My all time favorite...

"SCREW IT! Defensive robot!"

Said by our entire team after every issue.

(taking out rivets at MARC: E pulls out a drill and starts to drill, but it's the wrong size)

E: I need the right size drill bit!

(grabs hammer and proceeds to hammer the rivet out)

"It's not your fault, it's his. He was driving."
"Yeah, he broke the part."
"Which part?"
(Points)
"Oh, shoot. Did I make that?"
"So it's your fault?"
"Nah, still his. He broke it. It was completely structurally sound."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

After going undefeated in quals on Friday, we were talking about other good teams at our regional. One of our drive team members has a stroke of inspiration and says:
"Guys, we haven't played against any of the undefeated teams"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Telling your mentor she should become the Doctor's companion because she's a ginger.

Telling your male mentors they should wear tiaras to the next competition.

Insisting you should play Psy's music but no one will let you.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

During our first year, 2012, Woodie Flowers kissed our robot.

Someone yelled: "No one touch Sandy(our robot), Woodie Flowers just kissed it!"

This year in the Off Season "Re-build"
Mentor's wife in a text message from the hardware store:
"How long do you need the screws?"
Mentor's reply:
"For a few months, at least...what, are they renting them now?
