OOOOO!!! A piece of Robot.

[Kyle A]

on the bus ride back to the hotel at Queen City Regional, with CIA 291,
The wheels on the robot go round and round, round and round, round and round. The wheels on the robot go round and round, all through the game.
The Frisbees on the robot go SWISHHHHH, SWISHHHH, SWISHHHHH,SWISHHHHH, SWISHHHH, SWISHHHHH,SWISHHHHH, SWISHHHH, SWISHHHHH, The Frisbees on the robot go SWISHHHHH, SWISHHHH, all through the game!

We call ours "Persuasion." We sometimes "persuade" things a little bit more than necessary.

Reminds me of when a parent and I were watching as Volunteers were vacuuming the field after day 1 of the Troy Regional.

Parent: Oh, yep. The end of the day is here. Look, they're vacuuming up robot parts.

Other Mentor: "Why isn't it going nearly as far as we want it to?" *everyone scratches their head*
Me: *smacks head* "DUH....WE FORGOT ABOUT INERTIA."

Rebound Rumble quote.

A member of our team keeps important hardware bits in his mouth.
Member: "Riley keep this keyway safe"
*Pops in mouth*
(hour later) Member: "Your still chewing on that? I dont need it yet hold onto it"
2 hours later we needed the part that Riley had kept safe, hes still chewing on it
He has kept many pieces of hardware safe in this manner and at one of our competitions we took apart our shooter for maintenance. We found a nut lodged in the shooter and blamed it for the problems we had with it.
My joke was: "It musta fallen out of Riley's mouth during build"
*That was not not the case, but it was extremely funny*

Another mentor and I discussing changes we want to make at MCS:

"I need a pyramid and goals and a robot to confirm it but it works in my head"

[Tow]

"If something can't be fiixed with DUCT TAPE, it means you haven't used enough DUCT TAPE"

[mcarobotics]

One day we renamed our hammer "The Hammer of Thor". Many awesome conversations took place:
"I need to hammer this nail."
"Do you require assistance, small human?"
"....yeah...I need the hammer. "
"Did you mean THE HAMMER OF THOR?!?!"
"....uh...sure...."
"THE HAMMER OF THOR SHALL CRUSH THAT NAIL! *smashsmashsmash*

[gixxy]

"There are NO Saw Blades on the robot!" (Said at competition to inspector. Everything we bought was put on the BOM by accident, not just things on the robot, including our new saw blades...)

"That's MY Squid Hat!"

"Why won't the Pi work?" (we used a Raspberry Pi on the Robot)
"Because you haven't threatened to eat it yet!"

"Sort of like a dementor princess?" (looong story)

"So my threaded code is working fine. Its just a bit too stringy"

"Can't we just extract the caffeine from the soda?"

"Well we released the magic smoke on that sensor..."

"How does it shoot so accurately?"
"Sugar rush from that Pi its eating!"

"Hmmm Fried Jaguar, crispy just how I like it."

"Laying out this control board is a game of 4-Dimensional Tetris!" (We had to add a vertical board to fit everything, then where things mounted kept changing over time, so the board size/shape had to keep changing.)

"Well I think it was shorting out. It was so hot, I wanted to make a smore over the wire!"

"Hmm, I love the smell of Flux in the Afternoon"

A "Hey pass me the flux."
B "why?"
A "So I can coat this Capacitor"
C "Ok Doc Brown"

"Joe and I are in Sonic Screwdrivers Autonomous!"

"After Build Season I will teach you all the programmers to Hack, for now lets just get this robot auto-aiming!"

[Jacob Bendicksen]

"It's like strip poker, only with robots."

We like to call ours "el persuador" or my favorite "the fine precision tool"

"Look at me! I'm Iron Man"

Not during build season, but...we have a short girl in our team named Kristen, and we use her height as a standard measurement for length. At kickoff, when we were measuring the pyramid, I told her to go inside of it to get the measurements. Out of curiosity, I asked for her to stand next to the levels of the pyramid, and the top of her head barely touched the 2nd level! Because of that, whenever somebody asked for the measurement of the 2nd level, we told them "It's exactly 1 Kristen!" Of course, we got weird looks...
We continue to keep on using the Kristen measurement:
"How tall do you think that is?" "I would say about 2 and a half Kristens"
