Engineering slogans

[DivideByZero]

It's not "good", it's "good enough" - Our team's slogan when we screw up but it still works.

"If we win, it's cause we have a good robot. If we lose, it's the driver's fault." (I was the driver when we came up with that).

[Mike33]

My kingdom for a/an/some (Place desired item here)

It'll never work!

If it breaks, make it bigger. If it breaks again....MOVE!

[Conor Ryan]

"is it done yet?"

[ElfMaster]

Our team's motto:

Its only temporary... unless it works

[M. Hicken]

I cant take credit for these, but my favorite section is you might be an engineer if:

You mught be addicted to FIRST if you know your schools midnight janitor, tell him you'll lock up in a little while, and often are the last soul in the building

in my class in school its "if it doesn't fit get the bloww torch" (heat makes things wider for those of you who dind't know)

[Mohsin]

the unoffical list of things said around our robotics rooms

-- You want me to get INCENTIVE? --
-- If it aint light, put it on the sandwich diet --
-- some peices of metal went to church, this sunday --
-- if it aint related to eucher, it aint canadian --

yeah i know they are really lame, but u had to be there, and the incentive comment, yeah those of u who watched the canadian regional might understand it.

note: nylon rope cannot be joined using solder, though i can be joined by holding a match underneath it, but sadly it will not return to its original strength.

Safety is no accident!

[Kelly322]

From a sign in my office and in those of engineers I know:

"Lack of planning on your part does not consitute an emergency on my part" (a personal favorite)

"Never question the judgment of an engineer" (a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor)

"Of course I don't look busy. I did it right the first time."

and my engineer husband's reply anytime I say something is broken: "did you hit it with a hammer yet?"

Maybe not "engineering" related, but all things appreciated by engineers.

I've seen this on a shirt in a magazine, I think it's pretty good.

I can fix anything ... Where's the ductape?

[Petey]

I prefer IOTTMCO.

Intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.

[Elgin Clock]

I heard a potential quote of the day tonight at our meeting from our Head Mentor of electrical/programming.

"I hate programs that think they know more than I do."

[Wayne Doenges]

Some of my favorites;

The program is never wrong.
I've cut it off three times and it's still too short.
If all else fails, read the instructions.

I know its not quite an engineering slogan, but sometimes our freshmen can be quite immature. I heard a good quote and have had to use it more than I like.

"Try to act your age, not your shoe size."

Those are hilarious. But your yin-yang animation mesmerized me for a minute. You might want to do something about that.
