"Quotes" that were said during build season

[kevin.li.rit]

Mechanical guy, "Can we get a pot on the robot"
me. "Sure. Are you going to put it on?"
Mechanical guy, "I don't know how to do that"


Anyways he didn't know what a pot was.

One of our mentors (college student) had cut off the end of a Zip-tie leaving a very sharp point. I asked him to cut it off flush with the latch to make it less likely to cut someone. As he was cutting it, I was warning him about the possibility that the pointed end might fly when he cut it and to make sure he was wearing his safety glasses.
His response:
"What good are those? That thing just shot up my nose"!

Sure enough, two hard blows later, out it came.

After any little event in the shop: "ooooh , I wanted to see it go boom!

[Chief Samwize]

While programming our robot this year:

Me: Ok, I didn't tell it to do that. (Looking back at code) Oh wait ... yes I did.

after cutting off a zip tie

MENTOR:"Get the dremmel and remove the tip from that zip tie."
ME: "It's obviously sharp, no one would be stupid enough to grab it."
MENTOR:"Watch this" *Walks over and grabs the zip tie. Blood starts pouring out of the wound."
ME:"Wow, thanks for the example!"

X:"The other team members don't take me seriously"

Y:"You will wave goodbye to them from the airplane"

Well, this one isnt during build season... but...

<Our driver (of a car) drives past a turn and begins backing into it (it was in a subdivision, so it was legal)>

Lucy (Base driver): "10 point penalty (G22)"

We have a student who always asked if we can place some blatently rules violating piece of equipment on the robot.

Student: Hey Mr. B. can we....
Me: No
Student: Why?
Me: It Violates Rule <G2>, which is why we are renaming that to <G2, the Rule of "NO!">

Um that's funny because I was the one who installed the pot on the robot. I assume you were referring to me...


Kevin: Lets do an omni drive with all traction wheels.
Me: That's not going to be very easy to turn.
Kevin: Yes it will, it will work.

I never said that, I don't even like the traction wheels. And If you did it right you could do it with traction wheels and it would be easy to turn.

And you only installed the pot after I said I wouldn't tell you how to do it.

"Me: I have several solutions. I just don't feel like telling you."

Here's one of our team's favorite quotes. Whenever anything goes wrong (no matter what it is)

"Blame Kevin"

Kevin, AKA Coffeeism, is our super genius college student mentor who knows everything (yes, everything). So it never is actually his fault, but we pre-plan who we're going to blame.

OMG.. ironically we had a student on our team last year,, and he like knew everything... he was very "sure" of himself.. and like once year he FRIED A RC :O anyways...

The whole time he was on the team they referred to KFC (Kevin Fries Circuit) and every since he left we always say KFC whenever something goes wrong
