"Quotes" that were said during build season

"Find a pot! We need it for speed!"
^ While working on the OI, we needed a potentiometer to control the speed of our shooting motor...


S: (working on chassis, random observation) "Hey, metal bounces"
*5 minutes later, S tries to sing DHT's Listen to Your Heart*
D: "You know, metal bounces off foreheads too"

"Well, we found out why we were draining our battery so quickly. Our pneumatics were only leaking in 12 places!"

[Rickertsen2]

Mechanical: Fix your software somethings wrong!
Me: Fix your hardware, its melting!

While trying to figure out why our drive train wasn't shifting:

"Wait! We don't have gas!"

(this conversation happens as the song Another Brick In The Wall by Pink Floyd comes on)
*right after you hear the lyrics "we don't need no education"

Nick:yay....wait! Shut up!

"All hail the green sharpie" usually said when someone was looking for it

[Jherbie53]

During the first Saturday after the game was announced we were testing a prototype of out shooter. Tim, one of our mentors, said after shooting a couple of balls, "We need to increase the squish". A couple of us were like "increase the squish?". Tim replied "Yeah the squish factor needs to be higher". Thus one of our favorite quotes was born.

[Daniel Morse]

"Chris, your collector sucks" -me in reference to our collector mechanism, which sucks balls up into the hopper and had just worked absolutely perfectly in a demo. Chris designed it, and needless to say, agreed with what I had to say.

When working with our shooter wheel:

"Hey look at the camera, its in motion blur! I wonder if it'll still be able to pick up the light?" Said as the robot was shaking violently due to a bent shaft on the shooter wheel.

And then the daughter board with the lens vibrated itself out. Yeah... that was bad.

MENTOR: "hey theirs a loose pwm in your electric box
ME: oh that doesn't go anywhere anymore... i think

[vic burg]

-me: "Why exactly is there locktite on there?"
mentor: "They weren't supposed to come off."
me: "Oh."
We had some trouble with the placement of the wheels.... had to put more locktite on..... lol-

-"So, which gun are we using?"
reply from other student:"Punch E in the stomach gun."
Since there was an idea for another 'gun' we made a prototype and it ended up punch our Mechanical Lead in the stomach everytime a ball went through. With the last ball through though, he fell over.... poor guy.... lol.-

-"Wait.....wait.....wait for it....."
"Did you turn the robot on?!"
"Oops."-

-mentor(talking to all):"You have to caress the controls.... got it, guys?"
Bootleg:"Gd that sounded so wrong!"
mentor:"Hey, I ment be gentle... don't know whats on your mind, Bootleg."

**note** The name Bootleg came from me because that's what I thought he said his name was. It's not his real name, though. He's a freshman but helps write code so, it's all good!-

-mentor:"Lube it up, baby!"
student:"Never knew you went that way."
mentor throws dirty look then smiles evilly/creepily at students.
me:"I hope to gd that you are only looknig at us like that because of lack of sleep."-

-A student sent out an email about how we should name our robot using binary and the name of our team. It was interesting and made some sense but the reply of two people:
Student reply:"I suggest you should invest in a Gameboy in the furture, E."
mentor(Z) reply:"Get some sleep, E. -Z"-

I'm sure I can think of some more later.... lol

Captain: "(from the rules) 'A team with additional personel in the ALLIANCE ZONE will be assessed a 5-point penalty...'"
Me: "Okay, I have a question, is that penalty per person in the alliance zone, or 5 points for every extra person?"

Captain: "It feels very 'churchy' today..."
Mentor: "Ross, it's a Sunday"
Captain: "Oh right!"

Guy Student: "Where's the center punch?"
Girl Student: "If you weren't such a guy you'd be able to find it"

Captain: "Do as I say, not as I do... NEVER as I do!" After making an idler out of pneumatic tubing.
