Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Here's one of our team's favorite quotes. Whenever anything goes wrong (no matter what it is)

"Blame Kevin"

Kevin, AKA Coffeeism, is our super genius college student mentor who knows everything (yes, everything). So it never is actually his fault, but we pre-plan who we're going to blame.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

OMG.. ironically we had a student on our team last year,, and he like knew everything... he was very "sure" of himself.. and like once year he FRIED A RC :O anyways...

The whole time he was on the team they referred to KFC (Kevin Fries Circuit) and every since he left we always say KFC whenever something goes wrong :P

Me: "where do I put the fans" (fans to cool down the motors)
R: "you want the fans to blow upwards to create a downwards force to increase acceleration"
W: "It perfect... we want the fans to blow up, so the upwards force will decrease the weight"
Me: "W___'s Idea is perfect, If we have enough fans we could even have negative weight"
M: "You can't have negative weight, thou you can put helium in the tanks and have a floating robot."
-------
W: "We should put the ball caster on a piston"
Me: "Why?"
W: "So when the piston fires we can bank turns"
Me: "The robot is probably not going that fast"
-------
(minutes before shipping)
R: "Just tape the claw to the crate"
Me: "Pass the Gaff tape"
(crate on the truck)
R: "Oh, you didn't put enough tape...How much you wanna bet that claw will fall off during shipping"
Me: "5 bucks"

As joe said, "Blame Kevin",
Others include:
-Joe:"I am going to tell you how to perform an operation.... now I will scratch myself excessively."

-Whenever something was lost: "Looks like Tosean came back..."

-Me: "Do you like being men? If you don't put away that file, you won't be for long!"

-Kevin: "I'm 17!"

While working on our robot cart:


Ross- "The screw won't go in"
Me- *Take's biggest hammer we have, beats screw into wood*
Ross- "oh..."
Me- "yeah"


Mentor "I thought we wern't packing till' next week?"
Me- "oops...."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

Screw it. No, the crate.

You know robotics has achieved a level of pure awesome when it had Grant Imahara before Mythbusters started calling him anything other than a "Myth-tern".

(But seriously, has anyone else noticed that throughout the first season or so, the Mythterns remained nameless?)
