Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
My favorite quote from build is from when one of our freshman members was watching me bolt our load bearing manipulator support strut onto the robot, and said "Are you sure we can't just use duct tape for that?" It has become a common expression around the team and someone says it just about every day.

A few students working at one of the work benches along with two mentors, one of the students is standing in a not natural looking way, another student says to him
"Why are you standing like that?" He responds " this is my stance" I (mentor) say "it's his buffalo stance" all the students look at me confused. I say "look on iTunes" It has since been downloaded by a few students. Ahh late 80's dance music lol |

Getting towards the end, and we're getting a bit punchy.
After a wooden mock-up of a pancake cylinder disintegrated in simulated use: "That's it, I'm throwing in the dowel." Many times all season: "Mikey, why did you break the _____?" "It was like that when I got here." Tonight: "Mikey, did you break the Mikey? We only have one." "That depends what you mean by break." "Somebody fetch the bucket of boulders" "Don't try to catch the launcher with your face." (Background: a beignet is a local delicacy - slightly sweet dough rolled flat, cut into squares, deep fried in lard, and served with confectioner's sugar and french roast coffee, often laced with with chicory.) "No, a churro is more like a beignet." "A crispy beignet covered in cinnamon and heart failure." "Where's the thing?" "Which thing?" "You know the thingety thing that goes up and down next to the round thing." "Um, this?" "Yeah, that's the thing." (I was working with another group at the time and didn't bother to find out what they were talking about.) G: "Did you notice that the PDP has bolts now?" (the M6 bolts that secure the main power leads went missing) L: "Yes, just a minute ago, thanks! M: "But They haven't hooked the battery up yet." G: "No, not without the bolts." M: "What are you talking about?" L: (points) M: "Oh, bolts! I thought you said volts!" "How many links in the chain?" "Hmmm.. somewhere around 36 to 40 half links. I didn't count, but the pitch is five inches and it just fit along the perimeter of this [six foot by three foot] table." (Yes, working on a pit display). "And we need some more cam wire." "Do you mean CAN wire? Because we should have enough of that." "No, cam wire." "I don't know what cam wire is" (Yes, it was CAN wire, and with some more efficient wire routing, we do have enough for both robots.) "That's not polycarbonate is it? I'm pretty sure it's acrylic." "No, it's polycarbonate." (during installation) [CRACK] "We need something thicker." "No, You need somthing polycarbonate." |

"I'm done with everything that requires distractions." K: "What shade of gray is the sky today?" J: "It's a nice mahogany gray." "Looks slightly like a deranged dinosaur." - commenting on a 3D-printed potentiometer mount "I'm pretty sure that black magic is not allowed at FRC competitions." (Although it's never mentioned in the rules!) "Just push the button until it works." and "We can now say we have pushed all the buttons." - programming, having issues installing Java onto the RoboRio "It's not hacking, it's cheating with style." "We're working on the squigglies inside this box." - programming mentor explaining the process of deploying code (the box is the RoboRio) N: "I scratched myself on a CAN Talon." I: "Talons are sharp, yes." "Now we pull the magic stuff, from the magic cloud, into the magic box." - pulling from Github just to deploy to the robot "Unplug something at random and see if someone screams." - finding a spot for the laptop charger in the computer lab's power strips (the lab's computers don't have batteries, and turn off instantly when unplugged) "I always get my chair stuck in that foot." "Do we need a measury thingy?" Said once, and now an ongoing saying: "That is very much so not quite right." "Don't put the sparks anywhere where they would hurt anything." Our mentors have an interesting view of safety. "I don't always open doors before going through them." "It can't feel my sock." - Protip: touchpads on laptops are designed for fingers, not feet. "I come bearing gifts for the clan of the churro!" - We have a lot of churros on the bot this year. EDIT: apparently another member of the team already shared those links.
