Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Me: "where do I put the fans" (fans to cool down the motors)
R: "you want the fans to blow upwards to create a downwards force to increase acceleration"
W: "It perfect... we want the fans to blow up, so the upwards force will decrease the weight"
Me: "W___'s Idea is perfect, If we have enough fans we could even have negative weight"
M: "You can't have negative weight, thou you can put helium in the tanks and have a floating robot."

W: "We should put the ball caster on a piston"
Me: "Why?"
W: "So when the piston fires we can bank turns"
Me: "The robot is probably not going that fast"

R: "Just tape the claw to the crate"
Me: "Pass the Gaff tape"
(crate on the truck)
R: "Oh, you didn't put enough tape...How much you wanna bet that claw will fall off during shipping"
Me: "5 bucks"
