I am very sorry for his loss. Our condolences.
On a slightly more positive note, our team (Team 2647 - Cyborg Mustangs hence the username) has a couple of things we often end up saying:
-'to alexia': to use excessive force to complete a task, often by damaging components
-'safety third': 'not changing the robot design' and 'keeping the shop clean' are (jokingly) considered more important
-'would that be good enough for Carl Hayden?': connotes desiring more precision than has yet been achieved
-the word 'slingshot' cannot be uttered in the workshop, due to an ill-advised design attempt last year
-we have 'taco thursday': raises morale!
