"Quotes" that were said during build season

[usbcd36]

"JON! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" (many times over multiple seasons)

Things Jon was doing when this was said:

• making a blowdart gun out of extra PVC pipe, pool noodle and nails
• using a can of WD-40 and a match to make a flamethrower ("JON, stop making flamethrowers! You're going to set the floor on fire!")
• cutting (expensive) robot parts
• making holes/cuts in things with Dremel
• setting steel wool on fire
• attaching fans together, then stripping the nuts so the contraption could not be taken apart (at regionals)


(somebody says something that would've made our lives easier if said about a month ago)
*pause*
- "WHY?"
- "Because we're stupid."
- "Oh…"

"It's robotics season; we don't have time to study for midterms!"

- "PROG!"
- "PROG'd!"

- "Why didn't you tell us you had a machine shop in your basement?"
- "…"
- "…"
- "I dunno…I never really thought about it…"
(Note: I don't really have a machine shop in my basement; it's a wood shop. I did meet a guy who has a machine shop in his basement, though.)

"In the absence of Jon, we all become Jon" (said every time someone does something without thinking that results in wasted time or parts and Jon is not present)

"Somehow, we got ahold of some good juju."

"We had to seal the basement to protect the juju."
