My team has one of those cylinders. My mentor couldn't think of a need for a cylinder for that year and we had a free one, so we got a HUGE cylinder. When it is fully out, it is taller than our tallest member!

____________
Mentor: Get someone from the drive team

____________
Mentor: JB Weld is not very strong anyway

Today as we are drilling final mounting holes for a part:
student: We are just drilling holes on the fly. Nothing new.
Mentor: I would be careful drilling holes in the fly.
*Everybody cracks up laughing
student: on the fly, not in the fly
Mentor: well that changes things quite a bit, doesn't it?

I'm wondering what some of the more interesting "quotes" or phrases said this year. It doesn't matter who said them, a student, a teacher, or a mentor. One of mine this year was "Ball chunk colorer person". That was said when someone asked why i was coloring a ball with a sharpie.

Yes. Problem?

"The code never bothered us anyways" But in reality it really did.
"Why aren't you tape?!" You can never have enough tape.
"You brought a flashlight for dumpster diving?" At least the spirit sub-team recycles!

Everyone in the car (as we are riding home as I type) is starting to get quite delirious after 7-8 hours on the road. Almost home. One member just started swinging his torso around in circles and shouted "I WANNA BE A BLENDER WHEN I GROW UP!"

More of a funny story, but still relevant.

After walking back through the tunnel to get to our pit after a match, we see Will.I.Am getting a funnel cake at the tunnel entrance.

3 of our drive team took a picture and continued on to the pit. But the 4th was also pushing the robot,

After he returns to the pit and we talk about Will.I.Am for a moment I turn to Student 4 and say, "Where is the robot?"

After a embarrassing moment and a "You had One Job" comment, he hurries back to retrieve our robot from the funnel cake place.

Our lead Mentor laughed after we told him what happened after we were back on the bus.

Fellow mechanical student is looking for his zip-ties.
I grab electrical's bin of zip-ties.
"How many of these in here are yours?"
".... Gosh darn it electrical NOT ALL OF THE ZIP-TIES ARE YOURS!"
