"Quotes" that were said during build season

[1086VEX]

well today our coach, myself, and a couple of other students were cleaning up our work space. we were in the process of sorting through some scrap metal when my coach pulls our a piece and begins to say what we could've used this for...
my teammate john grabs a similar piece and goes...

John-what is this, aluminum?
coach- no its metal.

of course we craked up

student to mentor: "we're in twelfth"
mentor: "cool"
a little while later....
student to mentor: "we're second!"
mentor: "I don't believe you, go take a picture"
she does, and shows him....
a little while later...
student to mentor: "we're first!!!!!"
mentor: "Nooo....."

"Back in the days when my friends and I used to hack satellites..." Chad Miller our technology mentor, we promptly closed his office door so he wouldn't get arrested.

As he is telling us some of the "stupid things we've done."
Chad: "There was a bridge..."
Cody: "Did you blow that up too?"

"Hey, that shooter setup looks like it could potentially break the limit switch..."
"Let's test it!" (proceeds to bang shooter arm as hard as possible against the piece of 80/20 which it normally rests on)

"Ok, new plan. We duct-tape the programmers to their chairs until the camera tracking works."

"How's the flyweel shooter working?"
"We've renamed it. It's now the duct-tape and ziptie shooter."
"Why's that?"
"It shoots duct-tape and zipties."

"Robotics is really preparing us for jobs at NASA. Look. We're past deadline, overweight, overbudget, and our [project] doesn't even work!"

"There's a small bug in my password changing script: it won't change the password unless the new password is the same as the old one."

"The harvester almost harvests, the shooter almost shoots, the robot almost drives, and the code almost compiles!"

"Looks like we have to reset our 'number of days without killing a speed controller' counter again. It was up to 4!"

"What smells like smoke?"
"Hey guys, first fire of build season!"
After a few minutes...
"So what happened?"
"A freshman wired four victors backwards and we tried to run a motor in reverse. They shorted and caught on fire."
"Wait, so you killed four victors at once?"
"Yes."
"New high score!"

And my sig.

Well at least I think that it was water. Actually I hope it was water. Well anyway I pushed the plunger thingy down with so much force that it cracked."

Mentor: "So there is a drill bit in it why?"

Marshall: "I wanted to make sure it was really cracked so I stuck a drill bit in it"

Mentor: "OOh that makes a lot of sense *rolls her eyes* come on guys you have to pay attention. we are in a chemistry lab and what if that was not water that you took out of the sink. You have to watch what you are doing and where you are putting things and move things that can be harmful. (turns around and almost knocks over the 6.0 M hydrochloric acid)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On our robots shooter "ARE YOU STILL THERE???" and yes that is a portal quote

[Novi Hopper]

I feel compelled to contribute.

Mentor: *checks rankings* That last match bumped us up to 6th. For our first event, we're doing pretty well!
Student 1: ...That's not right. We can't be THAT far up on the first day.
Student 2: What day is it?
Mentor: Uh, Friday the 13th...
Student 3: That explains it. We're just immune to everyone else's suffering.

------
*digging through the electrical bins*
Student 1: *pulls up a tightly wrapped object* Uh, what is this?
Student 2: Lead. Don't ask.
Student 1: Uh...Isn't this kinda dangerous to have in here?
Student 2: We like to imagine it makes the electrons go faster.

------
Marketing Leader: Ooo, I always wanted to solder! Wanna teach me?
Electrical Leader: Sure. We need to find the tips of my fingers and shreds of burnt flesh and we'll set you up.
Marketing Leader: Uh...I'll go work on Chairman's.

------
Programming Leader: Chris!
Chris (Pneumatics Leader): What?
Programming Leader: Robot go "psssh!" Fix!

This later turned into "Beepu" for programming, "Ga-lunk" for drivetrain, "Chrff" for chassis, "Vrrrrk" for gamespec, and "Biz-zit" for electrical.
------
*after weighing the robot for eliminations*
Inspector: Yup! You're fine. Dropped from 119.6 to 118.9.
Mentor: Grea-...Did we lose weight? What? How?
Student: We didn't take anything off...
Mentor: We're going to interpret this as a good sign.
Student 2: I'll go get the duck-tape and the lead block.

------
Sensors Leader: ...Did we just blow a year's worth of Victors?
Student: Uh...
Sensors Leader: ...And how far are we into the build season?
Student: 40 minutes?

------
Mentor 1: *finishing up weight meeting* Haha! And if we need more weight, we'll take it out of programming.
Programming Student: Namun, make your code lighter!
Namun (Programming Leader): *smashing at his computer* I'M CHUNKING AS FAST AS I CAN!

------
Driver: Its ROBOTICS!
*activates shooter and smacks a student with a moonrock*

------
Student: Should we be worried that the only blood spilled this year is from programming?

------
Sensors Leader: Who're we with next round? Anyone we know?
Scouting Leader: Mr. and Mrs. Stationary Trailer.

-said by me while designing a T-shirt cannon to mount on the robot for use in a spirit assembly-

"if this injures anybody, we're totally getting arrested for illegal building and use of a mortar"

[XXShadowXX]

One programming meeting:

Me: We build codes to work not test!
Brandon: Yeah!

Mentors: 'Laughing to hard to respond'

[Fuller]

"In theory it will work"

[Fro]

One student is deburring a piece of fresh cut metal in our machine shop and slices his finger on a bur.
Another student sees this, "Mr. Kreiger, your son's spewing blood all over the machinery!"
Mr. Kreiger runs into the shop, "Quick, someone get the blood off the lathe and cover the mill."

[misspunk]

"I don't have the brain power to do that."
Needless to say I have said some pretty stupid stuff during the season.

[Oblarg]

"All your CH₃CH₂NH₂ are belong to us. You have no chance to survive ha ha ha ha."

[Fro]

"Yet another mallet with a personality." said when a student found a mallet with smilies drawn on each side.

"That is some of the worst human-playering I ever seen"
"That is the worst grammars I ever heard."

[Bsteckler]

"We're number 60!"
"We're number 60!"
"We're number 60!"

After epically phailing in our qualification matches...
