"Quotes" that were said during build season

[The Megan 2207]

After a Saturday of building:
Team member's mother: I thought you guys didn't have the robot on wheels yet."
Team member: We didn't.
Me: We didn't even have the chassis until the PROGRAMMING team built it!

True story.

[Joe G.]

P1: (Arguing for his helical lift design): Think of how a snow blower cuts into the snow.
P2: Umm, is that a good thing?

While eating snack right ater school, which just happened to be goldfish.

"Look, a flying fish!"
I then proceed to throw the goldfish, hitting the person sitting across from me square in the forhead! everyone bursts into laughter.

Another member and I finished building a prototype of our shooter and began testing it.

Member: "What is that loud clicking noise? I don't think the chain is supposed to sound like that."
Me: "Don't worry. It will be fine."
Member (When I tilt it upward to change the angle): "It sounds like something is going to break. I wouldn't touch that thing."
Me: "That's why I am touching it, because I have supreme confidence in my design! And because I'm crazier than you."

Our teacher said this to us when we were being really noisy-
"Listen to my pneumatics- shhhhh"

[Daniel885]

"Now here's the weed-smoking part of this design..."

No diagonals.

Team Member: "There's blood on the chain."
Me: "Oh great. Not again."
Team Member: "What?"
Me: "I'm bleeding again. And I don't know where its coming from."

After a night of prototyping a 4-counter-rotating-wheel ball shooter (at about 2 AM in the car):

Me: You know, we should build a huge one and put it around the world!
Richard: You can't fire the world!

This was an exchange between my mentor and I talking about last year's robot.

Me: "didn't we have waterford crystal's on last year's robot?"
Mentor: "No let's be realistic here. They were Swarovski"

[GillSt.Bernards]

Marshall: "it is only a guesstimation"

Also Marshall is always blamed for loosing everything (usually he does)
Me (Over the phone with him and his sister who is also on the team trying to find the mounting screws): "ooh we found them Marshall hid them again."
Marshall: "Where did I hide them this time?"
Me: "Under the second half of the KOP checklist. That reminds me where is the first half."
Marshall: "Uhhh"

My proposal to the sponsorship board;

"So we put this big sticker on it that says 0 grams of deathcrystals, and we will be the greenest team out their, and then get all this quack science proving how we don't have deathcrystals and how common they are in robots, like how common snakes are on planes."

[NorviewsVeteran]

Mentor: "I'd say she works!"
Student: "Why can't it be a he this time?"
Mentor: "Alright fine, HE works, whatever it is, I don't care what the gender is as long as it works."

Then the student noticed my camera was still recording the test we were doing.


Or just watch the video (at the end)

Here's a few...
• During a fund raising event my friend was talking about the Xerox Creativity Award during a speech and she pronounced it "X-ron". She couldn't seem to figure out why she was laughed at.

• “Little soccer kids go to Subway ‘cause their so soccerish”

• “Did you just fart? Oh, no, that’s my phone”

• “We represent the Lollypop Guild, the Lollypop Guild, the Lollypop Guild”(This one was sung by our head mentor)

Sometimes the hole is off center and the answer I hear most often is:
"The drill bit walked"
