"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Reeve L.]

Electrical Lead: "Should I wire that?" Became our 2012 catch phrase...

[nxtmonkeys]

Me: OK, so i'll give the joystick a little nudge foreward and...
(pushes the joystick about 5 degrees foreward, robot then proceeds to ram itself into the wall at high speeds)
Other team member: OK. WHO SCALED UP THE JOYSTICK VALUES?



Visitor: Did that camera on the robot just move?
me: No.
(visitor walks over to a table. camera swivels to follow him.)
Visitor: I swear that it just moved again.
(looks at me with my hand on the joystick. The camera swivels back to where it was before. The visitor looks back at it and yells)
Visitor: HAHA!

Mentor: "Hey Troy, can you hand me a washer?"
Me: "Washer? I barely know her!"

Our programmer is setting up autonomous as the robot goes zooming across the room, his comment:" that would be a factor of two".

[Jacob Bendicksen]

"MORT in Hawaii... I am only reminded of that lemur thing from Madagascar."

[Amo10]

"I could fit like 10 dead bodies in this" (the bag and tag bag)

[Kevin Selavko]

"We had more 20 point catches than 10 point ones"

The other aliances robots were playing heavy defence on our guys and two times the other alliance caught our ball.

[Oblarg]

(After changing code whilst queued for the umpteenth time): "Who was it that said that you shouldn't have a programmer on your drive crew? Because they're horribly wrong."

[TigerMania]

"Where's the win button?"

[SaxophoneKing]

"When they (...) Crap! It's gonna be dark!"
(reply) "When they crap, It's gonna be dark?"

"SolidWorks says no."

Our coach actually thinks it's necessary to have a programmer on the drive team came especially in handy when we had to reboot the cRIO mid-match.

The sad thing is that it is probably true!

This only gets better.... I asked him later on why the bodies had to be dead and his answer was so that they would stack better! Apparently Breaking Bad can teach you some usefully life lessons...

Two of my team mates and I were sitting in a corner. I said "Why are we all sitting next to each other?" Kelly said "Group mentality." I said "Nik is an introvert, I am insane... why would you want to get group mentality of that?"

[Shrub]

We were driving back from a regional once (I know it doesn't count) and I spoke in my sleep the whole way back to school (I was riding shotgun) about making the Kazakstani Embassy a sponsor and making our robot out of potassium.

Also, one of our team members is very well known for always tipping over the container of zipties we have, and when I put my hair up zipties are usually placed in it (or in my braids), so there was the usual cry of "ZIPTIES!" once every few days of build (especially towards the end).
