"Quotes" that were said during build season

[ttakashima]

So this is one of the conversations I had with my student.

her: Where is the robot Travis? Is it still at Mr. _____ class?
Me: What did you just say?!
her: Where is the robot?!?! I don't see it here!
Me: Why don't you look down and see what you're holding on to.
her: Oh crap! Forgot it was this! It looks like a table!

So apparently our robot looks like a table - Back to the drawing board!

..."autonomous period for fifteen minutes--"

Quote of the day for progamming: "DEATH TO THE WATCHDOG!!!!"

[demosthenes2k8]

"This code shouldn't have been working!"
"I've been hearing that WAY too much recently."

"We just spent two hours on a problem that fixed itself?"

Several programmers, including me, started singing "Don't Unplug Me" by ALL CAPS today. It was fun, but not a quote. Just crazy.

"My physics is shiny!"

"Come look at the allen wrench drawer! It's all pretty!"

"We dented the robot..."
(It drove backwards in autonomous at 75% speed about five feet into a steel beam...)

"You have to admit, the minibot flying off the pole was pretty friggin' cool. Really, too hip for words"

"Daddy needs an axle, children!"

[TutiFrutti112]

Everyone: Where is the pole? It was here a minute ago!

Me: *notices pole resting on table*

Everyone: *searches frantically*

Mentor: *picks up pole by table* Found it.

Students: I thought it was part of the table!

Me: I noticed it, but I thought it was too obvious so I didn't think it was the one you were looking for.

The room we were working in has a door that only opens from the inside, so when anyone wants to enter, someone has to open the door for him or her. When B and I (I being me, not the letter I) were heading back after a snack, the following scenario occurred.

B: The door is closing! Run!

Me: *takes running step, trips over own feet, nearly falls down steps*

B: I will never tell you to run again.

"Well if the mini-bot self-corrects and rides up without skipping a beat, why are we adding this slow deployment mechanism? Let's just chuck the dang thing!" -Me, to the rest of the mini-bot design team.

[Dawg2T4]

Alright, I have got a few good 'quotes'
Number 1:
Team Leader: "Why isn't there a J22 on the sidecar?"
Me: "Maybe that's why it isn't working right"
Mentor: "No crap thats why it's not working right, where the HELL is the J22?!"

Number 2:
"I see what you did there"

Number 3:
Kid A: "Stop fondling the manipulator!"
Kid B: "Yeah, we don't fondle your Jaguars!"

"I think we may need more than 16 KB of free space on the netbook..."
"Hey! If we delete the temporary internet files, we get another 256 bytes!"

"I'm not allowed to leave, eat, or sleep for 6 weeks" -mentor while talking on the phone with someone.
