"We build the team through really enforcing a sense of community." Me in our Chairman's award video. It's become a team meme now.

Anytime an inappropriate comment is made at robotics, its always on Thursday. Therefore, we say, "Its a D5 Thursday." Any other day these comments are frowned upon.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

"Wait until the elims on Einstein. I'm betting that for the finals, at least half will be MI teams, which equals excitement."
"I think the einstein teams/division finalists will be 469, 217, 67, 1918, 1718, 33, and 201 And just have 247 show up randomly too"
"I can't disagree with that list Don't forget that 1189 will be there, in spirit (absolutely no pun intended)"

I wasn't aware that the idea of being somewhere "in spirit" could be punny. Until this year.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

(I'm a machinist, and when I was learning how to use the equiptment such as the mill and the various saws, my favorite mentor half jokingly said...)

You always measure with a micrometer, mark with a chuck, and cut with an axe!

(safety glasses...for a Nerf gun war. Someone might not live to see the daylight if they tried using that as a legitimate excuse in the shop)
