The long running joke for our robot name is "Robusto". Ironically, we weren't allowed to name our robot "Robusto" but it was fine to go to week 1 without a name. We then gained our name in building for Week 3.

This is your big chance to prove to me that in the zombie apocalypse, you'd be more valuable as an ally than as the meat you're made of.

It's going to be very painful for you when a rookie comes along who knows how to induce enough current in that aluminum...

"Hey!, why is there a glove in the robot?"

Said by a mentor as we were putting away our 2014 robot yesterday.

We had a movie night tonight in the classroom (former build space), Men In Black followed by The Goonies.

During the scene in The Goonies where they're about to be hauled out of the wishing well on a bucket: "Hey, who's doing physics problems up front?" Yes, a couple of the kids were trying to estimate how much force on the handle it would take to lift someone.

Did you just pull a bottle of maple syrup from your pocket?

(At competition) "Why is it that every time Darude-Sandstorm plays we do twice as well as we did in our previous match, and do you think we can get the DJ to play it for the next 4 hours?"

After I didn't understand one of the puns by a mentor:

Mentor 1: It's because she's so short! All of the jokes just go right over her head!

After about 10 minutes of not getting any of Mentor 1's puns:

Me: (To mentor 2) I must be really short today!

My team has a t-shirt cannon that we use at football games. A memorable quote, courtesy of one of our mechan subteam members:
"When the band plays the John Cena theme song we should try and shoot a t-shirt into one of the tubas."
Safe to say, we chose not to go through with it for obvious safety concerns (for both the tuba section and us on the receiving end of the band director's probable wrath) but it was funny to think about.

The same thing happened at our homecoming game this year (though without the John Cena reference).

I told one of our freshmen to go get one and he came back with a crescent wrench with metric markings.

One of our field construction guys a few years ago exclusively referred to it an electric screwdriver. Even if there was a drill bit in it.
