Well is the quote wasn't during the build season but did anyone else catch Karthik mumble something like "teams are inspired by excellence but, never seen to congratulate it..." It was in eliminations and was said right after the small cheer for red and then huge cheer for the blue alliance. It kinda caught my attention...

Wow i guess i should read whats been posted first........sorry

we had made a very large binder at a regional, and on the car ride home a girl my teammate 'bob' had been flirting with called:

him: "You should come to my hotel room in Atlanta and see my scouting binder..."

me:"Oh yes, his scouting binder is huge..."

him: "It weighs 10 pounds."

me: "Its so huge you need to grab it with two hands."


it made the whole car laugh...'bob' had no idea what was so funny about his 'scouting binder' =P

"hey look, look, we can't use this part, it's bigger then my drawing!"

"If I can drive in weather like this just think what I could do with the robot...."

Or my favorite: (but after a comp.)
Renee: "Ryan, why can't we be like 1114?"
Ryan: *puts down his fork, looks over at her, and slams down his hand* "Because we aren't Canadian."

Mentor- "What we need is a team, where do we go? To Teams R' Us and get a shirt."

While queueing for our last qualifying match, which we were sure that we were going to lose, our media person said:

There are three ways that we can win this match.
#1: They have a power failure, forget to turn on their robot, wires fall out of the terminal block, or something to that extent.
#2: Their hybrid program got messed up and they spin on a line and get 11 consecutive <G22>s.
#3: *jokingly* We actually win, no penalties or failures.


It was a penalty-less match and we won.

heres the background...

*Craig on the phone talking to his dad,
everyone is standing around waiting on the battery to get changed during driver practice...and checking out the bot..me and Michael Parker are standing having a conversation..*

all the sudden you see Craig jumping up and down screaming into the phone...

"CHEESE DAD! CHEEEEESE!!!!!"

absolutely hilarious...

apparently, it was a conversation about pizza. Look for me & Parker at ATL...we'll probably scream it a few times..

*being shouted from 3 teams at once in the stands* Orange Al-li-ance!

Yes, that's right. At the Colorado regional, all three of the teams on the winning alliance (1625, 1592, and 1296) were bright blazing orange. It was epic.

Heard over the PA in the pits at GLR from the Spare Parts/Help desk "Team #### needs a blow torch. If you have one please bring it the the Spare Parts desk." *puzzled thought in head* a minute later "Blowtorches are not allowed in the pits, if you bring one up here you will get in trouble. Team #### will take a heavy duty solidering iron instead." murmer heard amoung team mates "we can't use blowtorches but they never said we couldn't bring them with us..."
