One of my presonal favorites:
"are you sure we cant make a bot that gives the crowed a seizure?"

[Tom I]

Two of my favories:

"2x4's ARENT 2x4, you Moron!"

"A spark? Where? Turn it back on and show me... Thats not a spark, thats a FLAME!!"
(this quote is where our robot in 2007, Sparky, got its name!)

this was when we were discussing how rule g14 stinks.

"if your robot stinks, it stinks. if your robot rocks it rocks, get over it." -coach 1
"no you mean moon rocks"-coach 2

*slaps head*-me

[296Minion]

"Its a series of tube"-said alot more that once most of the times in context and some of the times just because we cant get it out of our heads

"Lets just ship the 06 bot...it was a champion"

*Looks at a really tiny netbook computer:"Its the new ipod"

OLDIE: "Its the WWE for smart people"---never gets old.

Bonus point for knowing the joke behind the first quote.

lol...thats funny our team got the name back in 1999 because our 1st robot sparked

Well i can't think of any quotes, but here are some funny things that happened at some of our meetings, most of which iI heard through word of mouth.


1. the team is working on our '07 robot, and while they are huddled around the robot one of the other members starts "flying an x wing" with the controllers nearly decapitating the entire team.

many more but too tired to type, just got home from a meeting...(2. I was riding a trash can. )

[BlueMyrian]

Sometimes people just set themselves up for the perfect quote...

C: -stands up and looks down- Aw man, I got wood...-pauses to wipe off his shirt-

-the rest of us look around, waiting for someone to laugh first-

C: ...all over my shirt. -is just now realizing what happened- No! I have wood on my shirt from cutting!

-by now the whole class is cracking up-

[mynameisbob]

"Quick grab the donuts so we can bribe the janitor into letting us stay longer!"

"It doesn't have to work, it's only a test!"

"Hey, where there this many pieces left over last time we put it together?"

[Delia]

*at kickoff* "Ahhh robotics events...the only places where the men have a line for the bathroom too..."

[Outoforbit]

"Stop Shooting Those Staples At Me!!!!"

"I wonder if they knew they were going to run out of balls." - regarding FIRST's decision to use the orbit balls

[NinJA999]

"Where are your nuts? Tell me where your nuts are!" -tonight at the meeting

"So we got a new working camera for the robot, and you're using it to film Alex's butt?" -tonight

Someone on our team had a problem with writing, she wrote the numbers on our front bumper upside down.


Another one I said last year which I didn't realize I had, and I'm glad the other person did.

(me working on the robot)
"Hey Grace, Screw me"
(she reaches for a screw, then stops, hesitates and says)
"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

[Sincrum]

One I've heard quite a bit this year, "That's what she said"

[GillSt.Bernards]

One of the girls on my team while we were brainstorming said "How do we get from that to the robot"
