Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Our team has three main quotes that we hold to:

#1: "We are way ahead of schedule!" (We never actually are)

#2: "We'll be way underweight!" (We always at the 120 mark if not above)

#3: "In Theory this should work!" (Sometimes it does, other times it doesn't)

Mentor1: We need to find nut plates.
Student1: What are nut plates?
Student2: They're those thingys.
Mentor2: See, he's learning the terminology.
Student1: Look I've made it 4yrs just fine with, "What's that?"!!!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Student 1: "Which way is up?"
Student 2: "Umm... *motions toward ceiling* That way is up, John..."

He was referring to a piece that he was attaching to the robot. He wanted to know which side of the piece was supposed to go up.

(referring to last years robot) "What do you guys need all these zip-ties for?!"
Most of our electronics were held on with zip-ties.

Same person, same robot.

"OMG, why did you use this piece of plexiglass?" He goes on to hit it with a hammer.
The plexiglass is an inch thick with all the electronics mounted on it.

Sam: "Okay, I'm going to teach you how to turn the robot on and off"
Me: "Don't you just flip the switch/ push the button?"
Sam: "Yes, but you'd be surprised how many times this thing has gotten broken!"
Me: "Broken??"
Sam: "Yea by D or S."
Me: "Oh, well that I can see, they're beasts."

Me: "What is that?"
Mr. Regan: "I don't think I should tell you that. Just don't inhale it."

While discussing who should drive the robot...

Me: "Does anyone object to me being the RoboCoach?"
Captain: "I don't know. Can you see over the wall?"
Me: "...I can bring a footstool."

My team likes to make fun of me for being short. This was one of their best insults.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

So we're trying to figure out how to get more people to be able to cut and drill at a time, since our work table is too small for two people to work simultaneously.

"Look, we need to get another work table, or we just won't cut it."

Get it?
