"It works, just not yet." Currently the most said phrase on our team...
"I'm sure the code will work this time!" Said wayyy too often.

We've recently taken to calling one pair of scissors the "Magic Scissors". They look about like this, and a casual observer might think they're "funny" and not good for anything. But they're fantastic at "soft" materials like pool noodle, pneumatic tubing, dual-lock, fabrics, and rubber sheets. We've also cut some wire with them better than the wire cutter part of our one wire stripper.

If it won't cut otherwise, try the Magic Scissors.

"Square hole, round shaft. No workey."
"Yeah, I know some programming languages. A little Spanish, mostly German though."
"6 inches is the new 7.125 inches."
"Where's the fifth and six wheel?" Four weeks into build season, FYI, and our robot has four wheels.

When talking about testing the code:
Me: You don't really expect the code to work perfectly the very first time yo run it.
Coach: Yes you do(completely seriously).

Mechanical Mentor: We really need to get the funnel attached to the robot by the end of today.
Mechanical Student: We have a funnel? Really? When did we get that??
Mechanical Mentor: About two weeks ago..

Freshman: "Why are we mounting such a big battery at the bottom?"
Veteran: "Well, we wanted to put it at the top, because gravity will help the electricity flow that way, but we decided that if we just used a larger one we could get enough power between that and an electricity pump and use its weight to prevent the robot from falling over."
Freshman: "Why not just put the big battery at the top and use the extra power to prevent the robot from flipping over?"
