I understand that, but it's gonna smell like a marshmallow in the electric chair.

"whatever happens this last match, we know that the real goal of FIRST is not for this robot to win, but that we learn something. If i was on robotics to win, it wouldn't be nearly as fun."

"The wheels suck."
"No they don't!"
"Then the programming sucks!"
"The ARM sucks!"
"Well, something sucks, and it needs to be fixed!"

A new student to the team said something to the tune of "Who the heck would buy a box full of broken washers?!?!?!????" Referring to a box of lock washers....lmao.

Ok, so our mast mast wouldn't stay on the chassis when we were trying to measure height.

Me: "It won't stay!"
Mentor:"Just tape it"
Me:"We're not allowed to use tape"
Mentor:"Wow, notice how she didn't question the tape, but said that we're not allowed to use it. Ok Kara, what rule is that, then?"
Me:"I dunno...it's an <R> rule...maybe in the 30s?"
Mentor:"At least she knows that it's an <R> rule, which already makes her better than most of the team"
Other Mentor: "And she's a frosh..."
*mentor goes to check rulebook*
*he comes back*
Mentor:"It's rule <R38>"

An engineer, referring to my computer: "What you've got here is not a computer, but rather a high-gain mistake amplifier. Sometimes it's an infinite gain mistake amplifier"

We've had it with the "your mom*" jokes, so those are gone--I get punched if I say them. Not exactly a robotics quote, but I was online and realized that my friend could not punch me through Xfire...so I used like 20 of them...and he punched me 20 times the next day...:D

I had quit shaving for awhile (somewhere around a month) and so I was known as "Wolf man"...I shaved and now I'm "hairless poodle"...:p

Mentor: This robot is probably the best one we've built.

Other Mentor: Yeah

Mentor: Hey Nick, why is it the best one?

Me: No, Rivets?

Quote from our Team Head Coach (he was completely serious until he realized what he said)


"Check the PWM cables they might be leaking."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Regan **our mentor**: What is that?
Me: a giant nut and bolt
Regan: I can see that... but why is there half a pound of weight in one nut and bolt?

followed by:
Sam: this robot needs to be bulimic

looking at the bumpers:
Rixon: what did you do?
Harrison: why are they sparkly?
Me: What? They're hott!!! I mean come on... we used stripper dust!!!
Regan: stripper dust..... good choice
**i dont think he was really paying attention to what was going on**

Written by a mentor:

Thing is, he was serious and it was true at the time.

Recently we've been having some weird discussions at our meetings...

After getting the vacuum hose too close to his mouth, Matt simply said "that tasted like suck."

And somehow we got into the topic of global warming and Brian enlightened us to the fact that we aren't the cause of forest fires, "It's those dang trees that are the cause of forest fires!"
