"Quotes" that were said during build season

[PayneTrain]

"You know why I want to go to championships?"
"Why?"
"To meet JVN."
"Maybe you can rub his head."
"I hope he's cool with that."
"He has to be."

[pmangels17]

As my signature says:

"Badum Badum Badum"
"Was that the robot?"
"i don't know, do it again"
"Badum Badum Badum"
"Oh, now it's on fire."

Note: Our robot has NOT caught on fire.

[DampRobot]

For probably the tenth time this season, I turned to a fellow designer and said:

"This is probably the hardest design I have ever worked on."

[Qbot2640]

I don't want to hear anybody call someone a "stupid idiot"...the proper term of endearment this year is "incompetent jerk."

"So I got in this debate with some guy on CD about how often teams will climb a 3, and I just realized that the other guy is Dave Lavery..."

[Chris_Ely]

When discussing the reliability of a mechanism that relies on gravity, one team member says "I think gravity is pretty reliable."

Student: Why are there 3 robot completed dates on the calendar?
Other Student: We set dates knowing that we wouldnt accomplish them, so we decided to add more realistic goals.

We have a countdown screen in our programming "empire" with a Ship Day countdown and DEFCON levels relating to the level of work we're supposed to be doing (this almost never correlates with the work we're actually doing ):

DEFCON 0: GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR
DEFCON 1: Programming duties only
DEFCON 2: Anyone is welcome to be productive
DEFCON 3: Anyone is welcome
DEFCON 4: Tomfoolery is welcome
DEFCON 5: Party in the Empire!

One of our mentors thought DEFCON 0 was excessive and coded it out of the countdown screen... was fun while it lasted.

[Dinoyan]

"That was easy"
"Oh yeah"

[andrewthecow]

"You'd be lucky to fit a double jointed toddler in there"

This was a reference to the size of our robot this year relative to those of the past two years.

Student 1: "YOCO! or actually probably more like it: YOFO!"
Student 2: "I thought it was yolo..."
Student 1: "You only climb once... But then I thought better of it and thought that 'you only fall once' would be a better representation..."

[gabrielau23]

"Guyss!!!!! Where's the sharpie!?!?!?"

A: "7/16!!!!"
B: "Nut driver or wrench or rat......."
A: "7/16!!!!!"

"That's a feature."

[CLandrum3081]

Other student:...Building a robot, what else would we do during build season?
