"Quotes" that were said during build season

[iTHOS=awesome]

"If it doesn't work this time we go to plan B"
"Plan B? We are on at least plan YZ69 by now."

"I know, all we need is a small enough freshman to sit inside the frame and throw balls from inside ... no one will ever know."
"But we don't have any freshmen on the team ..."
*looks over at a Sophomore* "How much do you weight?"

"Alright, all we need is a spotlight, and a powerful enough magnifying glass to amplify the power of the light enough to melt the other robots to the regolith, it's totally legal; didn't see anything that said it wasn't."

"The real challenge this year is being able to work without being blinded by the vision targets."
- One of my advisors (paraphrased)

[Creator Mat]

Team question: What should we name our Robot.
Team answer: Gladus... (and yes it is still alive)

[s0crates]

"Why are you stroking my hair with a tape measure?"

[suj]

hmm... some are "GO IRON EAGLES!" another "Whoever said this game is merely athletics hasn't seen the big picture" by me lol (the athletic thing is because when described to some students and teachers and students they said this competition seems to be based on athletics)

[XXShadowXX]

"Of course our traction control will work, but i need to streamline it."
"Why?"
"Because right now it's lagging the dual core 2.89 Ghz processor in the laptop, i don't want to know what it will do to the cRIO."

Annother freshman, poking me in the side-"Poke.... Poke....Poke..."
Me- "WILL YOU STOP THAT?!!??!?!?!"
Oter freshman joins- "Poke... Poke.. Poke..."
Me- "Ugh! Why bother!?!?!?"

[kkay5]

"That looks great! There has to be something wrong with it."

Matt: "Where's my stripper?"
Everyone: "It's right in front of you."
Matt: "No, that's the cheap stripper. Where's my good stripper?"

"We should make a sign that says 'CAUTION: Do not put pneumantics suction cup on forehead. Will cause giant circular hickey'"

[Bsteckler]

*looks at mentor's hand*
Me-What happened to your thumb?
Mentor-This is an objective reminder as to why you don't drink sake and operate a drill press"

[XD_bring_it]

We are standing around the robot clapping. I though it saw someone'e eyes water. "We finished our robot before ship!" T T

[Hellfeier675]

"Guys It's So Inconvenient Delphi is Down at 3 am.... Hey I Was Bored Last Night!!!!"


"You're Doing It Wrong"


"Don't Tell Garth We're Doing It This Way"


"If It Isn't Broke Fix It 'Till It Is ...." - *Or Just Put Your Hair In It XD*


"Hand Check!" >.> <.<

At around 9PM on a weeknight with only two other team members present, we noticed that the shooter mechanism extended beyond where it could...

Me: "Well as long as we're here this late we might as well do something completely stupid" ...then I went for the SkilSaw.

Coach (me):
"New rule...Everett's not allowed to taste any more parts of the robot so stop daring him to do it"

[Leon Canidae]

While looking at the CADD version of our robot.

Me:Well, i'd say it's doing pretty good considering it is apparently held together by either super glue or magic. That and our belts look like carrot sticks.

[Team 135]

That's what she said.
