"Quotes" that were said during build season

[dude__hi]

When I walk into the house....
Mom: Did you have anything to eat today?
Me: Yeah I had steel, aluminum, some graphite, WD-40, some grease and a bunch of fiberglass.
Mom:That's what you had yesturday...

"Grease equals torque"

Continued from last year.

God, everyone on 195 should get that one.

[Tom Bottiglieri]

"It needs more torque? Add some grease.."

And in response to the weird looks...

"What.. someone on Chief Delphi said it!"

[RbtGal1351]

"Find a pot! We need it for speed!"
^ While working on the OI, we needed a potentiometer to control the speed of our shooting motor...


S: (working on chassis, random observation) "Hey, metal bounces"
*5 minutes later, S tries to sing DHT's Listen to Your Heart*
D: "You know, metal bounces off foreheads too"

MENTOR: "hey theirs a loose pwm in your electric box
ME: oh that doesn't go anywhere anymore... i think

Steimel...delete some code to save some weight

Engineering Lead: "What about you? Are you self-lubricating?"
Me: "To a certain extent..."

[cgrace]

"Can I put up a tent in your front yard so I can work on the robot 24/7?"

Our team works in my dad's (the coach's) garage.

"What we lack in precision we make up for in slop."

[Chrispy393]

"It's only a mere flesh wound!" -Whenever someone would get hurt (and I'd usually do some minor flippage.)

"...Alpha-Freshmen..." -The title went around and around...

"TAG!" -New game...er...scare a guy by screaming it and going to kick them where it hurts.

"Hi Paul!...Hi Everybody!"

"No! If I touch it my finger will fall off!" -Fear of soldering...

"Did you kill the fish again Chrispy?!"

Then there was just random stuff that didn't exactly have big quotes...like launching cucumbers (and other veggies), snowball fights, wrestling, "samurai noodle schoolings," and of course random dodgeball fights in tech labs with cameras...and then getting yelled at the next day. Ahh, I'll miss the build season!

Team Member: "Ya Think we have enough speed holes?"
Myself:" There are never enough speed holes."

Mentor: "Alright, you dont get a root beer float until you eat at least 2 slices of pizza." (This was said by one of our mentors on the last saturday that we were allowed to build. Around 8:00 pm we had a break for dinner, considering we had been working since 9:00am. And for some reason, she brought Ice cream and Root beer, So.....Ya know when in rome.......)

Mentor: (Imitating Crocodille Dundee) Thats not a knife.....(Pulls out his pocket knife) Now thats a knife!

[Borgel]

"Don't cry, it's just a flesh-wound. It's how the robot shows its affection." (oddly like the one above)

"I'd eat and sleep, but that would put me behind schedule."

"Unfortunately it's not broken, that's the way it's supposed to be."

"So, this makes us the last ones on campus and the first ones on campus, right?" (After working through midnight)

"Robotics took over my life. When I said I was going to a party, she assumed that I meant a robotics conference with food...She was only half right."

"Warranty does not cover magic smoke." (Darn that magic smoke)

"Only 40 Amps? Psh, I don't need no spec sheet telling me what to do."


So much robotics goodness. Gotta love it.

[Figment]

"Chuck Norris has got nothing on Woodie Flowers!"
