Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

One of our members was talking about work today, and one of our coaches said that "money is good".
The team member's response was "But money isn't as good as robotics"

One of our team members had pumped a wheel too much and it exploded. A container holding rubbing alcohol burst and the immediate response was "was that another wheel!"

"Umm, Autodesk is saying it is going to take 1155 days and 116 hours until the download is complete but it said 784 days and 9 hours two minutes ago. Is that a problem?"

"So how are the designs going?"

"Well, it's taking longer than expected, which was to be expected."

"What?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

In the car on the way back from IRI:

"... and when my friend found out I was on the robotics team, she wanted me to build her a demonic robot army to take over the world..."
very quiet thoughtful voice from back: "...but... what about gracious professionalism?"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Whenever we were about to do something risky for the robot we would ask our mentor for more elaboration on how to complete the task. He would respond with "Very Carefully" no matter what it was.
