The question however is, is it not better the be safe all the time?

I used to have a problem with safety glasses; I would spend several minutes looking for them when they were on my head. After doing this several times, I got into the habit of periodically checking my head for my safety glasses to make sure hadn't lost them.

Now, I have a different problem: I will check my head for my safety glasses, realize they aren't there, and think I've lost them...when the glasses are on my eyes.

I picked up my prom date in 07 in a '57 Bel Air, 2 months after Atlanta wearing this:

After a bunch of speeches in Seattle that were either encouraging "competing isn't the point" or "put in all you've got":

our programming captain: "So winning isn't everything. It's just the only thing that matters."

Then we went on to lose our next match. Thus proving that Don is never wrong.

Cody is sorting our drill bits...in a different room, we're yelling this to each other.

Cody: I need a seven. Later I've got a 15. There's no 15!
Me: Cut it in half!
Cody: Then it's 7 1/2. It's still too big!
Me: It doesn't matter! It'll work!
Cody: That is so going on "Quote from Build Season"!
Me: I'll beat you too it! (He's got dial up)
Chad: That's just not fair... (in the same room as me)
Cody: No fair!
Me: I'll give you an hour head start!
Cody: I'll beat you then!
Me: No you won't!

Now, this was few days ago. I gave him more than enough time to post this. You lose Cody.

Student: "Is that really an accurate cut?"
Mentor: "We're not a precision machine shop, accurate to within 4/1000 of a inch.
Me: "We're within four inches!"
Other Mentor: "Until it gets bent..."

Tim and Jim are two mentors. Jim does drive train and Tim did the ball system.

Tim: "If you're going to be a Killer Bee, you either have to a) know how to dance well, b) pretend to know how to dance well, or c) look like you know how to dance well."


Me: "According to the CAD drawings, the belt you want to put at the back of the robot runs through where Jim's chain wants to be."

Tim: "You've got it all wrong, My belt does not run through Jim's chain, Jim's chain runs through my belt."


Old Killer Bee saying: "Never use the right tool when the wrong tool is more closely at hand"


Me: "Woody, aren't you supposed to drill pilot holes first?"

Woody: "1/4 inch holes are my pilot holes."

This one isn't from build season. This took place while we were giving out peer awards at the Michigan State Championship. We were presenting the "Sorry We Damaged Your Robot" award or something like that to a team we had crashed into pretty hard in a match the previous day. I can't remember what team we were giving the award to but 33 (The Killer Bees for all who don't know) was right next door...

Girl From Killer Bee's: "Hmm, I've never seen a Sorry We Hurt Your Robot Award before"

Me: "Really? We give out a lot of them..."

Caius: What do you mean Dean's done talking!? Did I pee forever!?

Said after Dean introduced someone. We thought it was a speech from him and we were amazed that it was so short. No, it was a long introduction...
