Re: Favorite Robotics Quotes 2004
Here's an oldie but a goodie that was uttered more than a few times during the elimination rounds in Long Island.
"Ugly can win"
Those who saw matches 2 and 3 of the finals will understand completely. Final scores of 35-30 and 35-15. It wasn't pretty, but it sure was sweet.

I just found this one in my journal from January 19th, right when Ian Mackenzie and I (mostly Ian) were finishing the design of our gearboxes.
"Ian hasn't slept for 34 hours. In this time he has threatened my life about 6 times. This is not a positive ratio."
I guess that's what happens when you live with someone who you work with on a FIRST team.
