"Guys, what's Dean Kamen's last name?"

[endreman0]

We have two years of quotes archived on our website. 2015 and 2016

"Don't look at me with that tone of voice."

"It won't actually explode, and it might even work."

"I don't get why people are afraid of sparking metal." and "It's just lead."

"I'm done with everything that requires distractions."

K: "What shade of gray is the sky today?"
J: "It's a nice mahogany gray."

"Looks slightly like a deranged dinosaur." - commenting on a 3D-printed potentiometer mount

"I'm pretty sure that black magic is not allowed at FRC competitions." (Although it's never mentioned in the rules!)

"Just push the button until it works." and "We can now say we have pushed all the buttons." - programming, having issues installing Java onto the RoboRio

"It's not hacking, it's cheating with style."

"We're working on the squigglies inside this box." - programming mentor explaining the process of deploying code (the box is the RoboRio)

N: "I scratched myself on a CAN Talon."
I: "Talons are sharp, yes."

"Now we pull the magic stuff, from the magic cloud, into the magic box." - pulling from Github just to deploy to the robot

"Unplug something at random and see if someone screams." - finding a spot for the laptop charger in the computer lab's power strips (the lab's computers don't have batteries, and turn off instantly when unplugged)

"I always get my chair stuck in that foot."

"Do we need a measury thingy?"

Said once, and now an ongoing saying: "That is very much so not quite right."

"Don't put the sparks anywhere where they would hurt anything." Our mentors have an interesting view of safety.

"I don't always open doors before going through them."

"It can't feel my sock." - Protip: touchpads on laptops are designed for fingers, not feet.

"I come bearing gifts for the clan of the churro!" - We have a lot of churros on the bot this year.

EDIT: apparently another member of the team already shared those links. Curses, Lady of Fandoms! /s

"You'd better be coding in lightweight bits." - hardware mentor to chief of software

I use that as a security question on some of our team's systems as well. It is quite hilarious to hear some team members' responses when reading that. Some blanking out that it is right in front of them!
