Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

I've been writing down funny stuff people say since the summer of 2011 (and I know a lot of funny people) so this is my new favourite thread. Some of my favourites:

One of our head mentors: "That's our job as mentors: to stand in the corner and laugh."

The same mentor: "I'm a genius. I'm so worth the money they pay me."
(5 minutes later) "Oh my god, I'm such an idiot. I'm so stupid."

In 2012, we were working on our bridge lowerer and we decided it needed to be 1 kilo heavier, and this was the comment one of our mentors made:
"We need to figure out a way to add weight without adding weight. Like weight with a purpose. Add a bunch of bolts."
Me: "You want to add a kilo of bolts?"

"Why does the robot spaz out when we're deploying code?"
"I think it's like it's about to die and this is its one last croak."

"If we turned the robot on now, it would be like a fake campfire."

"Let's file this. It's like digging our way out of prison with a spoon. I'm all for it!"
