I'm obsessed over filing. It's fun.

Me: "So I had this idea for a CNC Coloring machine..."
Bob (our programmer): "...a printer?"

(Me, telling the rest of the team the shelf dimensions)


Me: "Ok, the shelf is 60 inches wide by 12 feet deep"
D: "Twelve feet?"
D2: "That would be a big area"
A: "We could use a big DDR pad"
Me: "It would take three-four people to work it"
"LIFT THE ARM UP!"
"WHA?"
"LIFT UP THE ARM!!!"

This was the briefing on what happened at the NorCal FLL Championships to one of the teams that our team mentors.
"The team peformed perfectly, but the robot didn't do what it is supposed to do."

So we also have this programmer on our team named Eugene... and these are some of the Eugenisms... (this is from the rest of my team... I personally don't get these...)
"Once you cross the line, you can NEVER go back"
"El Crappo"
"Technically I don't have to program the robot to go backwards or right"

Our other programmer was acting a bit werid on the trackball....
"I feel like Dwight. Except it's too big" (Dwight's from The Office)
The same programmer as above while filling out grants...
"As of now, building robots is our secondary objects"

So our team thinks of food before working sometimes...
"MMMmmmm... cookies..."

Lack of sleep during build season makes a few of our team members crazy... this is at 2 in the morning while drinking Koolaid...
"You know, why doesn't anyone ever sue the Koolaid man? I mean, he jumps through walls getting all of the plaster and asparagus in the juice. That can't be too good for your health."

Deciding what color to make the lettering on our black bumpers:

1: "Alright, so the vote was 5-2 blue to orange."
2: "You really want to make the lettering baby blue."
1: "Ahem...-- lightning blue."

lol "take the red pill or take the blue pill" one of them will lead to inventor success, the other shows you how far the rabbit hole goes

"Snowball fight anyone?"

"No more targets!!!!"

as boredom overcame us, we made this target out of cardboard and hung it from one of the many pipes. We then drew a ninja and proceeded to throw random objects at it in a orderly fashion.
Objects including and not limited too: bits of extrusion, files, foam balls, yoga balls, other bits of cardboard, files, sharpies...

i think we also threw a sonic doll, but that must be verified

"Our robot is like a murder weapon on wheels and we haven't even hooked it up to the battery yet."

[Scott Carpman]

"Where are the wires? I need to use the WiFi."

"Twinkies don't expire, they turn into twinkie beer."

"Man, I hope these envelopes don't have anthrax in the glue."
