Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Student 1: Ah crap, my computer blue screened
*Everyone laughs
Student 2: Wow, the error code is just a bunch of zero's

Mentor 1(from across the room): Did you completely screw in the hard drive that mentor 2 gave you?
Student 1: The screws didn't fit, but I duck taped it really well...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Literally as I was posting this:

Student 1: ... snap the necks of baby bunnies
Mentor 1: You snap the necks of baby bunnies?!?!?!?!
Student 1: No, that's not what I -
Student 2: It's an accident every time...

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"Ghetto"
This phrase is used so much on my team. Whether it be duct tape, a bent screw or bolt, or any wacky engineering it's described as ghetto. I originally had no idea how to use this as an adjective, but I guess I've had to sort of get the hang of it on this team.

Good to know were not the only ones who use it regularly. Many of our components are "ghetto rigged"

Our robot last year was nicknamed "Ghettobot" due to the fact that the climbing mechanism relied on the destruction of zip ties every time in order for it to work, so we only had one shot at a 10 point climb.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

As a second year team, we're still learning a lot.

"The robot doesn't work"

"Why is it doing that?"

"Where does this go?.....well it fits here!"

"What is this and what does it do?"

"How do I robot?"

"I'm still disappointed it wasn't a water game"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Had a great quote from one of our mentors who was trying to explain field orientation for driving.

"Field orientation is like a homing pidgeon that can fly backwards."

Needless to say, this is going on our team's shirt.
