"Quotes" that were said during build season

[sayso_411]

Its been a fun season! I m already set for the next!

Not as much a quote but more of a story:

After we powered up our bot last season at the competition, for some unknown reason after its been sitting idle for about a minute, the code error light turns on (requiring an RC reset to work correctly). So sometimes when we put the bot out on the playing field right before a round and the judges are taking a long time to introduce the teams, we got that annoying code error light and would have to reset it (using the button on our OI), otherwise our autonomous mode would not run. So every round the drivers and I (field coach) would helplessly stand there praying the code error light didn't turn on again before the round officially started.
Several times I sprinted back onto the playing field while the judges introduced the teams (with the judges permission of course) to power down the bot and power it back up and hope that darned light never came back on.

Me (mechanical team) to a programmer when we realised we were a few ounces from being under 120 pounds...


Z- hey, i was wondering, do you guys think you could make your bits lighter?
CS- i'm not sure, but that seems like it's a hardware problem, the chips are physical objects aren't they?

we then realised that we had used 1/4 inch lexan as a shield for our control board... yes, it's overkill, yes, it weighs 5 pounds, and yes, it's important to bullet-proof the control board...

One day our team was eating KFC for dinner. Kate is sitting next to the Mountain Dew.
Matt and Joe are seniors (or were, they have graduated since), Kate is Joe's younger sister.

Matt: Hey, Kate, is there any Mountain Dew left?
Kate: Yes.
Matt: Hey, Kate, Dew me!!!
At this time the entire team bursts out laughing.
Joe (after a half second): That's my sister!!!!!!!

We were voting on how many wheels the robot should have at the beginning of the build season. Our mentor gave everyone a slip of paper and told them to write how many wheels they thought the robot shoud have on it. After, we were counting votes. This is not exact words.

Mentor - Six, six, four, six, ... Apple Pie! What the...!!!
Team starts laughing
J.Z. - that was me.
J.H. - What the ****!!! I voted for that too!!!
Mentor - What the!!! You two were across the room from eachother!!! And who voted for unicycle?
Team laughs even harder
C.G. (my BFF) - *raises hand*

you forgot the part where a senior looked at me and said

"You.... are a genious"

"There's something you know that I don't. Which closet did you lock it in?"

This was said a good while ago, just before our last Bayou Regional. Just remembered it. =P

from our about 50 year old engineer: "We pimped it good!" (shortly after we got our articulating chassis working from last year)

[m3ch4num470r]

Me: "We need to find a girlfriend for Eric."
Eric: "What? You need to find a drillpress for me?"
Me: "Yeah, lets go with that. We need to find a 'drillpress' for him."

"But that would have required planning ahead"
--answer to any idea that would have made our lives a lot easier if we had thought of it a month ago.
