Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
A member of our drive team, talking about trying to get onto the field during semi-finals [our driver is about 5'2 and tiny, and the mascots were apparently pressed pretty close]
'I'm trying to get onto the field, and there's a dancing skunk in the way! I understand they're enthused, but really?'
Me and our programming mentor, in disbelief that our hacked-out autonomous code was working reliably, high-fived each other at about ten-minute intervals most of Friday:
'High five! And again! And once more!'
Telling a rookie team about how strong Fischer-Price motors are compared to Denso window motors: 'We put a Fischer-Price motor on our elevator, and we promptly broke a belt! Which maybe speaks more of the strength of our belts than it does about the motor...'
