Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

MC at FTC regional: "...and you guys know what you're here for..."
Student: "Robots!"
<audience laughs>

Mentor to judge: "Nice to meet you...and I do know the physics!"
(entire team had just finished explaining to the judge that "our head mentor is a history teacher")

Me: "Would you like to run autonomous in second gear?"
Mentor: "I would like to run it in fifth gear."
(we only have two gears)

On the bus to Chesapeake:
Student: "I have to go to the bathroom."
Mentor: "Go knock on the door of that bus in front of us; its a charter bus and probably has a bathroom."
Student: "No!"
Mentor: "Then you'll have to wait fifteen minutes."
Student: "Okay."

On the bus from Chesapeake:
Student: "I have some bad news."
Mentor: "Hold it!"
<everyone laughs>
Mentor: "You've got fifteen minutes."
Student: "But will we get there soon?"
Mentor: "That would depend on whether your definition of 'soon' includes fifteen minutes."

Safety captain at Pizza Hut: "I have a safety announcement. Everyone walk slowly, no trampling, and save me more than one piece of cheese pizza."

Driver: "The drive system seemed to get worse and worse as the match went on; also, the pivoter doesn't work."
^After this, I look at the code and realize I left the robot in tuning mode, which uses the pivoter switch to adjust a traction control constant.

Mentor: "What value are we sending to the motors?"
Me: "I don't know; let's print it out."
Mentor: "Okay, what's the value?"
Me: "The value is dollar-sign dee."
Mentor: "I think you meant to type percent dee. Try again."
