Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Ok, so we were selling the remaining cinnamon rolls from our fundraiser at a local hardware store...these are the results of 4 hours's long work...

--S1 and S2 were playing chess...using Starbursts as pieces and graph paper as a board, since we didn't have a real board. S1 draws a face on one of the starbursts, and then a crown to represent a king. He "walks" the king across the board. "I'm a little starburst...!"
--S3: "We sound like 20 hungover chinese men after a night of drunken organ steeling..." (we were being kind of...loud)
--S4: *picks a random screw off of the floor* "Anyone wanna screw?"

----------

And the best quote of the season so far:
"Lyke, oh em gee. Lyke, totally!"
~Mentor, imitating...something...

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"Radio Shack-you have questions, we have blank stares"
Said when trying to find a DB15P solder cup, no one knew what we were talking about.

"So they give us the motors and the gearboxes, but no screws?"
Said when trying to assemble a Fisher-Price gearbox

There were many others that were generally comments on the crappiness/randomness of stuff in the KoP, but I don't remember them.

Something to the effect of:

Freshmen: If a tree falls in the forest when no one is around, does it still make a noise?
Mentor: Yes it does
Freshmen: What sound does one hand clapping make?
Mentor: Thats a question used for meditation

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

*Our CAD/Animation computer's case has a motherboard tray that folds out so you can work on it. So today i was working on the chassis and one of the mentors tells me i'm needed in the design room, so i go over there.
teammate: Hey Gary, the animation computer isn't working.
me: What happened?
teammate: We were modeling a motherboard, so i had the case open to look at the one in the computer, then when i closed the case like this (pops motherboard tray closed rather violently) it stopped working.
needless to say, someone is buying the club a new motherboard...

yesterday, we were putting the chassis together:
teammate:Gary, why is this wheel so close to the frame?
me: *looks at the wheel* umm, i designed it that way.
teammate: well, there's no clearance (he exaggerated, there was about 1/32" of clearance...)
me: that's called precision engineering!

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Student: I don't like inductive reasoning, therefore I don't like any reasoning.

Electronics Cpt. :So where am I going to put my electronics?

Me: WEll you can put some of them here, and some more over here. Oh, and there is space in the wheels too. Just run the wires through the shafts.

Electronics Cpt. : Well, I guess since the shaft is a dead axle I could actually do that, I would just have to make sure that the victors float within the wheel.

Me: We think to hard about these things.
