"Quotes" that were said during build season

[frcguy]

(While watching Team 16's reveal)

Student 1: "Wow, nice swivel drive"

Students 2 & 3 in unison: "Uh, no"

[Thayer McCollum]

159 actually started writing a quote o' the day on a whiteboard this year. This meant that our captain was constantly being texted every hilarious thing anyone said all season.

Some of the best

"Hey Calvin? Is it hot?"
(He asked us every time he picked something up if it was hot, the one time he didn't ask... well...)

"My welds have CHARACTER!"
(Speaking of his very not pretty welds)

"It's an angle protractor"
(From myself)

"Oh by the way don't wear polyester"
(Said to girl whose soccer shorts were now full of holes [They were cutting bolts with an angle grinder])

[TheDoctor_1]

Our team has quite the knack for "PUNishment" as we refer to it, consequently I hear, "We have a STRONG HOLD on this year's game."

Also:
"I CAN'T CHANGE THE COLOR!" (long story)
and finally,
"ZAP! You're inspired!"

"You gotta have balls to get balls."

"You're not hardcore unless you live hardcore."

"(Name) get me some females (talking about crimps)" *Comes back with girl

"Hey (Name) can you get me a flashlight?" *walks up to bin with drills and flashlights in it. *Picks up right angle drill "This isn't a flashlight!" *Walks away

P1: "Worst case scenario, the thing turns on on its own, starts flailing around and destroys another robot. We can't consider those miniscule probabilities as reasons for failing inspection."
Me: "No, worst case scenario, the thing breaks off the hinge, punches a hole in the ceiling, flies across the street into the Edward Jones Dome, lands on another robot, causing them to explode and the whole arena to catch on fire."
Mentor: "See, this is why I have concerns when I let you guys design this stuff."

[Zuelu562]

Driver: "TORTUGA! TORTUGA!"...
*Seconds later* Me: "Well, the worst that can happen here is our PD exploding..."

Our final match of Saturday at NEBOS, we ended up dying on/just beyond a defense (IIRC, our tread broke [again...]), and 238 was trying to finish the breach, and, not very obviously at first (First quote), gave them permission to do whatever they needed to get over, even if it required our robot to tip. They succeeded, without FULLY tipping our bot, leading to the second quote.

Funny moment from our repair disaster zone that was NEBOS.

The whole list:
"I feel awkwardly clean"
"I can't hear you over the sound of my own mistakes"
"If I can do it with a sandwich in one hand you can do it too"
"Just mount the ball"
"We're going to kill him with his mistakes"
"I'm pretty relaxed about my drinking habits"
"That's it. I'm never taking my shirt of again"
"It's an engineering problem"
"That's not mine. Someone else will fix it"

Person 1: "I can't get this into the shaft, what should I do?"
Person 2: *examines it* "Just use elbow grease"
Person 1: "Ok, Where is the elbow grease?"

The Saturday right before Worlds:

Me: What about that thing?
R:They got it.
Me: You mean the thing that only you know how to put together?
R: They can figure it out.

N: Can we put our drive team coach on stilts?

G: For every minute you play Pentatonix you have to pay each of us a dollar.
Me: Letmethinkaboutthatno

JJ: Are you just waiting for funny things to say?

(we named our two new batteries after myself and my co-captain)
Me: I checked after lunch. You're at 114% and I'm at 111%
R: What?
Me: Think about it. 'Put me on the robot'

[frcguy]

Student 1: "Why are you sitting on the floor making a square out of plywood and angle?"

Student 2: "It's my drivetrain for Skystalker-er-er."

Student 1: "Get back to work."

[kmckay]

When I tossed a roll of tape to a student expecting her to catch it: "What are you doing?! I'm in robotics, I don't sports!"

[Jellypickles234]

"These are the real cyber hours"

"True design is not democracy"

"Don't bleach the couch"

Me when trying to do manufacturing stuff: "He needs an extruder!"

[Jellypickles234]

Also,

"Stab stab scoop!" -Shout out to Team SPORK

Scouting meeting at state:

"I'm not saying anything, but..."
*Holds up sign that says Don't Decline*

[svpracer]

*Me after putting our practice robot back together*
"So if it stops working, I know who put it back together"
