Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

Other programmer:Why do we have a function called "om_nom"?
Me:That's what controls sucking the balls in
Other programmer:And what does "nom_om" do?
Me:That spits the ball out

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

we got out a ladder and went on the roof of our school to "borrow a fan from an exhaust unit. after using a rope to get the whole assembely off the building and into the shop one of the students said "did we just commit grand theft air conditioner" (we put the exaust unit back up and assembled and bolted back onto the roof, the fan was not the right kind.)

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

This one happened just yesterday.

Sandra (Mentor): OOh right here (in the manual) is says that we are not allowed to put anything on the robot that would intentionally start a fire. Man, I guess that means no fireworks display."
Charles (freshmen): "Or Flamethrower" (looking really disapointed)

M: We have extra parts from the gearboxes.
A: WHY DO WE HAVE EXTRA PARTS???????
M: Um...because the construction is a simple one...

"What? Grease? Where does it say 'put grease' in the instructions? Oh...haha...it's a footnote..."

"Lithium is an antidepressant...don't breathe the grease in..."

"THEY HAVE NO RESTRICTIONS ON DUCT TAPE THIS YEAR!!!"

And, of course, the classic "Oops."

John choose to give one of his sandwiches to one of our more hefty members.
Just then someone looked up and said: "But I'm skinny."

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

At the end of the meeting today I had Free Bird playing over our in ceiling speakers, playing guitar on a yard stick.

One of the other students said "Wow you are weird."

so I says "This is robotics club, I'm supposed to be weird."
