"Quotes" that were said during build season

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

"There was a meeting this weekend?" -Freshman, 2/20/08

[tar.ancalime]

Q: "What do I do if it doesn't fit?"
A: "FILE IT"

Q: "What if we don't have the right size drill bit?"
A: "DRILL IT SMALLER AND FILE IT."

Q: "Um...this is slightly crooked..."
A: "FILE IT STRAIGHT"

Q: "Dude, this piece is totally off. What.."
A: "FILE IT"

Q: "Where's the file?"
A: ...

Our robot is basically a bunch of filed pieces held together by cut-down screws.

Me: "where do I put the fans" (fans to cool down the motors)
R: "you want the fans to blow upwards to create a downwards force to increase acceleration"
W: "It perfect... we want the fans to blow up, so the upwards force will decrease the weight"
Me: "W___'s Idea is perfect, If we have enough fans we could even have negative weight"
M: "You can't have negative weight, thou you can put helium in the tanks and have a floating robot."
-------
W: "We should put the ball caster on a piston"
Me: "Why?"
W: "So when the piston fires we can bank turns"
Me: "The robot is probably not going that fast"
-------
(minutes before shipping)
R: "Just tape the claw to the crate"
Me: "Pass the Gaff tape"
(crate on the truck)
R: "Oh, you didn't put enough tape...How much you wanna bet that claw will fall off during shipping"
Me: "5 bucks"

As joe said, "Blame Kevin",
Others include:
-Joe:"I am going to tell you how to perform an operation.... now I will scratch myself excessively."

-Whenever something was lost: "Looks like Tosean came back..."

-Me: "Do you like being men? If you don't put away that file, you won't be for long!"

-Kevin: "I'm 17!"

Hannah: "Put things away. As in: Put. Things. Away. K thx bye."

Harrison: "SHUT UP!!!! If I can't justify half the stuff i say, you certainly can't justify this madness!!!!!" ~weekend before ship, the robot broke and Harrison was yelling at the guy who did it....

Lawry: "If you want to live, I suggest you avoid death" ~words of wisdom at 11:30 PM

Sam: "Where's the hitty stick" ~midnight Sunday before ship, hammer becomes hitty stick..... go figure...

Harrison: "I tried it on trees because I figured the trees would simulate your bone structure. But then I realized you weren't a tree. You were more of a pile of snow."

Lawry: "I will continue to eat donuts and maybe eventually I will just fall over."

Harrison: "Sam, why is my drill hot?"
Sam: "It wants you."
Harrison: "I hate you."
Sam: "Screw it. Screw it hard!"

Harrison: "Don't use your big nuts Sean, I've got small nuts."

Karen: "The frosting is the tastiest part of the Oreo."
Lawry: "But the frosting fell on the floor."
Karen: "But the frosting is the tastiest part."
Lawry: "But the floor is the dirtiest part of the Oreo."

Lawry: "Flat like a prostitutes @$$." ~talking about 6 year old un-opened 2 liter of Squirt

Harrison: "I get G-d $@#$@#$@#$@# addicted to junk food."
Sean: "It's like crack cocaine to him."
Karen: "It's like he just got broken up with." ~Oreos, Krispy Kremes, coffee cake, and cheese-it's

Me and Sara: "James did it!"

Whenever we need to laugh. Especially after several munchkins and a "fruit" (sugar) snapple drink apiece.

[StephLee]

"*gasp* You stolded my gum!"

"Boring!"
"But it's catapultish!"

After returing from a neighboring teams track, and relizing that our shops scale was off, and that we did not weight 94lbs, but 127lbs (lol ...)

Me and ben were up for nearly 3 days straight, and ben had just sounded the 14hrs till ship warning....
My friend josh who had been up for only 24 hrs at this point start to complain about the lateness. And he complained for nearly 20minutes straight, as everyone worked 'cept him. And as i was disasembling a toughbox (for the 11th time that build season), i asked for a tool.

Josh: its really late (looks at watch around 3am or something)
me: neet (not carring)
josh: im tired
Me: im not (just slammed 2 5hr energies)
josh: oh
Me: hey josh can you get a tool
Josh: sure
Me: its called 'shut the heck up'

On Enigmas' team we have 2

While working on our robot cart:


Ross- "The screw won't go in"
Me- *Take's biggest hammer we have, beats screw into wood*
Ross- "oh..."
Me- "yeah"


Mentor "I thought we wern't packing till' next week?"
Me- "oops...."

[ShotgunNinja]

Screw it. No, the crate.

You know robotics has achieved a level of pure awesome when it had Grant Imahara before Mythbusters started calling him anything other than a "Myth-tern".

(But seriously, has anyone else noticed that throughout the first season or so, the Mythterns remained nameless?)
