Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

This one was at the Cleveland Regional in 2008.
A fellow mentor and I were talking with a mentor from another team in his pit area. While he was talking to us, he turned around and said to some of the students on his team "Tards, stop that!" My fellow mentor said "Why do you call them Tards?" The mentor replied "Because they can't be retards until they do it again."

We were quite amused.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

This really isn't a quote but it is really funny

Alex and Billy are two of our mentors who are mechanical engineers. Most of our mentors are enviornmental engineers. Alex and Billy don't usually come but one day they were helping us (since I was the only student there) we needed a triangle shaped piece of lexan and they offered to help. (Alex is Billy's boss and he knows that he could not do what he does without Billy and Billy knows that too.) So they tried to cut the triangle out and you could hear them arguing
Billy: That is not right are you a idiot"
Alex: "No I am not trust me I know what I am doing."
They come back with a triangle shaped piece of Lexan and try and fit it in. It won't go in.
Billy: "See I told you so nw it is my turn to try"
Alex: *growls*
Billy comes back looking smug and he tries his it does not fit either. They try 18 more times and on the 21st try they fially get one that fits. Then Billy goes
Billy: "See I told you I could do it"
At that point Sandra (one of our other mentors) are on the ground laughing. The team now has so mny inside jokes about that exprience

While building a trailer:

During robot design discussions:

One member of our team wrote "Gullible" and "Gullible 2.0" on tape and stuck them to the ceiling at a meeting.

"I made it work! Wait...how did I do that?" - Me, several times over during the design process.

------

*Autodesk Inventor crashes on our oldest, most outdated, and just plain terrible laptop*
Student: "Uhh...Inventor just crashed. Can we replace this computer?"
Mentor: "No, that's just a software problem. All CAD programs like to do that."
*1 hour later, Inventor crashes on my laptop*
Me: "Inventor crashed."
Mentor: "See, I told you, it's a software problem!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

We were trying to write a paragraph about our lead team advisor and team co-captains and we asked him what exactly he does on the team.

His Answer: "I'm the head nut that keeps all the other nuts in line." (pointing at me and my co-captain)
