"Quotes" that were said during build season

[BigJ]

On the topic of pants, I actually ripped my pants this season...

While working on Chairmans.

I was making a point that our essay jumped from one topic to another (and jumped across the room) and our school's floors are made of smooth concrete. One of my feet slipped and, yeah, my pants ripped straight down the front. I walked around for about an hour with my hoodie tied around the front.

I had to make a phone call ("Dad, you should totally drive down here with a pair of pants) and all the other Chairmans people were hiding behind the corner and busted out laughing when I said it.

"We don't build the robots, we build the robot builders."

When one of my friends was recognized by a member of another team
"Hey! You're a robot, too!"

[Brian J. R.]

This was said by Branden Gee (Bee Gee to us, no relation to the band) at the end of year, team picnic

"Lets throw some more fire on the wood!"

At the same event, I dont know who it was but they said

"Ooo fire in a can!"
This reffers to the common pass time of lighting Axe on fire.

Not really build season but still robotics related. Me and my friend(also a robotics member) were driving around outside the movie theater for awhile cause we were waiting for some other guys to show up. So while we are driving this happens.

Him:Sweet, dollar castle.
Me: Awesome, a dollar store, let's get some robot parts.

We then keep driving.

Him: Oh look, Farmer Jack's. Whole store on sale! (Farmer Jacks is a local grocery store that is going under)
Me: Awesome, let's get some robot parts... What? We can make the robot biodegradable.

We keep on driving and come to a Blockbuster to go in for awhile to look around. As we are pulling up.

Me: Alright, Blockbuster. Let's get some robot parts.


Yeah, you can get robot parts anywhere.

After I made a boo-boo by letting a freshman touch the controls:
Me: "We had a minor mishap in which the code tried to put the arm in an impossible position..." (yes, I do talk like that sometimes)
Mentor: "And?"
Me: "the motors kept driving and..."
Mentor: "What?"
Me: "I blew out the elbow." (I turn around and book it back to my corner)

"I dub thee 'Gear Muncher'" - after ripping teeth off the shoulder gear for the 50th time...

Playing with a new sensor:
"Why is this chip getting so hot?" - I had reversed the connections, putting 5v on the signal pin and grounding the 5v pin. Thankfully it still works.

"Think of all the poor turkeys in wheelchairs!" - we cook turkey legs at our local Renaissance Festival and the volume is crazy. That is a good point...

Today, one of the team members was loading 2 of our smaller robots into my vehicle for a demo at a middle school. We were trying to decide if he could load the robots in one seat and climb over to the back seat.

He said - 'people are more flexible than robots, right?'
