"Quotes" that were said during build season

[LightWaves1636]

zip ties and duct tape bring the world together

[Goober!!!]

One thing that I hear the most is "Blame it on the Goober!!!" . I don't know why but they do!!!

[Jay W.]

"Hand me the Tool of Persuasion." ::get the hammer::

"Hey..the shooter works...LOOK OUT!"

And for the record, Red Vs. Blue is still hilerious at 1:30am, but I wouldn't suggest it, you'll get the team quoting Caboose and Donut the rest of the day.

[Michelle Celio]

After re-assembling the cart

Me "Mr. J *the mentor* we have a problem"
Mr. J " What..."
Me " this wheel doesn't touch the ground"
Mr. J " Why is that"
Me " Because you let the three girls on the team do it, and one of us doesn't even know what a washer or nut is! "
Mr. J " Oh, that explains it, add more washers!!"

then later on after we got it fixed. One of the other girls goes "So, we RANCHED together the cart...cool" and I go " you said it as if we made a salad, we wrenched it together.."

[PIRATECAPTIN]

my favorite quotes are:

"I am always right" - My mom

"The CLAW" - Andrew

"If the robot brakes... blame the programers" -various

"Pizza, again?" -various

I'll think of some more later...

[anna~marie]

[Erin Rapacki]

[Peter Matteson]

"Its easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission." One we hate admit has truth.

"Wow, that was another case of drive by management." - I popularized this around the office over the last few months to describe a specific phenomena that has been happening and it slips out at FIRST as well.

[Daniel Morse]

"If you make it Draper-proof, they will build a better Draper."
Well, this didn't happen during the build season, but at BAE Granite State Regional. It was in reference to our operator interface. Our operator has the last name of Draper, and is very hyper and somewhat unpredictable (but he does well).

[Wolf103FM]

We also had one
"I Like Pudding"... quickly followed by "I love lamp" from someone else
and I often did the Phil Ken Sebben laugh followed by random words when someone said something or a cretain part seemed funny.... (HA HA... random word)
sometimes the Peter Griffin Laugh, or even Beavis and Butthead laughter and quotes

Me: forget the snow, I'd rather play in the metal shavings

[Alex Cormier]

here's one i had a few weeks ago.

"the problem is balls have a mind of thier own, so it's hard to control them and push them."

[rachal]

"Okay, so what if the balls get sucked into a giant screw that rotates, and they get ejected by--what! stop laughing at me!"

"Our robot SUCKS BALLS."

"The misaligned holes along the sides are so ugly..."
"They add character."
"What about that chunk of metal we were too lazy to cut off the shooter?"
"It adds character."
"And all the zip ties-"
"THEY ADD CHARACTER >:["

"This room is so messy."
"Oh, come on...the table is visible today!"

Underwood: *holds piece of plywood over his head* Hey I'm under wood!
Jay: HA HA WITT-EE WITT-EE.

Ves: I bet the robot's underweight.
Vijay: I bet it's not!
Ves: If I lose, I'll make you an aluminum sprocket. ON A BAND SAW AND DRILL PRESS.
Robot: *is one pound overweight*
Ves: =p

This quote is from last year, but it's pretty priceless.
"The bot is getting more action than us -- it gets hammered and drilled every day!"

[Schneidie]

One of my favorites was a frustrated student "That's all I'll ever do. Hold things for Pelan. I'm worthless!

[Commanchetruck]

MEHRRRRRRRR and America, @#%$ YEAH!!
