Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 
From a few years ago while working with a team:

A mentor handed a student a piece of marked out aluminum and a 1/4" drill bit. The student was asked to use the drill press and drill holes where the marks were using the bit in his hand. The student came back a few miniutes later with the drill bit and the un-drilled piece in still in his hands. He then said

"The drill press only drills 1 size hole, and it's not this size"

He then got a lesson on chuck keys and how they work.......

"And it was all just a weird fish dream"

While turning on the robot: "Lights! All the Lights are on! Lights... Camera... It didn't explode!"

After 3D printing a custom case for a sensor and finding out that the sensor was illegal: "Can we keep the box? Maybe we can use it as a spare magic smoke container; it's to pretty to not use."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 
More of a story than a quote, but it happened at yesterday's build session, and it has a couple of quotables in it:

Background: The "swoosh" is a custom curved polycarbonate piece of our robot that pushes gears onto the peg (meaning it reaches outside of the frame perimeter). T is a "practical" mentor, J is a veteran sophomore who is taking on leadership roles, and (duh) I'm G2.
G2: Why are you making another swoosh? We haven't tested the first one.
T: The first one broke.
G2: It broke? How?
T: It fell on the floor.
G2: (to J) Did you use polycarb or acrylic?
J: ??
G2: Lexan or plexiglass?
J: Polycarb.
G2: Are you sure? Polycarb is pretty hard to break.
J: Well, it did fall kind of weird...
G2: If it were polycarb, it would probably survive being run over by a car. Is that from the same sheet?
J: (Nod)
G2: Let's start over..
(Later, after I broke the first swoosh about six more times by hand, broke the rest of that sheet by foot and tossed it in the trash, and a lexan version was complete - cut much faster using a jigsaw, which did not work at all on the acrylic)
G2: (Bending it in hand), Yes, this feels a lot less stiff than the other one. The other one broke here (bent about 15-20 degrees). This one goes to here (at least 3x as far) no problem. OK. (Full windup and throw piece at floor of workshop as hard as I can.)
J: :eek:
G2: Hey, it didn't break, did it? Would you rather find out that it breaks on the floor of the workshop or on the floor at Bayou?
J: :o
