The day of a 60's themed semi formal a student arrives to robotics wearing a vest.

Teacher: Why are you wearing that now?

Student: Its a teaser for tonight.

From today:

Programmers: It must be a mechanical issue.

Engineers/Mechanics: Well, maybe you should look over the code again.

"So I just saw the back of your head, and I immediately thought 'Why the heck is Kari Byron here?'" -Mentor

[-42-]

"Well that's a programming problem"
"Well that's a drivetrain problem"
"Well that's a fabrication problem"
"Well that's an electrical problem"

All said by me, in my never ending quest to shirk responsibilty.

[MrWibbles]

Coach: "So it's a software problem?" (referring to two motors being inverted)
Me: "Well, it can be fixed in software, but..." (glancing at a teammate busy with a screwdriver) "...it's already being fixed in hardware, so we're okay."

"..and 'O' stands for 'Owesomeness'"
--Team member struggling with a backronym

"Red lights are okay?" [on the Jaguar]
"Well, solid red is okay; that's full reverse."
"What about flashing?"
"Fast flashing is just partial reverse."
"And slow flashing?"
"Fault condition...."

[timytamy]

It doesn't break... It's electronics.

[timytamy]

"Whatever you say... As long as I don't have to move."

[SavtaKenneth]

My friend:"What are you doing?"
Me:"Looking for a screw"
My Friend:"why?"
Me:"Tziporen asked for it"
(Tziporen being the most cute and innocent girl on the team.... she still doesn't understand it )

"Let's find the equation of the line tangent to the pita bread..."

"Legally you can rape me but that won't be harassment"

That's all for today, I'll check the list for more tomorrow

team #2212 The Spikes

[MrWibbles]

I wrote a simulation of a robot (with holonomic drive) moving around and grabbing a ball.

Later:
Me: "So, do we have lasers on the robot?"
Coach: "...no..."
Me: "Do the balls try to escape?"
Coach: "I don't think so."
Me: "I may have outdone myself on this simulation."

[Flyboy_u92]

-Student1 "I really think he can phase through walls!"
Student2 "For reals?"
Student1 "Yeah...I think he has a powertool fetish."
*Deep buzzing and chattering*
Student3 "Did someone say powertools? Please be the drillpress!!!"
