"Quotes" that were said during build season

[FRC4ME]

I once brought an old 8" floppy into the lab.

Student: "Whoa...it's some sort of storage medium...some sort of disk...and it flops around...it's a...it's a...floppy disk!"

<holds up 5.5" floppy disk>
"You know what these are good for?"
<throws up floppy in air>
<gets stuck in ceiling>

It's still up there.

"And now, it's time to learn the three rules of robotics: One, be safe. Two, have fun. Three, don't touch the mentors' food! ".

"You're from New York, you can't complain about how cold it is!"

While discussing a way too heavy minibot one of our mentors said, This thing needs to be wheels, motors, a battery and a force field to hold it together.

[A Tech]

-fromt the other room- *SMASH!*
Our mentor:Is the robot okay?
member in room: yeah, thanks for worrying about me...

"Pizza, its whats for dinner... ... and lunch... .. .. and breakfast."

-me- *slams head onto desk*
rookie member: programming stumping you?
me: no its that time of day to slam your head around.

Me at lunch: "I throw my sandwich in the air sometimes, singing a-yo. Where's the mayo?"

[DFZXA]

Me talking to one of the builders, "The mecanum wheels are backwards you have to take every single one off now. You mad bro?"

[Stephen of REX]

The other night the programmers were trying to get the line following code to work. They had the robot up on blocks and were watching how the wheels reacted.

"Stephen why isn't it working?"
"The robot won't go because it is up on blocks, you need to let the wheels touch the ground for it to go anywhere."

(Cool part was they then loaded fresh code, put it on the floor, and it worked!)
