Weekend before ship in 2009
"what do you mean were 40 pounds over the limit!"

[Madman503]

our coach was a soccer player and was trying to show off when we were cleaning up the field and just about to leave.

Mr. Hepler:"ok, i'm gonna try to slightly curve it through the tower and into the goal". He kicks the ball it flies strait up and shatters a flood light.
Me:"well i guess were not leaving just yet".

after 3 hours of talking later...

Me:"ok, well we should be going. Mr. hepler can you help me take these lights to my car?"
Mr. Hepler:"sure"...hits the door and drops yet another flood light...
Me: *sighs* ill get the broom...

This may have been said...not reading all the posts!

This was said this week at Lego camp by one of our robotic's students:

"Too many engineers spoil the robot!"

[FRC4ME]

During a Skype chat between me and two of the programmers:

Programmer 1: Here are the parts we got...resistors <tosses bag>...capacitors <tosses bag>...perf board <tosses bag>...<silence>...

Me: When you tossed that perf board did it happen to land on your mute button?

Programmers: <smiles followed by laughter as the audio returns>...whoops

While watching fireworks:
Me: "I kind of want to yell "OINK OINK" before one of these goes boom"
Alex: "Oink oink"
Firework: BOOMMMMMM *shower of orange and green sparks*

...and then my normal friends gave us the most confused looks you have ever seen.

Team 1772 was asking for suggestions for alliance partners when they were on the field and so we were yelling out "1758!!!" but they ended up choosing 2751 and then our teams driver yelled out "But we gave you zip-ties!!"

I was helping a team member with his chemistry homework (cause grades are that important on our team) and this conversation came about

Me: What are you working on?
Kody: Stickyomerty.
Me: You mean stoichiometry?
Kody: Same ?#@%ing thing!

Only at robotics....we were setting up the field at an off-season event and a student runs in the door, yells 'I just lost The Game!' and runs back out again....there was a collective groan from everybody in the room.

"Aluminium is cheaper than a babysitter"

[Wayne Doenges]

Here's another:

"Losing is temporary but giving up is permanent"

"You broke it, you fail at life, and you just lost the game."
