"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Zac Schofield]

"Wait... our robot has to comply with the rules? Dang it..."

[blackbrandt]

"I'm pretty sure a thousand drunk monkeys slamming their faces on the keyboard using the CLI in AutoCad could build a better CAD model than this....."

"The CAD team models physics and the mechanical team breaks physics"

[Hgree56]

So we built a model of our robot's frame out of wood. We've also made a couple of the defenses, high goal, and the hanging bar. At our meeting last night, I sat in the frame and was "becoming one with the robot." I recall saying at one point: "To build a good robot, you must become a good robot." This was followed by me trying to cross all the defenses, shoot into the high goal, and climb. I impressed my self by scoring 40 points.

I... I actually want to do this now.

It was actually a lot of fun!! Only issue was when I tried to go under the lowbar

"Chicken Butt"

This was originally 3946 for "an idea that is useless or at least very poorly communcated" and has transformed into a question meaning "How does this mechanism accomplish the task?" There's a TL;DR story here: For Aerial Assist (25" diameter ball), we did a brainstorming sessions for ways to acquire and launch the ball. The next session, we were gathering "half baked" ideas to select two or three for further development. A team member drew a picture of a frame perimeter with a ball centered in it as a presentation. Until prompted for details, he gave no indication of how the ball got there, or how it got out of there. A mentor asked if the robot just laid the ball on the carpet like a chicken lays an egg and walked away from it, or what. IIRC, he actually did have answers, but the picture didn't begin to explain the idea.

from a student on the build team: "C-Clamps are like marriage counselors. they make 2 things stay together even though they really don't want to."
