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?)

I noticed that, but I also noticed that in the recent episode all about dogs, Grant used his "Battlebot" to try and distract a guard dog. I was heartily dissappointed.

"Better safe than sorry, we don't want to be caught with our proverbial pants down... then again, we don't want to be caught with our real pants down either." - me

"I'd never wear tie-dye outside of a regional. In fact there's a lot of things I probaly wouldn't do outside a regional. What happens in FIRST stays in FIRST." - me

Team newb: To expect any average group of high schoolers to build and develop a robot in less than six weeks is...madness!

Me: Madness?

THIS
IS
FIRST!

Newb: Yeah, I just walked into the Pit of Death with that one.

(At the Richmond Science Muesum for the team Social for VCU, talking about an exhibit) "Hey, those are the same nuts we used on our robot!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Got a new one :)

This conversation takes place during our hybrid testing.

ben: "How can it do that, we didn't program or build it to do that."
Kevin: "How can you question it, you just saw it."

this other quote takes place during our programming phase.

kevin: "Bugs weren't orginally called bugs, when located they can be called features."
robot flys into all.
me: "New feature."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

alright, I got one...
We're getting on the bus before heading off to the Richmond/VCU Regionals and we're all sitting down talking and stuff. The Administrator that was seeing we got on the bus and left safe and sound quited us down to speak. When he was finished, my buddy Chance stood up and, in the dead hush of everyone said, "Does the hotel have a continental breakfast?"

Everyone busted out laughing! How he said it and the randomness of it all was what made it so hilarious. We're still laughing about it, lol.

Another one...

Setting: Wating to get into T.G.I. Fridays to get some food on thursday night.

Me: Hey, is that another robotics team right over there?

Teammate 1: yeah, I think so...

Me: Which one do you think it is?

Teammate 2: There's only one way to find out. Everyone run in yelling "2028!" and see what they do!

lol

There are more, I just have to remember them, lol. As soon as I do, I'll post them. :D

We were practicing driving with our practice robot last night, trying to decide our controls and practicing manuvers

Me "Don't complain about my driving, I only hit the wall TWICE!"

After walking into the build area and smelling the great smell of wire insulation burning.
Student: I think we might have a problem here.

As he was cutting it, I was warning him about the possibility that the pointed end might fly when he cut it and to make sure he was wearing his safety glasses.
His response:
"What good are those? That thing just shot up my nose"!

Sure enough, two hard blows later, out it came.:yikes:

after cutting off a zip tie

MENTOR:"Get the dremmel and remove the tip from that zip tie."
ME: "It's obviously sharp, no one would be stupid enough to grab it."
MENTOR:"Watch this" *Walks over and grabs the zip tie. Blood starts pouring out of the wound."
ME:"Wow, thanks for the example!"
