Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

I must first give context: I joined team 2077 when it was still the best kept secret in school, and have seen massive team growth over the years. My first two years, we had almost no money left after build and comp. This year, I had the pleasure of finding out we have a good deal of money left after comp and build, and running around shouting:
"GUESS WHAT!!! WE AREN'T BROKE!!!!!!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Executive Director of B&G Club my team is out of (who is involved, but not actively working on robot) walked into the workroom the Tuesday before competition while I am doing some last minute packing. Our bagged robot is sitting on the cart, with enough slack on the bag to nearly double bag the robot! She goes "Where's the robot?"

I reply "You wouldn't believe it, but there's a robot under all that plastic."

Can't remember the exat words so I'm paraphrasing here, but a person on my team said the Skunkworks (1983) skunk was sexy.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

At Bedford last week Angus(aka angusfailed) said, while putting together our shelfs, which are made of 4 posts and 4 shelves, made the genius remark 'put the corners on first' we still haven't let let him forget it. Also the week before our mentor, lordship bacon (don't ask why it just is), said 'well this just proves you don't need to make a working robot to win!' This is because our robot wasn't exactly done at the end of the 6 weeks but we still won so #notlast!!!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Our WFFA mentor: "Dendrite is spelled with an 'I'!?!?!? I've been lied to my whole life!!!!!"
Yes, it's as random as it sounds.

And, after winning Engineering Inspiration today at Chesapeake, me to our hyperventilating drive coach: "That Industrial Safety Award winner will have to use their CPR knowledge on YOU!" Happy day!

"It looks like a zombie PWM!"

Team Leader: It may be a good idea to build another arm.
Team Captain (while holding up a picture of Dikembe Mutombo): No no no! Not today!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

My team has a list of all of our memorable quotes somewhere, but my favorites were when we 'advertised' our buttons while giving them away at the Wisconsin Regional.

"It's the thing you always wanted to Christmas but your parents never got you.
Guaranteed to not allow you to breathe in space.
May or may not grant immortality.
Cures you of diseases you didn't know you had.
Pays the taxes you didn't know you had to pay.
Fends of werewolves.
Deflects invisible bullets.
Fills that hole in your heart.
Guaranteed to stick to your shirt when applied properly."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"We've created A.I. Uh-oh..."


During a demo a few days ago we were showing off our robot (we're not going to St. Louis so we unbagged it), and it broke. When we disabled it, the compressor was still running somehow.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"Our offseason project this year is Skynet right?"

"How many degrees are we off?"
"By my calculations...yes."

"You know what, it would help if the tray pivot was a little higher than the bottom of the goal...."

(When I was on team 562) "IZZY! WHY DO THE BUMPERS SAY 295!!!!"
"Oh my god I'm so sorry!!"
"Just kidding, it's upside down." (Our numbers were very blocky, so 2 and 5 were very similar, and obviously, the 6 upside down looks like a 9)
