Also one that was written on the whiteboard during the FTC season (anyone who saw the 'gnomes' episode of South Park will get it):

PHASE 1: Build robot
PHASE 2:
PHASE 3: WIN


...and it was later written over by the teacher:

PHASE 1: Build robot
PHASE 2: rebuild robot the night before competition so it works
PHASE 3: WIN

This one actually found its way onto our Chairman's Award video.

Minions are like cats- they only come to you when they want something and you're working. Other than that they just sit there and eat.

I heard this one on ship date

"It's only temporary, we'll fix it later"

"Hey, let's put a gyro on it!"--said at the end of the first day of a regional

"It's the PneuMetal!"--our driver noticing that the "Pneumatics" and "Metal" labels got stuck together

[McGurky]

a quick said quote, that is now our team motto

"Tats to easy"

where if you know our team, it fits right in, we just seem to make everything much more complicated that it should be!!

[thehurd03]

"Team 470 Alpha Omega Robotics is looking for a blue bumper, if any team has an extra blue bumper please return it to team 470"

At Kettering kickoff in September someone from another team stole one of our bumpers and we still haven't gotten it back, but that was the announcement made.

[Stephen of REX]

We used red superballs on the end of our forklift, and they tended to fall out... so when they did fall out the MC at Philadelphia said

"And 1727 has released its rolley red apple things onto the field"

Needless to say we just got rid of them after it happened a second time.

[The Megan 2207]

"Water game? Ice field? ROBOTS ON ICE! It's a new musical coming to a town near you!"

[khemathunder09]

"Oh we changed that...You didn't know?"

"Its Robert's fault./ Robert did it."
(He is a senior from last year and everything was always blamed on him, though it was rarely actually his fault.)

"Go ask Mr. Epp."
(He's our mentor.)

[surferacf]

Someone had marked the location for a bolt, and it needed to be drilled out. They asked Justin, one of the fabricators, but failed to think before they spoke.

"Justin, Drill my Hole."

Laughter ensues.
