"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Dumper FTW 435]

"The robot is horribly overweight. We need to delete some code"

Me to team member named Charlie: You're job is to make sure i don't mess up.
5 minutes later I try to tap a hole that I forgot to drill all the way through
Me: CHARLIE!!!! WHAT DID YOU DO?


our engineering lead: Think not what a robot can do for you, but what you can do to get the sucker done. Now.

Mentor: What if we tried a turret idea?
Everyone in our workshop: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
(We've had a lot of bad experiences with turret designs)



Rookie: What if we pulled up the tubes with suction?
Engineering lead: hahahaha. That would never work.
5 minutes later...
Mentor: We should do suction!!!!

(Our current design is to use suction. The rookie will never let us forget that it was his idea)
