It was reported to me by my wife that at ~4:00am Sunday morning, I was sleep-walking around the bedroom, trying to find a drill to re-rivet the arms for our elevator. I'm thinking a 48 hour nap after bag and tag might be in order...

Since last night was Stop Build Day, we have today "off" from robotics (except for an officer meeting), so this happened last night as we were packing up:

Me: What's a "day off," and what does one do with it? Should I just spin around in circles until I get a splitting headache?
Lead mentor: Well, you could still do robotics stuff at home. You could work on the website.
Me: (immediately cheering up) Okay! I'll do that.

"You guys are still here?"

"Let's not, and say we did!"

Upon bagging the robot

Mentor: "And now back to our regularly scheduled lives"
Student: "what's that?"

Student: "What am I going to do with my life now?"

Senior members
Student 1: "This is our last build season..."
Student 2: "I'm gonna miss this in some sick sadistic way."

Student 1: "I'm gonna start having robot withdrawals"
Student 2: "You're gonna wake up at 3:00 AM and start looking for a 7/16 nut driver"

Me, when about to install RobotPy on the practice bot to our programming mentor: "We're spreading the gospel of Python!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

One of our engineering mentors, when the robot was starting to get heavy:

"Well, we could always strap a bunch of helium balloons on the robot"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"But the empty battery weighs less!"

"Looks like the robot needed another blood sacrifice."

While detaching our electronics board:
"Is this technically removing the robot's heart or intestines?"
"Its nervous system, I think."

Later that night - a.k.a. midnight on the last day of build:
"So we pretty much bagged an empty frame?"
"Yep."

And on the list goes...

"Gimme that ALCOHOL!!!"
"Ohmygosh blood"

Someone cut their finger. First is their (joking) reaction to disinfection with Hydrogen Peroxide in contrast to rubbing alcohol, the second is someone else on the team's reaction upon walking in on the area.

Today I found some papers in our recycling bin game piece.

"Who's been using the recycle bin for its intended purpose?"
