"Quotes" that were said during build season

[TheSousaLife]

"See on the Farm"
"I Bet You Kids Haven't Ever Held a Hammer"

-Ed Barker Team 1311

Though this started out as a student joking to another student while cutting material on the band saw, it turned into the season's catch phrase while at the build site and a good number of students were constantly heard saying it.
"Don't Mess Up"

[Rynocorn]

"What plugs into he Digital I/O slots?"

"Certainly not A's, E's, or U's!"

Here's a few of ours:
"Ignore it until it becomes a problem."
"All the faith he had had had had no effect on him."
"If the school is burning down, programmers and robot out first!"
"WHO'S NOT USING LUBE??"
"School first, robotics second."
"IT'S CRUNCH TIME!" *dubstep music intensifies*

[rkbot]

It doesn't fit properly?

"Its only the practice robot"
"Its fine the ducktape will hold it"
" Ill hog it out with an endmill in the drill so it fits"
" jb weld"

[RobotDoktor]

"When you use lithium grease things will go smoothly."

Im pretty sure robotics is FIRST

[Reeve L.]

Electrical Lead: "Should I wire that?" Became our 2012 catch phrase...

[nxtmonkeys]

Me: OK, so i'll give the joystick a little nudge foreward and...
(pushes the joystick about 5 degrees foreward, robot then proceeds to ram itself into the wall at high speeds)
Other team member: OK. WHO SCALED UP THE JOYSTICK VALUES?



Visitor: Did that camera on the robot just move?
me: No.
(visitor walks over to a table. camera swivels to follow him.)
Visitor: I swear that it just moved again.
(looks at me with my hand on the joystick. The camera swivels back to where it was before. The visitor looks back at it and yells)
Visitor: HAHA!

Mentor: "Hey Troy, can you hand me a washer?"
Me: "Washer? I barely know her!"

We decided (jokingly of course) that both customary and SI units are garbage and invented our own measurement system all based on our largest 2" diameter pneumatic cylinder, which we named "Pneumasiah", and each type of unit was all called the same name: a Pneum

These units exchange to:
-1 Pneum (pressure) = 60 PSI (pressure the piston operates at)
-1 Pneum (length) = 24 3/8" (Measured stroke Pneumasiah)
-1 Pneum (time) = Time Pneumasiah takes to extend 1 Pneum(length) at 1 Pneum(pressure), not officially measured yet
-1 Pneum (mass) = Weight of Pneumasiah, not officially measured yet

Funny quote related:

"how fast does our robot accelerate?" "Oh, about 6 Pneums per Pneum squared"

I'm pretty sure we have one of those exact cylinders lying around (it's completely useless, of course, but at some point in the past someone figured that if we were going to get a free cylinder we might as well get a big one). We just call it the "BFC." If nothing else, it makes a good demonstration piece for preseason training.

Student in charge of compressor and pneumatics :
"stop pressuring me"
"pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh pneumatics"
"tanks for the air"

when told to start working on code:
"programmers, Line up "

using calipers : "its approximately this much"
(ok that one was me, don't worry I actually measured after that)
