"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Joseph DeRoest]

When my dad drops me off at our shop: "Have fun, make friends, break things."

The team's famous last words: "In theory, ..." (I know, so original!)

When said theory breaks down during competitions: "It all worked at the shop!"

My response to the theory breakdown: "...That is pathetic."

1. From a mentor to me, the programmer, "If it ain't tested, it don't work"
2.The team's favorite quote from a student when a motor started smoking, "It's catching on smoke!"
3. The famous, "Just give me one more minute"
4. it was said of one student, "If he can't break it, it can't be broken"

A personal favorite of mine was "This robot is held together with 4/40 hardware and tears."

When we were watching footage of our bin raker in slow motion, a student who couldn't see the video said this:

"What are you watching? An earthquake?"

A team member and I were measuring the dimensions of our new trailer for CAD modeling. We are both holding a tape measure above our head to try to measure a part.

Phil "What's the measure!?!"
Me "2..... 2...... 2......" *Can't get a good read*
Phil "2 What Logan!?! 2 What!?!"
*I drop the tape measure and start cracking up laughing...*

*Looking at scouting data on an excel spreadsheet*
*Non-Scout comes up* "That team must be amazing. They have a 9 in that category where everyone else has a 0 or 1."
Me: "Considering that category is 'step bins in auto', someone done messed up"
Non-scouter: "Oh"

I wish you could convert them more easily. Our workshop gets a little cluttered when you have to keep separate sets of pens, pencils, erasers, etc. for imperial and for metric.

And don't even get me started on screwdrivers...

Random Team Member - "What is wrong with the shop vac?" as a sawdust fountain appears at the exhaust.
Me - "Did you put the filter back on when you dumped the sawdust?"
RTM - "What filter?"

This leads to a trip back to the dumpster to retrieve the filter paper. After 20 minutes, the shop vac is once again ready and the power switch is flipped. <Sawdust Fountain>

RTM - "But we put the filter back on."
Shop vac is opened, showing the filter laying in the bottom of the tank.
Me - "Did you put the plastic filter ring back on to hold the filter in place?"
RTM - "What plastic ring?"
Me - "Take it to the WALL OF SHAME (the place for broken tools and equipment) until we can order a new one."
