"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Brandon Zalinsky]

"That thing could have blown up in your face!"
"You'd be dead!"

-Students from 1058 after we discovered that the tread was seperating from the wheel by 1/4" on our prototype pitching machine type shooter (it was spinning at 3000 rpm)

I guess that's why we have safety glasses...

[smileydude560]

Said by our CAD mentor when we discovered that our bolt heads on our spockets were .01 inches away from our other wheels:
"As the limit of bolt heads distance to wheels approaches zero, the robot stops working."

me: ...Does your son have any loose teeth?
We can nab the tooth fairy so we can get in touch with the rest of the magical holiday beings...

i totally agree it's amazing to me to see how similar teams can be even though they can be totally different at the same time. My mentors taught me that "the impossible only takes a little longer"

"Think of it like this. You're Luke Skywalker, and the field coach is your targeting computer. Now, you can turn off the targeting computer... but if you do, you had better blow up the Death Star."
