Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Team 95's top quote was "Do you think that is going to work?" while people are building various subsystems of the robot ("No, we're building this just to see it fail..."). After a while a became a running joke, and it is even written on the bot now.

That, and we have a traditional of designating the "button boy" (the person pushing the programming button) and the "door boy" (the person who goes downstairs and answers the door to the clubhouse after-hours). Either needing the program button pushed (which, in a feat of mechanical design, was very well buried in the final bot, along with the programming and tether ports) or needing the door opened would be accompanied by a loud scream of "BUTTON BOY!!!!" or "DOOR BOY!!!". Oddly, both positions were sought-after.

Oh, and I can't forget the various and sundry promises that, unlike previous years, that this year we actually will get a finished robot for the programmers to work with before ship date. Well, at least this year we actually had two weeks with the drive train to try out...
