This wasn't either during the build season nor is it from a FIRST anything, but I read a quote today that I thought was funny:
"The variables varied."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 
team 1757 has this box full of random screws and bolts (the "tetanus box"), and i realized during the prototype phase that we didn't have a similar box for nuts, and that we were actually running low on those. when someone asked today what else we should put on the shopping list, i said:

"we should probably get our hands on a bunch of random nuts, too."

that's only funny because i had no idea :ahh: it was funny when i said it.

"The magical smoke that make electronics work."
"Oh, okay."

"Okay, now turn that handle.... uh.... thirty-two times."

"I hate burs." *Spins a power drill on high speed with a reaming bit in it*

When that one dude kept saying "The game" a lot of 675 members kept groaning and making their distress public.


While talking about reservations for the San Jose regional:

"We can't go anywhere else than Motel 8! It's like a tradition for 675! Not to mention, all the hookers downstairs and the wild, fake sex in the bathroom!"

Then another person chimed in, after we were talking about how we all went to denny's:
"Wait, you all went to Denny's? Oh yeah, I remember that. I actually went to sleep, then I woke up and I was like "You went WHERE? WITHOUT ME?""

Not quite a quote, but somebody on my electronics team was crimping a terminal onto the battery-gauge wire, and he held it vertically to crimp, by the crimping tool. He had already crimped it down before he realized that the wire had fallen out first.

During lunch Saturday:

Mark (a mentor): Dan, did you wash your hands before eating?

Me (Dan): No, I don't need to. During the Build Season, I eat enough iron here at Robotics so that I don't need to eat any more spinach at home.

Mark: We are working with mostly aluminum.

Me: Oh, I'm going to wash my hands then.

StephLee 15-01-2007 09:36

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 
One of our mentors is very adamant about not just jumping in with a design unless you've run the numbers, so it's become a sort of saying with us:

"Oh wait, I'm sorry, I haven't 'run the numbers' yet."

"Nope, I'm not listening until you run the numbers. Try again."

"Ookaaay...you run those numbers, then we'll talk."

So now, whenever someone says it, the mentor who started it asks "Alright, what can I throw this time..."



Devynn - "Three doesn't divide equally when dealing with humans, does it?"



Parent - "There's a lot of pizza going into this endeavour, isn't there?"



*after the second slashed tube*
Mr. Phil - "Okay, you're all on official tube tossing restriction..."



*loud obnoxious clanging noise* "Okay, this time, I'll admit that was me. My bad!"



"Is there any pizza left?"
"...no."
"We just got it ten minutes ago!"
"Exactly. It's been ten minutes."
*so that was about three minutes per pizza*

Keep in mind these mentors are...lets say older than 30:

"So, how are you doing on the chassis?"
"We pimped it good!"
(everyone cracks up)

Later that night; remember that I'm the only programmer with enough experience to do anything on our team.

"So, is everyone happy with their subteam assignments?" - Rory
(5 seconds later, when everyone is silent)
I slam my fists as hard as I can on the table and yell "I DON'T WANNA PROGRAM" as a joke.
Everyone cracked up because the possibility I would get out of this now is zero.
(Rory, clicking his Gerber multi-tool out) "Which tooth should we pull first? How much do you value your fingernails?"
Another team member "How about water torture?"


Denny, repeatedly to me "So, are we hanging in autonomous with the camera yet?" even though we don't even have a robot with manipulator built yet.

Our school-appointed advisor was trying to understand the game, and mostly the whole 'swingy-swishy', as he called it, part of the rack.

"Wait, so this thing's gonna react like Jell-O!"

at this point, Big Mike and I look at each other, and I mouth "Jell-O Game!" and burst out laughing.


[edit]

also, we were cutting a piece of our frame, and somehow there was a shortage of safety goggles.

We call our tube handler "the sucker"
(because of the way it picks up tubes (not a suction cup!))

This name has caused some very interesting exclamations :D

"Stop Sucking!"
"Suck more next time!"
"Suck less!"
"Keep sucking!"

Its pretty funny, especially since nobody means it:D
