Mentor: What if we throw the totes across the field to knock over their stacks?
Student: That's definitely illegal...
Mentor: It might be illegal but think about how much fun it would be.

"look, guys! I just bit a hole in this Coke can while sitting here!"

Rest of us, "good . . . job?"

Also: Mentor, "What if we made like a stack foundry that just sat there and unfolded all this pvc infrastructure! Totes go in the top, and stacks come out the bottom! Also it would be compatible with federal manufacturing safety laws."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

A week before the season begins:

To prove his manly dominance, one team member (won't mention names) is having a push-up contest with the remainder of the Electrical Team.

I notice uproarious laughter in another room, so I walk in and ask, "What's going on here?"
"We're having a push-up contest."
"So... everyone's laughing because you lost miserably, right?"

The laughter doubles as the guy frantically says, "No! I haven't started yet!" An electrical team member gives me a high-five.

Day two of the build season:

"Where's the set of metric Allen wrenches, guys?"
"Oh, they're in Narnia."

...it turned out that the person who asked the question actually had a bin of parts called "Narnia" in FLL, though of course that was years ago. The conversation ended with:

..."But Narnia doesn't really exist, right?"
"Of course it exists! It just exists in your imagination."

Such beautiful words... *wipes away a tear*

Day three of the build season:

"Hello, sir! What's your name?"
"My name is Gabe."
"How's your hat?"
"Hat's fine. It's rather angry, as always."

(It might make a little more sense if you saw it. Here's a video link.)

I think I'm going to be posting here a lot.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Does the router need a hard reset?
(goes and grabs a large hammer that says hard reset on the side of it)

Mechanical team member who knows nothing about electronics: We redid some of your wiring.
Electronics: What did you change?
Mechanical: we switched the output numbers for the motor controllers because the mecanum wheel programming guide said to put them in a different order
Electrical: I use a certain order to make troubleshooting easier, put it back to how it was by Monday and fix it in the programming or have fun trying to scrape the epoxy off the electronics connectors.
(it was fixed right away)

Every time we clean, we can't find anything anymore!

G: "That mechanism isn't viable"
M: "Not with that attitude at least."

I also read a few scripts in the most overly dramatic voice I could muster today to help students edit.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

During a random conversation about confessions:

Jewish Sophomore "If i had to go to confessions I would probably say something like, 'i have too much to confess so can you just say that my sins have been cleared or something?' yeah. that's what i'd say."

student 1: "see? i fixed it"
