"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Amelixa]

"Ok, I'm enabling the bot. Move your head or you'll get skewered."

"Oh hey, are you learning electrical?"
"I'm learning something..."

"(Points at David who is wearing a red and white stripped shirt) I found Waldo!"
"I've really got to stop wearing this shirt."

Our animation mentor is a mechanical engineer so he doubles up helping out with the robot.
Kind of a good example of the difference between how a mechanical engineer thinks and how a programmer thinks.

Animation Mentor: Darn it, I think I tied the sting on the wrong side of the window motor. Ah well, I can always untie and retie it when we figure out which direction the motor is rotating.

Programming Mentor: (points at the AM) No we don't! We can CHANGE it in the code!

Animation Mentor: well...(points back at PM) I don't care! I'm animation!

(I'm sorry about this long lead-up to the actual content. A thorough understanding of what you are about to hear is necessary for it to actually make sense)
About half of the people on our robotics team is an avid member of our schools table tennis club.
Today one of these multi-club members (MCM) was setting up a table, whose net-holder-bot was stripped at and around the length of the threads required to apply any force to the table.
Our club meets in the cafeteria. One of the other MCMs notices him walking toward the broken net-holder, holding three wrapped straws and two plastic knives.
MCM 1 looks MCM 2 in the eyes and says with a straight face:
"It's OK. I've got tools."

"Our robot is now can-bus free"

Not really during build season, but last week in class (our robotics team is run as a class for an elective credit), I was half asleep with a headache, and while organizing the tool chest:
R: *pulls out small box of random drill bits* This definitely needs to be organized.
Me: Yeah, just a bit.
R: Ha, I see what you did there...
Me: What? Oh, wait...

everyone: ‎"which one?" Alex, Alex, Andrew, Andrew, Andrew and Andrew
We have so many people w/ the same last name. Last year we resulted in calling all the matt's M1-M5 etc...

Everyone else: WHOA!
Programmers never show up except for max who is a senior.

"Okay, come to me if you need any... crap." -Patrick
He was intergrator xD

‎"do we have robot insurance?" - Andrew
This goes with the OUR ROBOT CAN FLY

‎"Patrick, You're in charge of ordering shits." - M5
Matt meant to say shirts...and he said shits

Something I just remembered. Someone stuck a sticker on our robot saying: "Do not use as a flotation device."

And by the way, I DON'T know why it was stuck on there.

[The Zevling]

"Scoring a tube after deploying a minibot is the Gracious Professional equivalent to flipping the bird."

"Congratulations to our FIRST team coming back from the championships in St. Louis." (We all applaud) "Remember, if you're not FIRST, you're last!" - Our pilot on the second plane back home.

Waiter: "Can I get your empty glasses?"
Me and several other people reach for our safety glasses in our pockets...

Our safty captain spelled safety wrong so he is no longer safety captain he is safty captain and that lead to many quotes

Due to a printing error, we no longer have a safety captain either... We have CAPTAIN SAFETY!

Rookie: Maybe we should paint our robot next year?
Veteran: No. It would just wash off during the water game.

[Kimmeh]

Student: "If it's possible maybe we could..."
Chad: "Everything is possible. Just depends on how much it costs and how much physics you have to apply..."

[FRC4ME]

"Something worked...I think."

not from our team, but at denver regionals, I was looking at someone's robot (don't remember whose) and one of the kids in the pit sat up crosslegged and said to his teammates "look guys I'm a scissor lift"
