"Quotes" that were said during build season

[RockerRobot]

"No Purple! It'a not Agency colors"

"STOP WIRE STRIPPING PENCILS"

"If I stay in this circle I will end up killing all of you"

[dsmeanaethorn42]

"The more I think about this, the more I think FIRST is trying to show us how much of a hassle recycling is."

Does the router need a hard reset?
(goes and grabs a large hammer that says hard reset on the side of it)

Mechanical team member who knows nothing about electronics: We redid some of your wiring.
Electronics: What did you change?
Mechanical: we switched the output numbers for the motor controllers because the mecanum wheel programming guide said to put them in a different order
Electrical: I use a certain order to make troubleshooting easier, put it back to how it was by Monday and fix it in the programming or have fun trying to scrape the epoxy off the electronics connectors.
(it was fixed right away)

Every time we clean, we can't find anything anymore!

As the season advances, we just start making random noises instead of words:
ex.
vrr vrr -> get me the drill
gaber gaber -> boltcutters
mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh -> we messed up
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh -> good enough

So to make dinner we can cut a potato and fill it with some rice and potatoes!"

"We should get a cast iron bust of Dean as a counterweight on the back of our bot!"

A little bit later, after some tote testing:

"Okay, so maybe we need a bust of Dean AND Woodie."

[Wyatt Jordan]

mentor: "Some of us have work"
student: "[mentor name], how many times do we have to tell you work doesn't matter during robotics season?!?!?!"

"hand me the persuader"
persuader=hammer

*when it turns out that our subsystems are going to get in each other's way/ discover a major problem
"I don't like this game"

"Dremel" (nuff said)

"every electrical component has this magic smoke in it that wants to come out, your job is to keep the smoke in the system" -something like this is said every other meeting to the electrical team

"wait we're actually designing it in CAD before we build it? Usually we do that afterwards" -said literally yesterday by a mechanical member while i CADed

[MechEng83]

Students took all the totes we bought for practice and built a fort out of them in one of our meeting rooms. One of the students after seeing it commented "That fort is legit" and the mentor in the room asked "Is it ... totes legit?..."

[RockerRobot]

"it's not over..the fat lady hasn't sung yet"

[RockerRobot]

"we should team up with synthetic bio and make the worlds first terminator..."
"Do you think we could build our own mine turtle??"
"Hey...whats going on"
"you are no longer a person! Only a number!"
And those are only the things that first come to mind

[MikLast]

at the kickoff, with the new robot animations, the first thing everyone hears:
"that robot looks sexy."
"mmm, youre right!"

[alephzer0]

I have a couple.
First, at a competition last year, a safety advisor said:
"don't touch the robot while it's powerized."
ever since then we have been making fun of that.

Also:
One of the pit admin people in a 2013 competition said a team needed a c-R-I-O (she spelled it out) and ever since then we have made fun of that as well. (soon we will be using the r-o-b-o-R-I-O!)

If you ask where anything is this one girl will say,
"I ate it...I was really hungery!"

[Woody910]

Our team has previously used a department system, with "Game Mech" being the department designing and building all the pieces used to play the game. As such, this department was put under a lot of work. It became a thing that whenever something came up, the first response was "Game Mech will do it." Even since we have moved on to a different organizational system, we still hear "Game Mech will do it." Every now and then.
