One of the college mentors and I have been very amused lately by the energy chain(but who isn't?) so we were looking into buying out own. This is the short conversation that resulted.

Me: Where are we going to buy energy chain from? Igus?

Mental: I guess.

Both of us: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

We were making a portable field out of plywood squares covered in carpet and somebody (who shall remain nameless) suggested using electromagnets to stick them together.

Needless to say I was very tired one night and no one would give me any more caffeine. :D

That word was said wayyy to much during our season. But it did look good on my Philly cape. I don't think it was on my ATL cape. Every time someone said Jam on my team our head mentor would say jelly... there were a lot of Jam vs. Jelly battles.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

one of our mentors walked up to our driver at the meeting after the Boston Regional (we were one of the fastest robots there)
Mentor- Hey, there was a glitch in the code at Boston.
Driver- *gets confused look on his face*
Mentor- The robot wasnt going full speed.
Driver- *gets really happy look on his face* Really!?!?

at the next competition our robot was going too fast for anyone to handle we drove into the baracade between lanes and broke some of the welds on the robot and and put a huge dent in the front

at the next meeting after that i looked at our mentor and said, "you should probroly(sp?) put that glitch back"
