This is while I was rebuilding a gear box while we were walking to que because the set screw came out of the motor

Mentor "This is not good"
Me "here just let me do it"
*Takes the whole gear box appart puts the screw in puts the whole thing back together before we reach que"
Mentor "you memorized how to put these together"
me "yeah"
Mentor "wow and I thought I was a dork"

"WHAT?" "YEAH!" "OK!" - team cheer. its loud and hurts the throat

"I was the center of a 200 person mosh pit"
"Oh my"
"Whats 'oh my'?"
"That's not normal"
"It is here" - my older sister (not a robotics person) and I

"Sorry, I tried to insert logic into competition" - random voice behind me at GKC

"I have apple in my shoe!" - Dyta-Dee while crating our robot for Dallas

Me: Woah, those are shiny balls!
Some guy who heard me: Why thank you!
-While helping set up the field and pits for the Kettering competition, I was walking back to the pit area and passed where they were bringing in the soccer balls.

Said countless times by many people: Let's go hang ourselves!

Me to team: We should go to a safety guy after this and POINT it out!
-Back in the stands after our team won the Excellence in Engineering award at Kettering. Has anyone else noticed how sharp the tip of the triangle of the award is?

Me: There should be an award for a GRAYT small team!
-A few minutes later in the stands during the awards, I was making punny jokes and stuff. For the people who don't know, our team only has 5 students on it. XD

My favorite quote that I said during competition:
Me: Team 1322 graciously accepts!
-As team captain, I got to go out for the alliance selection, and team 1322 was chosen~ Thank you to teams 201 and 245~

The Penny:

Waiting in the que for our 3rd match, we look down and find a penny. Heads up. We picked it up and pocketed it, and we won the match. Afterward, we taped it to the robot and every time we went up we would kiss the penny, and win.

So day 3 rolls by and we forget to kiss the penny. Guess what, Battery falls out and gets dragged around the field.

All hail the magic penny!

We have! One of our sponsors/mentors lightly stabbed herself on one of our awards at Pittsburgh. We put one of our safety cones on it afterwards [: That's also where this quote came from.

You would think that they would have the point rounded down; after all, safety FIRST~

My friend when watching a FIRST competition for the first time: Awwww! The robots are so cute!
-She has heard endless stories of robotics from me, and only just saw her first competition match. XD
