Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

During our dinner break, our president of marketing was saying how our top sponser was DEShaw and that we needed a DES name (i.e. DESbot, DESiree, Desdroid)
One person yells out
"DESperate!...
DESk!...
DERP!!!"
Then he pauses for a moment and say,
"Oh, wait."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

This is from a while ago:

During a practice match in 2013, our Frisbee shooter was at about half power.
Old Drive Head: "We need more power!"
Me (In a Scottish accent): "I'm giving it all she's got Captain!"

The ref behind us high-fived me after.

To the member (cadet) we wanted to leave for a few minutes I said "Hey Zack, go find me a metric crescent wrench."

"Wait, where are the bumpers?" at check-in after forgetting them at Bryant... and Northeastern... and NECMP

Student 1: "This is why we pay him the big bucks"
Student 2: "Wait why don't I get paid?"
Student 1: "Because we deduct his salary from yours"
Student 2: "Oh"

Student 1: "You can't change the downstream pressure below 60 psi"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

After one of our matches at champs, looking at the robot:
Drive coach: Wait... What's that gray tab?
Me: Uhm... I think that's from the battery
Coach: So you mean to tell me, that you broke the unbreakable batteries?
Me: :V Well... Yes?
Coach: $@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#! We just ordered these! Stop pushing so $@#$@#$@#$@# hard

Breaking batteries later became a running joke at champs... We still have the battery

"So, to drive have mecanums we are going to have them in a trapezoid shape. Are the programmers confident in getting that working?"

"Yeah, sure no problem."
