"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Bill_Hancoc]

"Watch out for the house" we are in a drafting room and there was a balsa wood house in the path of our shooter and seconds after this was said the house exploded in balsa wood and poof ball (we hit it)

[Rohith Surampudi]

"Get this jobby done right quick"
"Whoa _-_-_-_-_ is driving the robot, ill get the allens"
"You broke it again"
"Good enough"
"its not really cheating, its more like an unfair advantage"


Me:"alright we need to fix the prototype chasis,"
Andrew of Fon : "sawsall"


"wait it was light out when i came in, what happened"
"NOT THE LIGHT BOX"
"cut once, curse, cut again, curse again, and hope that you get it right the third time"
"get the sawsall"
"wait we cant use duct tape on the robot"
"so beastly"

[underwood]

some famous ones
"close enough" -my motto, weird, considering im the best at motor mounts....
"ves!! come clean up your lube!"
"what's a number line?" -our programming captain

parents night, and someone had rediscovered the labelmaker.
"who put the 'penis' label on rachel?"
then, later...
"alright, who put the label saying 'buttsecks?!?!?' on anik's back before he walked into the parents room?"
^that would be me....

then, last week of build we got chinese food, and i discovered how to remove the fortunes fromt eh fortune cookies, re-label therm, and put them back into the cookie.
"why is my cookie offering me a passionate orgy?"
*not really a quote, but there is this one girl on our team who was terrified by the movie saw, and i got to her cookie...this is the cookie's quote*
"I want to play a game"

[DinkyDogg]

On our team IRC channel:
"[James] jacob go lick a toilet"

I don't even remember what I did to warrant that.

[Andrew Y.]

"Ok so....our base weighs 100 pounds......we have no shooter, loader, panels....thats not good guys"

"take this picture, and tell everyone its week 3 (week 5)"

"Not a WORD of this reaches MR. Rosen (Lead Teacher).....understand?"

"We just rebuilt the roboti in 2 days.............why?"

"is it just me or is that shaft, screw, gearbox, and frame all going through eachother"

"Andrew, you are going to be single and prom date less by the end of the season. SUCK IT UP"

"We are on STRIKE" Programers

[kjhobin]

"Saftey Violation!"

[vadyr]

"now that's more better!"

[Daniel Morse]

"Teamwork is a lot of people doing what I say" -me to the younger students at the beginning of the season {I quickly explained that I was joking, of course}
Note that I did not make up this quote, I found it online, and I thought that it would be perfect.

[Chrispy393]

"It's only a mere flesh wound!" -Whenever someone would get hurt (and I'd usually do some minor flippage.)

"...Alpha-Freshmen..." -The title went around and around...

"TAG!" -New game...er...scare a guy by screaming it and going to kick them where it hurts.

"Hi Paul!...Hi Everybody!"

"No! If I touch it my finger will fall off!" -Fear of soldering...

"Did you kill the fish again Chrispy?!"

Then there was just random stuff that didn't exactly have big quotes...like launching cucumbers (and other veggies), snowball fights, wrestling, "samurai noodle schoolings," and of course random dodgeball fights in tech labs with cameras...and then getting yelled at the next day. Ahh, I'll miss the build season!

[AJL930]

Team Member: "Ya Think we have enough speed holes?"
Myself:" There are never enough speed holes."

Mentor: "Alright, you dont get a root beer float until you eat at least 2 slices of pizza." (This was said by one of our mentors on the last saturday that we were allowed to build. Around 8:00 pm we had a break for dinner, considering we had been working since 9:00am. And for some reason, she brought Ice cream and Root beer, So.....Ya know when in rome.......)

Mentor: (Imitating Crocodille Dundee) Thats not a knife.....(Pulls out his pocket knife) Now thats a knife!

[Borgel]

"Don't cry, it's just a flesh-wound. It's how the robot shows its affection." (oddly like the one above)

"I'd eat and sleep, but that would put me behind schedule."

"Unfortunately it's not broken, that's the way it's supposed to be."

"So, this makes us the last ones on campus and the first ones on campus, right?" (After working through midnight)

"Robotics took over my life. When I said I was going to a party, she assumed that I meant a robotics conference with food...She was only half right."

"Warranty does not cover magic smoke." (Darn that magic smoke)

"Only 40 Amps? Psh, I don't need no spec sheet telling me what to do."


So much robotics goodness. Gotta love it.

[Figment]

"Chuck Norris has got nothing on Woodie Flowers!"

[kawelch]

"this year you've gotta have balls to score"

[Cantwait2008]

a few of us said this way too much,

"It's just weight reduction!"

[Kyveck]

"Inductively fried speed controller!"

It was our first day with the brand new electronics, and we didn't know what had just happened. When our mentor coined the phase it just stuck...
