"Quotes" that were said during build season

[EdwardP]

Our yearbook has only last years member list on it and the championship picture...

from our offseason event back in October that very few people went to and even fewer are in.

[The Zevling]

The only thing I know of that our yearbook has done was demote a member (and others) to a lower grade. Twice!

[The Zevling]

Not really during build season, but said by a team member:

"I have an army of marmots, and you don't."

[demosthenes2k8]

True story from Biology, where me and 2 other team members are in the same class:
(We're trying to find the switch for a light for a lab. Bear in mind it's dark.)
Me: Where is it?
James: It's right here. But it's not working.
*I try pressing it*
Teacher: Are you guys still having trouble? *twists knob*
Me/James (Forget who said it first): How many robotics kids does it take to turn on a light?

haha... even a rookie team has their fair share...

"Thats what she said!!" - Everyone at some point or another
"Can I get some Linux on those fries?" - Mike
-We were at dinner during the competition, at Ruby Tuesdays or something, and one of our programmers asked for Linux on his fries as a joke. Responses from the waitress included "Lemons?", "Lettuce?", and things like that. Good times, 3044!!

I was amazed that the robotics team had a picture in the yearbook (not that I should have been, just was). They had all the people in the picture listed but misspelled one of the last names

Quotes from our build season:
-four mentors were all trying to get a conveyor shaft into place
Student: "Adult assembly is required"

- Student: "Could someone please explain what 'That's what she said jokes mean'"?
Other student: "You'll understand by the end of build season"

(Karibou already posted all the others I remember)

[The Zevling]

"Let's sing happy birthday... And everyone try to stay on the same note as I am." - One of the few memebers of the team with any musical talent.

"Why do you look so disturbed... Don't you want cake?" - Mentor birthday card to our teacher, which included pictures of two of our college mentors after digital gender-altering surgery. It wasn't pretty.

Actually for our team, we probably had the most during the first year lol

[bladetech932]

this was said during the building of our drive train
"don't force it! get a bigger hammer.

[bobwrit]

"//no comment"-a label we put on our control board.

"that's what she said"

1(build)-"What are you doing?"
2(me)-"Programming realtime Calculus into the robot"
1(build)-0_o-"..."
*1 and the other programmer walk out of room*

Hey, WE didn't get one in the North yearbook! Not fairrrrrrr >.<"

Yep, that's what I'm here for Didn't you always notice me writing stuff down after hearing an explosion of laughter?

-My team award (read: paper plate award) this year was "Paradigmatic Performance as a pulchritudinours Patroness of Pits, Pies and Punctual Postings Award plaudits Kara Bakowski" (upon receiving the award, my response was "I don't know what half of those words mean!")

"SWAT TEAM!"

Was commonly yelled as we were tossing something around in our rare free time, and the student who yelled the phrase intercepted the tossed object (usually a hackey Sack) and smacked it to the ground.

WHOOO! 1806, S.W.A.T. Team!!!

That reminds me of one:

-"It took S.W.A.T. and The Bomb Squad to take us out." (said by numerous members of last year's team.)

We lost to an alliance containing S.W.A.T. Team and The Bomb Squad last year. They ended up winning the regional.

You yell out the names of your 2008 Newton alliance partners too?

Our coach to new drivers: "You need to shake the robot to shoot more balls, so remember to shake it."

Our coach now singing out loud: "Shake, shake, shake, senora, shake your body line."

I started cracking up when he said that.
