"Quotes" that were said during build season

[gyroscopeRaptor]

Our robot was just being assembled and we were verifying the colors of the jags with software so we don't grind any gears. The robot breaker was off, and someone asked what color they should be. Someone replied, "they should be yellow/orange", and then the programmer came up and said "if they are any color, they are defying physics."

"Ok, this size is... made in China?!" - freshman putting away drill bits

"Who has two thumbs and just used the bandsaw?" <gestures> "This girl!"

Software: What will you do while we have the robot?
Mechanical: We will debug stuff.
Software: How do you do that?
Mechanical: It's like your debugging, except it hurts more.

As one of the build members holds up a piece of metal with holes drilled in it "look, it's already weight optimized!"

"And the estimated machining time for this part is...20000 hours."

Nathan (team captain): "So... If we make our robot's base circular, we won't need bumpers, because there are no vertices for the inspectors to measure eight inches from"

Robots are required to use Bumpers to protect all exterior vertices of the Frame Perimeter. For adequate protection, at least 8 in. of Bumper must be placed on each side of each exterior vertex (see Figure 4‑1, Figure 4‑2, and Figure 4‑3).

By rule 27 (the only rule defining the coverage of bumpers), bumpers are considered legal as long as they measure eight inches from each exterior vertex on your robot. The question is.... what if there are no vertices to measure from?

Or PVC dust...I'll just leave this picture here and say that I really, really enjoyed the shower that I took when I got home from the shop.

Eunice: "Hey Callie, will you help me take the tower off?
Callie: "Sure thing! Do you want me to suppress it or hide it?"
Eunice: "....I meant in real life."
*Then we both burst out into fits of giggles.*
I had obviously been CADding to long..... Awh Yeah.

Matt: "...and here is our drive system that.."
Judge: "Please allow a student to speak and explain your team's robot."
Matt" "I am a student.. I just have a beard."
Judge: "..Oh I'm sorry! Please, carry on."


That awkward moment when the bearded kid on your team is mistaken for a mentor.
