*two freshmen arguing over one cut piece of metal*
"are you sure you cut it right"
"yeah, right on the line."
"the line's right there, i can see it"
"which end is the end we want to use"
"did they just roll their eyes at us?"

"don't touch that!"
"go away!"
"why do they call them chips if you can't eat them?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

We have a mentor and a student on our team both named Andrew. We were trying to make things less confusing.

Gabby:"Well what are we going to call him?"
Ryan: "What about Drew?"
Gabby:"I don't know, he doesn't look like a 'Drew' to me."
Me: "He looks a little Drewish to me!"

While working on awards...“Maybe if I lay my head on my keyboard, it will channel my thoughts into my laptop.”

This one was after our ex-mentor came back for the first time during the season. “Wow. You sound really bad. You look great though!”

“I sharpened your pencil…with scissors.”

While one member was playing with a binder clip "Rawr...I'm going to eat you..."

From one of our "technically lacking" mentors at one of our first meetings.

Mentor "Kids through this program learn some much. You've heard stories about people who go to college who dont even know how to use a screwdriver. In FIRST you learn how to use powertools, and that you need to tap before you drill"
Student "No, you tap after"
Mentor "Well then whats that thing you poke it with before you drill?"
Student "A Center Punch"
Mentor "Same Thing"

Me-"Ken, you stole my strippers"
Ken-"Yeah, well I'm not paying f--"
Me-"NO JOKES."

Ok, so we were selling the remaining cinnamon rolls from our fundraiser at a local hardware store...these are the results of 4 hours's long work...

--S1 and S2 were playing chess...using Starbursts as pieces and graph paper as a board, since we didn't have a real board. S1 draws a face on one of the starbursts, and then a crown to represent a king. He "walks" the king across the board. "I'm a little starburst...!"
--S3: "We sound like 20 hungover chinese men after a night of drunken organ steeling..." (we were being kind of...loud)
--S4: *picks a random screw off of the floor* "Anyone wanna screw?"

"Radio Shack-you have questions, we have blank stares"
Said when trying to find a DB15P solder cup, no one knew what we were talking about.

"So they give us the motors and the gearboxes, but no screws?"
Said when trying to assemble a Fisher-Price gearbox

There were many others that were generally comments on the crappiness/randomness of stuff in the KoP, but I don't remember them.

"Can I have my Milwaukee Strippers"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Me: "Hey, Freshman!"
Other: "I'm a Junior!"
Me: "That doesn't matter."

Something to the effect of:
"And that right there is the Sharpie line between right and wrong. Guess which side you cut on?"

And randomly, to justify what we are doing: "Because its more sexy now!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

"If we know something and we know nothing, we know this."

Funny thing was that it actually made sense for what we were talking about...
