"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Kush]

when we have to force fit something to the robot and one hammer doesn't always work the first words out of anyone's mouth was "We need a bigger hammer!" it always eventually ended up at the sledge hammer but before we used that we always actually adjusted it

[suj]

"JOBS?" by me everyday asking around

[NorviewsVeteran]

"When in doubt- bigger motor"

That was early in the build season, and we did end up changing a set up with FP motors to one with a CIM.

Student - "how are we going to get this done all on Thursday?"
Mentor - "Prayer."

We have a rubber mallot that we call "gentle persuasion". Whenever something doesn't fit, we hear:

"Time for gentle persuasion!"

..... when we stayed at the school late one night, and didn't realize the alarm turned on automatically at midnight!

(talking about NZ VEX teams)

Teammate: "I don't understand when you say symbiOHSis! call them onehunga high!"
Me: "what?! thats like saying you know Team #47 Chief Delphi, as Pontiac Central High School!.. or #1114 Simbotics as Governor Simcoe Secondary School... or #100 Wildhats as 'Woodside High School & Carlmont High School & Sequoia Union High School District'!"
Teammates: "...how do you remember all that? we havent even started FRC yet"
Me: "...or #217 ThunderChickens as whatever school they come from"

I got tired of people actually relying on my answers to physics questions, so I came up with the "universal qualifier" in my sig.

On our team the ongoing, boring argument is "Mac vs. Windows." I've instituted a program where anyone arguing about operating systems has to put a dollar in a cup. There are a lot of dollar bills in there.
