Nighty night. Don't let the vex bot bite

S: You have a butt under your butt!

J: I have a pun under my bun!

A few of us in a car back from Monty Madness 2012 (Naturally, 341 kicked bot up and down the field, eliminating us in the finals for the THIRD time this season):

Freshman Scout: "So... We lost to Miss Daisy again, huh?"

Sophomore: "Y'know, I still say we should've just mounted, like, a circular saw on our robot; just use it on Daisy, like *NEEYEOW!*."

Me (Scouting Captain): "Now -THAT'S- what I call a Daisy Cutter!"

We didn't have our adapter for our bridge but we needed to test it. One kid said:

Kid: "We can just use paperclips"
Me: "No we will just do it tomorrow"
Kid: *uses paperclups anyway*
Bridge: *Explodes*

[mlantry]

(can't say the actual word) FUDGE!!! We lost Com with the robot

[jessss]

One of the girls on our team after the kickoff

Sophie: "So where do we buy the robot and can it be pink?"
Me: "Sophie, you don't buy the robot you build it and no we're not painting our robot pink."

"You guys the coopertition bridge isn't that important"
(after three matches at champ)
"You guys we're ranked 56 and we've won all three of our matches so far yet we haven't gotten any coopertition points. I guess I misjudged the importance of the coopertition bridge."

A reporter at champs: "So what's your robots name?"
Me: "Our robots actual name or our team's name?"
Reporter: "Your robot has a name?"
Me: "Yeah it's name is Javier"
For the rest of the interview the reporter called our robot by it's name and our whole team burst out laughing

R: "I used to play with balls... but then I took an arrow to the knee"

[Walter Deitzler]

"It turned me into a gay, roman statue!"

"It was like unh sparkle sparkle unh sparkle sparkle..."

[VexisDarksteele]

When we were designing the robot, the main designer was presenting his concept to the group:
Us: "So...how does it score?"
Him: "Well, it can either launch balls out the front for short-range, or it can kinda... fart them out the back for the top rack."
Someone else: "I'm surprised you didn't say burp for the frontal scoring."

*I'm cringing as our coach misspells a sizable amount of words on the whiteboard.*
Me: "Uh... that's wrong, that's wrong, and I don't even know what you were trying to say there."
Him: *Starts correcting as I tell him the proper spellings.* "Now what on earth am I gonna do when my SpellCheck graduates next year?"
Me: "If I'm spellcheck, do you want me to walk up to the board in the middle of your lectures now and underline wrong spellings in red marker?"

——

"Oops... Rye needs plastic surgery again." (When our mascot lost its wing.)

"Lets not have wheels on the robot this year. Lets just have an awesome shooter, sit on the key, and have people feed us."

Needless to say, that idea wasn't even allowed on the whiteboard

"The coopertition bridge is so dangerous. Lets try and avoid it the best we can."

This met idea met the same fate as the bot without a drivetrain idea

I legitimately believed until championships that there would be a few robots that just sat in the feeder lane and could shoot full court three-pointers. I was proved wrong.

Did somebody say no wheels?

Remember this?

Sorry... It was just a joke.

For any CSI fans out there,

"Righty Tighty Lefty Loosy.... Your going the wrong way!" Thats what we always like to say when someones working, just to annoy them.
