"Quotes" that were said during build season

[GillSt.Bernards]

We had something similer to that but our mentor asked

Mentor: "So how good is your basketball team"
Me: "Runner up in the state championship"
Mentor: "So what is the chance that some of them would come to the competition"
Me: "That's not happening"
Mentor: "So how good are you at basketball"

[The Megan 2207]

When discussing how to decide how to build the robot:
Student: What do you guys do at Medtronic?
Mentor: What do we do at Medtronic? We dance!

During a strategy discussion:
Mentor: So what I want you to do now... *tools clatter to the ground* ...is laugh at Stolte because he just dropped that...

I take offense to this. I say the numbers were right-side-up and it was the bumper that was built upside-down. Also, in 2007 the bumpers didn't really have an upside-down or right-side-up. I was not used to the new system. Besides, our robot was the best upside-down-team-numbered robot ever!

My robot's number was painted upside-down on the front bumper.

Well does it help you to say that the bumpers were built first BEFORE they were painted?

YES THE GREEN LIGHT'S BACK ON! said right after finally getting the cRIO to detect itself.

Person1: "Why are the router and the gaming adapter on two seperate logical networks?"
Me: "A) Define logical B) Because it's not logical"



2008RobotInspector:"Quick put out the fire before the judge comes!" -this was one that the inspector told us he heard one year.

Freshman: "How would i go about cutting this?" (Holds up object)
Mentor: "with Hopes and Dreams"
Freshman: "I don't have any of those...."

[Herodotus]

We have created something in robotics called outside jokes. They are jokes that no one gets. It would be too confusing to explain that one. At any rate, I tried to explain the concept to someone else on the team earlier.

"Inside jokes some people get, but not others. Outside jokes no one get. Inside out jokes some people don't get, but they get why they don't get it, and other people don't get it, and don't get that they don't get it. Outside in jokes one person gets it, another gets that they don't get it, and someone else doesn't get that they don't get it. You get it?"


Got that?

[SCROSSLEY-GCEC]

at our meeting today:

J: "it was so cool, I was walking through the mall with my shoes on..." -trails off-
-laughter ensues-
G: "As opposed to...?"

A Few Months ago when we made a goal-height measuring-block for VEX Elevation:
R: "but you see, mine is 21 inches tall, and yours is only 9"
-laughter around the room-
R: -smirk-

Mentor: "Here keystock keystock keystock! *whistle* Here keystock keystock!!!"


Mentor: "It's an itty bitty part"
Captain: *sings* "Itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini..."
Mentor: "Ok, I didn't need the visual for that one...thanks"


We were talking about the music that we had playing at the time...and we got on the topic of an Alice Cooper concert that one of our designers went to a while ago.
"...and there were a lot of older people there who thought it was still the 70s"
Mentor: "It's not?"


Student: "BOO YAY!"


*hilarious joke is made, student begins laughing hysterically*
Me: "I think we killed him"
Student *recovers from laughing spasm*: "I've been dead for three years"
Mentor: "Well, that explains a lot of his behaviors"

Mentor: "Ten minutes until cleanup!"
Other Mentor: "Ya--I mean, nooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
