"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Ringo5tarr]

"I'M SCREWING"

*Assorted innuendos*

"Stop blaming everything on your pancreas!"

[frcguy]

"That hurt my earballs!"

or

"MY EARBALLS!"

Yelled by one of our mentors whenever we make loud noises.

[jijiglobe]

"What if we make it to Einstein with this horribly broken robot?"

"I'll start a thread on CD about it, but for now, don't let anyone know that we're broken."

[rlounds]

"If one of the arrows is backwards the ball won't know where to go!"
-our team captain to me and one of our alumni when we bent the metal for iur intake the way the CAD told us too.

[ShIfTiNgBoT]

(this conversation happens as the song Another Brick In The Wall by Pink Floyd comes on)
*right after you hear the lyrics "we don't need no education"
Me: Nick its your theme song!
Nick:yay....wait! Shut up!

[Wolf103FM]

"All hail the green sharpie" usually said when someone was looking for it

[Jherbie53]

During the first Saturday after the game was announced we were testing a prototype of out shooter. Tim, one of our mentors, said after shooting a couple of balls, "We need to increase the squish". A couple of us were like "increase the squish?". Tim replied "Yeah the squish factor needs to be higher". Thus one of our favorite quotes was born.

[Daniel Morse]

"Chris, your collector sucks" -me in reference to our collector mechanism, which sucks balls up into the hopper and had just worked absolutely perfectly in a demo. Chris designed it, and needless to say, agreed with what I had to say.

[BrianR]

When working with our shooter wheel:

"Hey look at the camera, its in motion blur! I wonder if it'll still be able to pick up the light?" Said as the robot was shaking violently due to a bent shaft on the shooter wheel.

And then the daughter board with the lens vibrated itself out. Yeah... that was bad.

"What do you mean we haven't a prototype.. its week3!!!!"

[Josh363663]

actually water and electricity mix exceptionally well that is the problem

[StephLee]

"Okay, that drive train is out." "Why?" "Cause it would have cost $1200!"

"Here, catch!" (Said before tossing a trackball)

[Otaku]

URGH, I left my notebook at school. The one with most of the good quotes. Well, I'll be there tomorrow anyways so =p

Although one of my favorites is:

"An Arm is not a Hand." - Blake Hooper, Manufacturing Leader.
