"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Ed__]

"OW" "what?" "I stabbed myself with my awards they are SHARP" me and the teams co driver

[McVey]

My personal favorite from this year:

"Guys! Great news!"
"You got the penalty removed?"
"I have no idea, but I got Dean Kamen and John Abele's signatures! Best penalty ever!"
__________________________

Coach: "Do any of you know a Sean? He signed up for the team online."
Myself: "I have no idea who Sean is, don't accept him into the team."
Coach: "Still though, I do want to know who he is... oh well."

-1 week later-

Coach: "I got an e-mail from Sean's mother, they were looking for 3339, Sean is from Tel-Aviv Israel."
Entire team: "WHAT?"

I was so excited we won Chairman's at WPI I accidentally banged the trophy against my mouth, leading to...

"Guys, I think I'm bleeding..."
"How?"
"The triangle part of the trophy hit my gums...but don't worry the trophy's fine"
"Good because I was about to say, if you got blood on that I would've killed you."

That's why they give you two! So if you get blood on one... or sit on one... you're okay!

[kjolana1124]

Actually...now that I think about it...it was the circle...

Ahhh it makes sense now! Glad it's all covered

Mentor: "Eric, you have a very annoying habit of calling people to tell them something they already know whilst they are carrying a very heavy object and have great difficulty reaching their phones."

Student 1: "Where's the emery cloth? The one we had earlier?"
Student 2: "I don't know; I can't find it."
<a few minutes later, after being unable to find it still>
Student 1: "Here, why don't we just use this sandpaper?"
Student 2: "No, that has a different grit; we need to find the sandpaper."
<five minutes later...realize this is 1:00 AM the day before competition>
Student 2: "You sure we can't just use this sandpaper?"
Student 1: "Give me that..."
<stomps into an unused room and throws the paper away>
Mentor: "I didn't know there was a storage room in there."
Student 1: "Actually, that's an elevator shaft."
Mentor: "Oh...okay."

While we were attaching some power cables to the Cypress board...
Student: "Can you hold it in while I screw?"

Announcer at VCU: "And it looks like 2168 is practically undefended but 411 is sitting right in front of them..."

[smurfgirl]

[I'm a college student not actively on a team, but I talk about FIRST a lot. At this point, I was telling my friends about how I'll be volunteering at the Boston Regional and they should come check it out.]

"I'm definitely going to the competition... I want to see Ellen in her natural habitat."

I would just like to point out that the announcer you are quoting is me (see avatar), good catch! I remember this quote too... one of the members of my team made fun of me for it. What I was trying to communicate was that 2168 had no defense being played on it because 411 had died on the field in front of their goal and therefore had to drive carefully to get the balls away from 411 without causing any intentional damage.

Of course, if you saw me there, I was running around, jumping, yelling, etc... at basically all times, there's no time for corrections, only ACTION. Haha, I hope my overall performance otherwise makes up for that fun blunder?

Me: "I'm amazed that the announcer's voice doesn't sound like he tried to swallow a chainsaw." Said about you, McVey.

Oh, don't feel too bad; I'm the guy who made fun of you for it. I'm Josh, that programming guy from last year - remember? I was hanging out with you guys because my current team didn't make it to the eliminations and you did. Look through this thread and read my posts; you'll remember many of the quotes.

Your announcing was absolutely amazing, Kevin. On Friday morning I was rather upset and disappointed because my team wasn't doing very well. Then I listened to some of your announcing, and it made my day. I especially love the way you annunciate the team names. When you introduced, "Steve and His Company" I burst out laughing.

Great job with the announcing and making it to the semifinals.

I should have figured it was you! Haha, that's one of my favorite quotes of me too, I wondered if anyone else caught it. Also serious thanks for the compliments, it means a lot!

"This must be how blind people see"

[sashboy226]

I was sitting cross legged on the floor with a two x four in my lap drawing random red lines on the side I was going to cut off because I didn't feel like cutting it yet. One of my team-mates was sitting with a rolling chair rolling away because she "didn't want to be involved with this anymore." A second team-mate who I was working with was leaning against the end-mill looked at her and said

"It's not my fault I'm an enabler!"

Earlier that day with that same enabling team mate (who happens to be build leader):

Me: "DUDE! the fact that you lost 26 points was a sign from the karmic...karmic...umm...."
Build Leader: "Karmic Chameleons???"
Both: "5 minutes of laughter"
