Go to Post How the mentors of a team inspire their team is unimportant, as long as the team is inspired to do great things. We on 1824 believe in 'student designed, student built', but that does not mean that all teams should do as we do. For inspiration comes in many forms. - Daniel_LaFleur [more]

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

After many hours of hard and tiring work cadding and ordering parts on super bowl Sunday, our mech lead uttered the following words:

"I take straight bathroom cleaner"

...enough said.

"You can't skeet the Skoat!", has become one of our new chants in the stands.

During our scouting/pick list discussion, our drive coach said the following:

"Their drive team is kinda like a weather balloon, they just float around."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

At competition after trying to explain a snippet of code to our buisness mentor:
Mentor: "I find it so cute how you keep trying to explain it to me like you think I'll understand"

Me: "Why didn't we do X [much simpler way]"
Build Leader: "Don't ask questions!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

After catching a pair of fingernails in a belt sander -

"Bishop (team mentor), I think I sanded off my fingertips."

"Well, what'd you do that for?"

--

"Maybe you could catch a ride to the convention center with Bishop."

"No. BISHOP RIDES ALONE."

--

"Of course it doesn't work. That'd be too easy." - lots of times

--

"It's not a Sawzall, remember. It's a Sawzmost."
