Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
September 2012, I was new to FIRST and was asking stupid questions.
Here's a few examples.

"What's an Allen Wrench?"

(I point to a treadmill) "Joe, we should use the motor from this treadmill on next season's robot."

Ekcrbe: What teams do you know?
Me: Uh... Us... The Juggernauts... The Killer Bees... Rush...
Ekcrbe: That's it? Oh my god. (lists off teams 1-200 within 2 minutes)

This was during our Robot 102 lessons on the same day.
(Electrical made a visual encoder mount for Programming on a BaneBots motor. Electrical just got done wiring it)

JosephC: James!!! Come here!!!
(I walk over to the programming area)
Me: Yes?
JosephC: You wired this encoder wrong!!!
Me: What's wrong with it?
JosephC: You put it on the PWM outputs!!! Not the inputs!!!

(programming mentor was testing his code. Ekcrbe and I are walking out from a meeting. We notice a great deal of smoke and a very bright blue light emitting from the slot on the side of the BaneBots motor)

(both of us at the same time): OH MY GOD!!!

(run over to the programming area)

Mentor: Nothing to see here.
Ekcrbe: What happened???
Mentor: I forgot to change the settings to this motor from the CIM we were using earlier.

(A mentor brings in an electric wheelchair to be repurposed as a turkey leg carrier)
M: Holy crap!
Me: What?
M: This wheelchair is powered by 24 volt CIMs!!!
(everyone within earshot) WHAT??? (run over to wheelchair)
