A shaft was stuck on a bearing and had actually pulled the bearing out of the wheel (we were exploring options).

me: "I think we need the persuader on this one."
One of the other mentors: "Let me try." (pops it off with no apparent effort)
Student and me: "Whaa--?"
Me: "Well, we still need the persuader. We need to put the bearing back." (as in, back in the wheel)

Most of our stuff is safety jokes. Like, "I'm gonna stick this thing in my eye, is that safe?" "Killer death beams aren't technically forbidden in the safety manuel, oh, wait, wait, yes they are."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 
this is from last year's team captain:

"it won't fail 'till it breaks"

Towards the end of build season we start making up words like "gription" and "prettify". Maybe it's because of lack of sleep, but none of the made up words need any explination.

WE have our infamous "Napkin of Truth" where we write down all the words we've made up. Just to name a few.

Gription (though everyone has made this up, I believe)
Argaffirming- Arguing with someone, while simply restating what they've already said. It's both arguing and reaffirming.
Inspenser- The opposite of a dispenser.
Theoletically- Me trying to pronounce theoretically.

I'll post some more when I have access to the Napkin.

"$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@# MARIA!"

The oh so famous one.

"CANT STOP! CANT STOP! CANT STOP!" - This was when we were testing our remotoe control with the robot. It was going forward and then next thing you know the robot wouldnt stop. SO our mentor started to yell and the robot ramned into last years field rack. :yikes:

"David stop!"-Everyone
"DUGADUGADUGA" -Mentor Mr. Meagher
"KISS- Keep It Simple Stupid" -Mentor Mr. Sotir

Ok, so first we're going to do some WAD, then some CAD, then some different CAD, then some AAD and then we'll have a robot...

"Without robotics, kids like us are left alone and afraid!" lol Kraemer (Drive Train)

Our school was scared of snow tonight and decided to cancel all after school activities (hence the previous quote) . They told us we can't come in. Normally, if this was later on in build, we wouldn't listen but we all decided to play it safe for once.(hence the next quote)

"MORT is not a f*****g afterschool activity!!! We simply can't be canceled! Its more like a ...'hey Mr. Principal man, we're staying here for 12 hours if you don't mind. Oh and don't worry, we'll sleep in the gym'... " -Tanvir (End effector)

You'd have the safest robot ever, at least; I don't know how many times someone has cut themselves on an edge we forgot to file...we try, we really do, but something always ends up still sharp.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 
This was the briefing on what happened at the NorCal FLL Championships to one of the teams that our team mentors.
"The team peformed perfectly, but the robot didn't do what it is supposed to do."

So we also have this programmer on our team named Eugene... and these are some of the Eugenisms... (this is from the rest of my team... I personally don't get these...)
"Once you cross the line, you can NEVER go back"
"El Crappo"
"Technically I don't have to program the robot to go backwards or right"

Our other programmer was acting a bit werid on the trackball....
"I feel like Dwight. Except it's too big" (Dwight's from The Office)
The same programmer as above while filling out grants...
"As of now, building robots is our secondary objects"

So our team thinks of food before working sometimes...
"MMMmmmm... cookies..."

Lack of sleep during build season makes a few of our team members crazy... this is at 2 in the morning while drinking Koolaid...
"You know, why doesn't anyone ever sue the Koolaid man? I mean, he jumps through walls getting all of the plaster and asparagus in the juice. That can't be too good for your health."

"Snowball fight anyone?"

"No more targets!!!!"

as boredom overcame us, we made this target out of cardboard and hung it from one of the many pipes. We then drew a ninja and proceeded to throw random objects at it in a orderly fashion.
Objects including and not limited too: bits of extrusion, files, foam balls, yoga balls, other bits of cardboard, files, sharpies...

i think we also threw a sonic doll, but that must be verified

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 
If anyone of you guys where at the Fingerlakes Regionals and remembers our team, we often you yell "Marco" and the crowd would yell "Polo" back. It was funny cause it started out as an advanced team's joke. We where lost finding the motel, so we call up one of the mentors who drove up in his truck. Our drive just says "Marco" then our mentor calls up and says "Polo".

Then also last year we had a bad year, our bot only drove at Regionals. We called it "Ish" because no matter what we did it was also kinda done.......ish. So when people where talking in meeting and said stuff like "The frame is done" then one of use would just say "ish.......".

While building the plywood prototype (mmm...plywood....) I was in charge of putting it all together, while the others on drive base built the connectors for the wheels.

Me: *crazed look* JUSTIN!?!? What do all good teams with casters do?

Justin: I don't know, what?

Me: MOTORIZE THEM!!!!!

Justin: Wee!

We proceeded to think of ways to motorize the ball bearings in the caster.

From the prototype stages our team came up with a simple saying

"The robot should be allowed to boing"

We have a mentor who, unknown to him, we have affectionately nicknamed Gordon Freeman, because he resembles ol gordon, especially with his orange jacket. (his name is actually tom...)

J and Me: We need to build the robot out of something then aluminum...how about completely out of wood...

Tom: That would be (something that the swear filter takes out), or maybe steampunk...

Me: Ooooo.....copper tubing.......

And this is by far the best one...we had subs for dinner this particular day...

Wait, there's more...

Ok, so I've been making pokemon cards for my team. Like, cutting and pasting pictures of my teammates onto pokemon card bases, and giving them attacks. I gave one of the co-captains (Charlie) the attack "Glare..."

Me: "Charlie: Ok, so when you stare someone down, the person who's being stared at feels guilty and kind of like a wimp (speaking from experience). Glare is an attack that paralyzes your opponent, which means that they have to flip a coin to see if they can attack. When you stare me down, I actually think about what I'm going to say next."
Charlie: "Does my glare seriously scare you guys?"
S1: "ya charlie's like that snake on harry potter...turn you into stone with his glare"
Me: "lol, I bet Charlie'll glad to hear that he's like a basilisk...does he have fangs too?"

It's kinda an inside joke, though...

We have a mentor and a student on our team both named Andrew. We were trying to make things less confusing.

Gabby:"I don't know, he doesn't look like a 'Drew' to me."
Me: "He looks a little Drewish to me!"

While working on awards...“Maybe if I lay my head on my keyboard, it will channel my thoughts into my laptop.”

This one was after our ex-mentor came back for the first time during the season. “Wow. You sound really bad. You look great though!”

“I sharpened your pencil…with scissors.”

While one member was playing with a binder clip "Rawr...I'm going to eat you..."

From one of our "technically lacking" mentors at one of our first meetings.

Mentor "Kids through this program learn some much. You've heard stories about people who go to college who dont even know how to use a screwdriver. In FIRST you learn how to use powertools, and that you need to tap before you drill"
Student "No, you tap after"
Mentor "Well then whats that thing you poke it with before you drill?"
Student "A Center Punch"
Mentor "Same Thing"

Ok, so we were selling the remaining cinnamon rolls from our fundraiser at a local hardware store...these are the results of 4 hours's long work...

--S1 and S2 were playing chess...using Starbursts as pieces and graph paper as a board, since we didn't have a real board. S1 draws a face on one of the starbursts, and then a crown to represent a king. He "walks" the king across the board. "I'm a little starburst...!"
--S3: "We sound like 20 hungover chinese men after a night of drunken organ steeling..." (we were being kind of...loud)
--S4: *picks a random screw off of the floor* "Anyone wanna screw?"

And the best quote of the season so far:

There were many others that were generally comments on the crappiness/randomness of stuff in the KoP, but I don't remember them.

Something to the effect of:

And randomly, to justify what we are doing: "Because its more sexy now!"
