"Quotes" that were said during build season

[demosthenes2k8]

bot190: "I can't find the Calibrated Router Resetting Tool"
me: "Just make a new one!"
bot190: "But that's a waste of paper clips!"
(Yes, it's a straightened paper clip with a label on it)

This was said just a matter of minutes ago...we are working on a prototype chassis to figure out the drive train and electrical components since we are a rookie team.


Talking about adding weight to the chassis to make it more realistic and robust...
Mentor: we will have to have a small child on it...maybe a couple...
Student: I'LL MAKE ONE REAL QUICK!

[coaches talking to students about something or annother]
random student, very loudly: "Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen????"
different student: "He was number one!!!!"
One of the coaches: "Thank you spongebob" -.-"

[= D LOL]

"All the small things you do right always make the biggest difference".

[216Robochick288]

Me: "Nothing like coffee, a Monster, and a few no bake cookies to start your morning off!"
Teammate Izzy: "Whats all the caffine for?"
Me:"I need to be awake for robots chasing me!"

I'm nutritious for being easy to colour track, I wear bright green and maroon almost 100% of the time...

We had someone like that last year, always wore green. In 2009 we got some construction paper and covered half of him in the pinkish color used on the targets. Best target practice ever

"We really try to enforce a sense of community." Me, in our Chairman's video.

When building our pre-season scrap bot:
"Can't we just cut it?"
Can't we just break it?"

Mentor: "Careful, if you wire this backwards it's about as loud as a gunshot"
student: *looks at the board* "Can we try that?"

Oops, spelling fail, I ment notorious...

Anyhow, next quotes!

"It doesnt care what you sign in as! you could type in 'PicklesMcPiclely_Pants' with the correct password and it will sign in."
"Why does it have the username then?"
"Maybe it makes a log of who signs in so people can laugh at it later. [pretending to read the log]
PicklesMcPiclely_Pants..... Karl... Abby.. Dragons.. Troll under the bridge... Your mum... Chuck Norris.. Rick Astly... wait! who signed in as Rick Astly!"

[later]
"Does the answer 'FIRST' mean anything to you?"

Our programming sub-team, while learning C++, misheard 'code' as 'toad', which lead to this bit of wit:

Toad.Release(epicness)

Not sure what we're going to do about making that line up with the WPI lib specs for the parameter....

[Bethie42]

While brainstorming how to pick up a cylinder and place it on end:

'I think at all costs we should avoid building a robotic human hand.'

[demosthenes2k8]

"So I think that what we've decided is...we want to score tubes."

[Bethie42]

Question! Was it Dean or Dave who said, while talking about the game during the kickoff broadcast, 'Now the diabolical plan here....' and then, I think, went on to talk about partnering with FLL and so on.
I am almost positive it was Dean but we must attribute CORRECTLY...hehe...


[edit] And Dave's story about the rookie team that packed their robot in FedEx boxes! Epic! Was that FRC Team 166 or 116? Demosthenes, do you know?]

[demosthenes2k8]

I want to say it was Dave.

A: "Okay, we have a strategy. Can we build the robot now?"
B: "No, not yet."
A: "AWwww..."
