Chief Delphi - "Quotes" that were said during build season

I'm wondering what some of the more interesting "quotes" or phrases said this year. It doesn't matter who said them, a student, a teacher, or a mentor. One of mine this year was "Ball chunk colorer person". That was said when someone asked why i was coloring a ball with a sharpie.

One of our guys said "We might not have the prettiest robot...but boy will our bumpers look good!" because of the custom font "speed" we have used in the past.

From last year's build

Coach to Driver during practice: "No, no! Do the Dukes of Hazzard thing over the moat again!"
*crash*
C: "... not quite like that"

If Luke Skywalker pulled a frayed nylon strap out of his pouch, tossed it onto a rung with velcro, let it pull four or five revolutions, and then pulled up on it with a DeWalt screwdriver to lift himself and his sister for a swing across an enormous vertical shaft, that would be easy next to what I totally bought in A New Hope.

Probably? Does that mean that there is only a little less than 50%? Those still are not terrible odds for cult recruitment.

After working on fixing a part of my Clarinet with a soldering gun, i place my hand down and quickly recoil it. The people beside me looked in panic.

I said.

"Oh, no! It wasn't hot, it was just a bit wet and it kinda freaked me out!"

"Hey, where did all of the 1/2 in bearings go?"
"No idea."

*some time later*

"These are really odd looking bearings on the test bot... oh."

Yes, a freshman assembled a kit chassis with bearings as spacers.

Don't drag the rope to the robot; drive the robot to the rope.
