"Quotes" that were said during build season

[BeyondReality]

"I'm fluent in russian tools!"

"They get on...with encouragement" - "You mean the hammer?"

"This is so cool! Aluminum shavings all over me. I feel like a princess."

- When are we leaving today?
- When A gets hungry.
- I'm hungry....
- You missed the point. We're leaving when A gets hungry, not you!

"Seems like all I've been doing today is hurting myself and hurting others..."

"There's a scratch across your forehead." - "Yeah..I walked into the robot."

"Hey, it looks robotic now!"

Me: What'cha doin'?
Programming student: Failing

"Debur like mad!!!"

[Herodotus]

Another one I remember now.

Me: It doesn't matter what it's called, it just matters what we call it.

I said this at the end of an e-mail I just sent to the team about paying for Portland. Don't know why, but I guess I wanted to end on a positive note:

"One final note to all rookies: the regional competitions are absolutely incredible and it is hard not to have a good time. However, don't go in with a win-at-all-cost mindset; focus on having fun and that will make your team way cooler than if you just focus on winning all the time."

"Come on man..."
"What???"
"I have cut this piece 4 times and it is still too short!"
"Wow"

[XXShadowXX]

"What's wrong with the accelerometer"
"It's reading 1g on the z axis"
"But its not moving"

Me; "and were still stuck to the ground"

[Karibou]

Student: "He's doing what all engineers do - *other student joins in* Mosey on down to the break room, get a cookie, mosey back to the cubicle, eat the cookie, mosey--"
Engineering Mentor (works for GM): "Haven't you read the newspaper? We cut the cookies"

Jeff: "Yeah they've been here since the beginning, they won the first chairman's award"
