Me, today, at a 364/3946 demo at a NASA Curiosity event, regarding a set screw: "Yes, it felt important when I stepped on it."

"Who disassembled the drivetrain AGAIN?" Our drivetrain went through 5+ versions and was disassembled wayyy too many times

"Is this safe to breathe?"
"Probably not."
I asked the build captain this when we were sawing Plexiglas. We never did put on a mask...

Just Thursday, me again: Yes, you may use some cleanup of the rags to stain the bench, but OUTSIDE, and not at the end of a build session.

Tonight, on our slack channel: "Dremel is the last refuge of the incompetent" (with apologies to Salvor Hardin and Isaac Asimov)

A girl on our team did a small presentation once and every time she wrote the word safety, she misspelled it as saftey. It became a kind of in-joke on our team, if you say 'safety' you will be corrected until you say 'saftey'.

*When putting grease on anything* "The bigger the glob the better the job."

(To clarify, I found an electrical butt connector while someone was in the pit across the way looking for one after some of our Powerpole crimps failed.)

...these three put the "harm" in "harmony"

Oh, momma! (like Johnny Bravo) (We have a male team member who does powerlifting, has blond hair in a big-on-top style not too much unlike Johnny Bravo's, and has become known as "team mom").

A programmer who was on our team last school year for stronghold (graduated last school year) was drawing a picture on the board during game breakdown right after kickoff. He drew a circle and we couldn't tell what it is. He then proceeded to say "Can't you tell!?! It's a boulder!" and then spelled it out on the board "B-O-L-D-E-R Boulder".

During a recent offseason...

Backstory: Due to a shortage of teams, the #1 alliance needed to randomly draw one eliminated semifinalist so they could play the finals 3v3. So, they sent out one representative to do the random draw, and who was blindfolded prior to drawing a boulder from the box of boulders with team numbers.

MC: *holding up five fingers* How many fingers am I holding up?
Rep: Umm... Five?
Head Ref: *turns towards scoring table* All right, who supplied the blindfold?

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Arrrgh my team did the same thing but several years before I joined. In our glass cabinet at our school where we store our awards and various other things, there was list of things that we were involved in. Of course, "saftey" was one of them. Nobody noticed until last year, or at least nobody said anything. At least it was in a reasonably out of the way place. :o

"You young'uns these days...I can't keep up with you and your...hippity-hop."

"Were potatoes even invented in 1946?"

"What is that? Is that that Daft Punk song?"
"That's the motor."

"Does it say in the rules that having your robot on fire is illegal? Hey, you show me where it says in the rule book that I can't have my robot be on fire."

This was said to me by a close friend of mine when I was about to go to the shop to machine a part, and almost forgot my safety glasses.

"Hey Jello!"
"What?"
"It's dangerous to go alone. Here take this!" *hands me my safety glasses*
