"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Doc543]

We bet our mentor we could program the robot to shoot it in the hoop first try.

It went about 2 feet and way of the the right.

Mechanical Standby, it the best time of all team mechanics when you have a wood shop, a 5 1/2 foot tall pile of scrap wood, 4 rookies, and one veteran hyped on energy drinks to lead them all!!!

[ThirteenOfTwo]

Mentor: I'm not sure how helpful looking at old storage mechanisms will be. This game isn't quite like 2006 and 2009, when your intake had to suck a lot of balls.

Students: **snicker**

Mentor: Oh, man, I forgot I'm at a high school! I could have made that joke on purpose!

[Programmer3941]

Student: "I pinched my finger in the safety glasses!"
Safety Captain: "You should have been wearing gloves!"

"Chris, why are you hitting the robot with a wrench? This isn't Team Fortress 2!"

It is possible to finish early. We at 1124 finished our robot yesterday, and we're just bagging today. It felt really weird being done early - enough for me to write a custom dashboard BEFORE ship (er...bag) day.

*On the back of our binder*

1. Always be modest and gracious.
2. Always be open minded.
3. Always be happy to ask & answer questions.
4. Never say "graciously accepts" rather; "enthusiastically accepts".
5. Remain calm at all times.
6. Always be willing to learn; you don't know everything.
7. Always be aware of where your robot is.
8. Have fun.
9. We are a TEAM, not a bunch of individuals derpin' around.
10. Make sure EVERYTHING is plugged in.

We needed a battery to test a motor, and two people brought two batteries. Instead of plugging in one of the batteries to the test Jaguar, someone inadvertently plugged both of the batteries into each other D: D: D: Luckily, someone else noticed a fraction of a second later, and promptly unplugged the leads before any damage was done. Moral of the story: "One table, one battery."

"where is the shooter" or even better "that does not do didly squat"

"I wish this was like TF2 [Team Fortress 2]. We would just swing our wrench at the robot and it would build itself."

"What is it with you guys and hitting me in the face with a robot?"
