Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

If anyone of you guys where at the Fingerlakes Regionals and remembers our team, we often you yell "Marco" and the crowd would yell "Polo" back. It was funny cause it started out as an advanced team's joke. We where lost finding the motel, so we call up one of the mentors who drove up in his truck. Our drive just says "Marco" then our mentor calls up and says "Polo".

Then also last year we had a bad year, our bot only drove at Regionals. We called it "Ish" because no matter what we did it was also kinda done.......ish. So when people where talking in meeting and said stuff like "The frame is done" then one of use would just say "ish.......".

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

While building the plywood prototype (mmm...plywood....) I was in charge of putting it all together, while the others on drive base built the connectors for the wheels.

Me: *crazed look* JUSTIN!?!? What do all good teams with casters do?

Justin: I don't know, what?

Me: MOTORIZE THEM!!!!!

Justin: Wee!

We proceeded to think of ways to motorize the ball bearings in the caster.

From the prototype stages our team came up with a simple saying

"The robot should be allowed to boing"

We have a mentor who, unknown to him, we have affectionately nicknamed Gordon Freeman, because he resembles ol gordon, especially with his orange jacket. (his name is actually tom...)

J and Me: We need to build the robot out of something then aluminum...how about completely out of wood...

Tom: That would be (something that the swear filter takes out), or maybe steampunk...

Me: Ooooo.....copper tubing.......

"If it gets any hotter in here, it'll be inappropriate" --Mentor
...referring to our team room, which is boiling in comparison to the shop. There's a difference of about 5 degrees F...

-------------

"We should have a joust sometime."
"What would we use as weapons?"
"Those air compressors are looking pretty good to me..."

------------
And this is by far the best one...we had subs for dinner this particular day...

Person1: "Do you want my tomatos?"
Me: "Yeah, do you want my meat?" *there weren't vegetarian subs...*
Person1: "Uhh, I'll pass"
