Any good FIRST jokes?

[Briansmithtown]

I don't know whats more controversial, team 118's robot from 2013, or "Bad" calls the reffs made...

One day, I was in yellowstone national park. One hike I was going to do was up a mountain. Shortly before I begin the hike I said
"This will be my ultimate ascent."

One day, while playing basketball, I threw the ball towards the net but it bounced off the backboard and said
"See how the rebound rumbled the backboard?"

One day, I was talking with engineering newbies. We were working too slowly, and so I say
"We must breakaway from the inefficiency."
None of them got it.

Do those belong in the jokes thread or the quotes thread? It's lunacy to think no one would get it; perhaps they just need an aerial assist to find out how great FIRST is.

Why does school have to get in the way of more important things like FIRST? When would we ever need to know about the stuff there teaching in here?

rather I'm on the brink of insanity, or I have a great idea!

... and then, at the end of the six weeks, Dean Kamen emerges from his man cave. If he sees his shadow, he gets tired and goes back to bed and we have one more week of build!







I hope.

I stole 1114's 2008 robot and saran wrapped Andy Baker's trailer. Do those count?

[techtiger1]

I'm pretty sure Karthik still secretly believes that's why they lost IRI that year.

--Aluminum PVC

For this year, several people have accidentally (and truthfully) called it "Aerial Assault" due to the heavy defense.

I asked a freshman to get me a "hydrodynamic spatula with port and starboard attachments and turbo drive" and a sonic screwdriver and she went looking for both.

[The Doctor]

"Excuse me, I'm looking for some spare parts."

"What kind?"

"Well... we need a new robot."

My team just started laughing.

Our pneumatics guys decided to make a pneumatic programming wrench that actually does things.
