uhm... I think that's from the battery
Coach: So you mean to tell me, that you broke the unbreakable batteries?
Me: :V Well... Yes?
Coach: $@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#! We just ordered these! Stop pushing so $@#$@#$@#$@# hard

Breaking batteries later became a running joke at champs... We still have the battery ;)
