"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Rivet Man]

"Grab the rivet gun...Not that one!"

Best Regards,
RM

[JoaquinC]

"No pressure, but we've got a pneumatic leak!"

[hank2247]

"What were we even doing"
"Watching this makes me physically sick"


Said by our drive team after watching videos of our robot in the az regional during a strategy meeting befor our next regional.

[a2alexa]

"Let's call AndyMark and see what they say."
"Do you think we'll talk to Andy or Mark?"

"Our robot doesn't do half of what we want it to and our competition is in a couple days."
"It's okay, aesthetics are way more important."

*after making a flap out of camouflage duct tape to cover our electronics* "They can't hit what they can't see."

(Every time something goes wrong, whether it was our sole programmer's fault or not) "Stupid programmer."

We call Allen wrenches "Freds." So many times throughout the build season, "Pass me that Fred."
*gets the "Fred" passed over*
"No, the other Fred. This one is too small. I need the Mega-Fred."

[HolyDollar]

*After drilling a hole in the robot, using a shop vacuum to suck up the shavings
*Shavings are still on the robot
Mentor A: "I don't think that shop vac did anything..."
Me: "Well it certainly did suck!"

Mentor B:"Can you measure out this piece for the robot?"
*Our team captain measures it out
Team Captain: "This measures out to be 31 and the line after 3/4 inches."

*After failing to get a bolt secured in a hard to reach place
Me:"Man, this is so frustrating!"
Mentor C:"Well, you just gotta self-tap 'em, baby!"

*After someone cut a piece too short
Student A to our team captain:"So this piece is too short; what do you think I should do now?"
Team Captain:"Just cut it longer."

Also, the quotes "Aww, yeah" and "We need to work on that one" (taken from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7Vgs8xisQo)were said by most of our team about a million times this season.

We call them Oeschgerisms after our head mentor (who wrote them on the wall). The list has continued to grow.

My team keeps track on a webpage, linked here: http://frc4131.github.io/media/2016/quotes.html

[Ashley Hartley]

"Those little Stryke Force airplanes are like glitter, they get everywhere."

[3072Cap]

"Hand me that hammer."
"No, left. Left. Leeeeeft. Dear god, I'll get it."

"Do you guys think our shooter will be outlawed if there is a gun ban?"

"We don't need to scale. The robot already thinks that it's fat."

"You can be the official nut-holder." -Personal Fav

"Don't worry, we can E-Stop."
"WHY WON'T YOU E-STOP!?"

While going through OSHA safety powerpoint at the beginning of the year:
Coach: What kind of injuries can result from improper use of tools?
*from around the room, various people say things such as "cuts," "burns," etc*
Some random new kid from the back: Decapitation.


At the beginning of the year, while the coach is asking people their names for the sake of all the new people...
Coach: *asks a guy his name*
Guy: *ponders for a moment* Batman.
Everyone laughs.
Coach: No, but seriously. What's your name?
Guy: *ponders again* Robin.
Coach then proceeds to frantically ask everyone what his name is as he keeps telling us it's Robin, but no one can remember. Turns out his name really is Robin. From then on, I called him Batman. I still do to this day.

This isn't from build season but was from when we went to the Orlando Regional.
MC: Just a reminder there is a penalty if you have more than one boulder at a time.
Shelby: I've got two boulders right here!(as she hugs her chest)

THE GOAT NEEDS A BOW TIE!!!!!!!!!

Talking about how we can use the Andymark goat for chairmans.

A bit of context:
At the southwest district competition, we had to borrow another joystick because a robot ran into the wall during the autonomous period of a match and knocked our driver's station off, rendering our right joystick completely useless. (Sadly we didn't find that out until after the match, and it was our last match of the day.) So we went to the lowest ranked team and asked them if we could borrow theirs. After they gave us one, I had to run it back to them because the USB was bent. When I returned it, asking for the other one, the response was:

"Oh yeah, that's the one that Chase stepped on."

Thanks again to team 617 for loaning us your joystick, even though we didn't end up using it. We appreciate the show of GP.

"If you just say 'gracious' a bunch of times, they'll love you, even if you say no. 'Graciously we graciously decline graciously your graciously gracious request graciously.'"

Heard while standing in line as my team's rep for the alliance selection.


Coach: Alright guys, look around, do you see anything else we might need to have with us at competition?
Evan: *picks up a random nut off the floor* Do we need this nut?

My favorite one that I use each year is "Having FUN yet?!"

Best used when something has just broken...
