sigh, so many times from our mechanical sub-team:

"that's what she said"

[JLenhart]

*Well, it sounds like a software problem.*
*Well, it sounds like a hardware problem.*
*Like a boss.*

[El Geffe]

Mentor - "Is that lexan or acrylic"
Student - "I think it's lexan" *Bends piece just cut* Snap! *Shards fly everywhere* "Opps, I ment acrylic."

[basicxman]

Mentor: "I created perpetual motion!" <he was kinda serious for a few moments>

Thats everyday at my high school. The engineering+robotics kids are the worst and it is HILARIOUS. lol

"That is not going to fit" (when talking about a screwdriver with a screw) then they reply "thats what she said"

So........everyday! lol

Me: <explains to a group of programmers what we're doing next>
Student 1: "So, what are we doing?"
Student 2: "We're coming with Josh."
Me, very frustrated: "No, it's not time to come yet!"
Female student: "That's what she said?"

I was unable to recover any semblance of authority for the remainder of the day.

there is no way to be on the build team and not crack those jokes! when you don't, you know you are either a) behind b)so tired you shouldnt be oporating the machinary or c) someone annoying said it....

anyways, even me, a girl, cracks them it makes the build day... more... interesting

"the robot will be ready for driver practice within the hour"

"we're close" (said by software...)

[plnyyanks]

Building stuff is not important. Controls is the essence of robotics

Quote of my life...

Wait what? Do tell.

Forgot about this one until today.

"We're doing FIRST." - Some mentor as I can't remember exactly who said it (Terry Sherman?)

For an explanation, that phrase is used to describe the act of completing, living up to, or acting out FIRST's core ideals like gracious professionalism for example.

[demosthenes2k8]

Mentor: "GUYS! I have to act responsible and tell you to knock it off. On the record, you guys need to stop."
Me: "But off the record..."
Mentor: "I find it hilarious."

Mentor: "Sometimes life takes you by surprise at three in the morning."
Me: "O...kay?"
Mentor: "And decides to throw up on the lobby carpet."
Me: "I don't like this analogy anymore."
Mentor: "Well, someone came in late last night with someone who had clearly been having a good time."
Me: "Eew."
Mentor: "Poor Matt, the first time he gets an analogy and it ends up being the actual story."

Student: "So, Matt, Dean's List Winner and good role model for all FIRST students, why are you teaching M how to count cards?"

Mentor: "Shush! Jerry's talking! That doesn't EVER happen."

[Zuelu562]

Me: "Engineering is a constant battle between what you want to do and how physics loves to massacre your design."

[demosthenes2k8]

(Sorry about posting again so quickly...)

Student: (Note that his family owns a relatively well-known chicken farm) "How'd they make a thousand cupcakes in two hours? It takes me five hours to make one batch!"
Mentor: "That's because you have to wait for the chicken to lay the eggs!"
