"Quotes" that were said during build season

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."

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.

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])

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"
