"Quotes" that were said during build season

[lorem3k]

"Who's ready to strip some greasy old trannies?" (Referring to old transmissions, of course.)
"You can play basketball, right? Let's just cut your legs off and put you on the drivetrain."
"It doesn't need to fit right now, we'll just let it 'self-machine'."

Due to the frequency with which we do this on our team, we have agreed upon the standardized term "self-clearance".


NOTE: Actually, it is often meant as a joke, but not always. Saying that you are 'breaking in' a P60 (banebots transmission), a very common practice recommended my many here on CD, you are really running it until it stops grinding itself into dust due to the colliding gears not fitting together properly. Using this technique for pneumatic wheels rubbing against a transmission output shaft is another story.
