They thing that Free Bird is weird? Or do they think that playing guitar on a yard stick is? I do that all the time, but instead of playing on a yard stick, I play on a sythe.

One of our members was standing by the window of the shop while we were waiting for our mentors to show up and the following conversation occurred:

Student 1: Are you waiting for Santa Claus?
Student 2: No, I'm waiting for the mentors.
Student 3: Close enough...

Student: How does the hole-maker work?
Mentor: It's a spring-loaded latchey thingy.........

"Lower the guard. Start sawing. Question the sharpness of the saw...."

- How is the second set of gearboxes going to stay?
- Custom mounting.
- What's that?
- You make it yourself.
- DUCT TAPE?

Me, to my dad via cell phone: "I've found a broken and an unbroken moon rock." (OK, so one of them was an Empty Cell, but it looked like a Moon Rock.)

Incidentally, the Rapid City Walmart no longer has any Orbit balls.

-"hand me that rock ball thingy!" (enugh said)
- when you have had pizza, coke, and mountain dew for lunch for the past month or so...

[NorviewsVeteran]

In Norview's first year, the team came into the possession of a mallet with a yellow plastic end and a pink eraser-like rubber end. No one remembers exactly when, but John, the mechanical leader at the time, took a pink marker and wrote "DOOM HAMMER" on the handle. Despite three years of misuse by hammering things meant for a hammer, not a mallet, it still remains a staple in the shop. Every now and then, like during the FTC season, the following exchange (or something close enough) takes place.

1: Hold on, I have to pound this collar onto the axle.
2: Okay
1: Hey, where'd doom hammer go?
2: It poofed!
1: Great. I hope it poofs back this time.
2: Wait. Dude, its on the pegboard.
1: WHEN DID THAT GET THERE?!

EPIC...(said by person from halfway across the buildspace that was not even close to being apart of the converstation)...FAIL!!

[RobotDevil1985]

When it was sugested to make a small robot with a tall pole sticking out the top for the Overdrive game another student responded with,

"That's like tieing a flagpole to a gopher!"

and the room broke out laughing. The quote is still on the board today.

After 2 people drop M&Ms on the ground, "See this is why we can't have nice candy."

[Mew187]

A lot of odd stuff has been said already, but my favorite line of the day:

mentor: we need nail polish, do you know why?

student: are we dressing in drag again?

Shift happens

[Jreed129]

One of our students broke his glasses the other day and during dinner the following conversation occured:

Student 1: Why are your glasses taped?
Student with Broken Glasses: Well I feel that becasue I am on a robotics team I should take geek to a new level. I am going to start where tape on my glasses and a pocket prot........
Student 2: THEY ARE BROKEN

He is still walking around with tape on his glasses
