"Quotes" that were said during build season

[mad_cloversc]

"Where are the strippers?"
"STOP STEALING THE STRIPPERS!"

[meaubry]

Oh no, someone cleaned up again - now how am I suppose to find anything?

Hey, where is that whirly gig thingy? (deburring tool)

Looks "close enough" to me

Good thing that's adjustable

[Ashley Christine]

Me: Sounds like he put the whole alphabet into his mouth and threw up all over the paper!

Me and Kim in starbucks before an early meeting...

Kim:Ashley look at that mug!
Me: ::turns left::
Kim: No Ashley, on your right
Me: ::Turns more left::
Kim: ASHLEY! YOUR OTHER RIGHT!
Me: ::raises left hand:: BUT THIS IISSS MY RIGHT...... oh..... ::turns right and sees mug::

[Mr.T]

Two quotes of note:
" I DON'T LIKE IT,BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY"

" DID YOU BUILD THAT FROM SCRATCH?"

[cire]

"I didnt drill the hole in the wrong place, I was lightening the robot!"
"Ill just ducktape the lathe wrench to my hand so i dont forget to take it out when im done."
"I would have never have thought it would be where its supposed to be"

Me :"Carl thinks that adding extra code will increase the robot's weight. Silly Carl!"
Teammate: "Well it does..."
Me: "Umm what are you talking about, of course it wont"
Teammate: "No, for evey extra bit of code, 9.1e-31 kg is added to the RC"

A long argument ensued, and after 3 hours of his research to prove his argument, my teammate told me that he found online proof that adding additional code will in fact add electrons to the flash memory. I still deny it since he never showed me the article. What do u guys think??

BTW -- its a sad thing when we are worried about adding e-31 kg of weight to our robot..

Oh and a second one:

Student 1: "We need the robot to do *this*. Do you know what that means?"
Student 2: "More global variables!!!!!"

About making notes:
"I got bored, so I drew a giant robot attacking a city. In the logbook." - Myself.

"Dude! That robot design sketch looks awesome! ... Can we put it in the logbook?" - Christina

About not knowing the names of random items
"Pass me the ratchet... screwdriver... thingie..." - Alex again

When attempting to come up with slogans:
"We use all of the buffalo." - Alex
(The sad part: It stuck.)

When discussing autonomous mode
"So, we go as fast as we can this way, then we ram into that wall and hope our bump sensors work..." - Myself

[buss]

From our lead coder, while trying to get the robot working:
"I know the code works, I wrote it! It must be a hardware problem."

To answer a question above about extra code adding weight: I believe that all of the electrons already exist in the flash memory, but they are just disorganized. Writing to the flash memory just consists of organizing electrons, therefore the weight would not increase.

[JJMax7]

"Whats the worse that could happen? *explosion sound*" (note sound simulated nothing actually explode)
Nick: "I'm not Nick"
"Yea, No, No, Yea, No, Yea, Yea... wait... no..."
After something falls "It wasn't me!" as he drops something.

When I walk into the house....
Mom: Did you have anything to eat today?
Me: Yeah I had steel, aluminum, some graphite, WD-40, some grease and a bunch of fiberglass.
Mom:That's what you had yesturday...

[Alan Anderson]

This weight of software was actually a serious discussion among a few of our team members two years ago. I managed to stop the conversation completely when I pointed out that the "erased" state of flash is a logic one, so programming it actually removes bits from memory.

[Jherbie53]

Another one from Tory, coach of team 85. "We need some more flexy doodles". "Flexy Doodles" are guards that help out robot hopper. It was so funny when he said that, and now we still call them that.

[Not2B]

Me: "And right here is where the whooptie doo will go."

Student: "The what?"

Me: "The whooptie doo."

Student: "What's that?"

Me: "You know, the whooptie part. It goes whooptie right here."

Student: "uh..."

Me: "Ball guides... come on... work with me here! It guides the ball into the shooter."
