After alliance selections at Aus regional

*Gets handed replacement robot and time-out slips*

"Great! Now who was meant to bring the photocopier?"

[LFPneumatic]

- Its gonna go "foomp foomp foomp" (said by a student explaining how the scaling arm would move around a lot)

- The wheels on the robot go "crash crash crash" (said in response to repeated destruction of the pneumatic wheels)

Person 1: It doesn't fit.
Person 2: Can you be more specific?
Person 1: The shaft doesn't fit in the hole.

During a recent offseason...

Backstory: Due to a shortage of teams, the #1 alliance needed to randomly draw one eliminated semifinalist so they could play the finals 3v3. So, they sent out one representative to do the random draw, and who was blindfolded prior to drawing a boulder from the box of boulders with team numbers.

MC: *holding up five fingers* How many fingers am I holding up?
Rep: Umm... Five?
Head Ref: *turns towards scoring table* All right, who supplied the blindfold?

First off, I want to congratulate the OP of this thread, Jherbie53. On February 23, 2016, this thread turned 10 years old! Now for a quote...

Student 1(to Student 2): "Do you know how to eject a flash drive?"
Student 2: "Yes..."
Student 1: "Eject the flash drive!"
Mentor: "Enject or inject the flash drive?"
Student 1: "Do NOT inject the flash drive!"

Yelled by our scouting mentor while we were assembling the tower and time he needed a screw (now that I'm thinking about it, the question of why was the scouting mentor working on the tower comes to mind)
"Screw me!"

This was said by one of the builders on our team while cleaning up the 3-axis mill.

I saw him attempting to clean up the mill with an air nozzle, trying to blow away the oil residue.

"Why don't you use a brush," I ask.

Reply: "Who needs finesse when you have air pressure?!"

To this day, this remains a valid meme on team 1710.

Here's some good ones from 5556
We broke a bottom rail clean off and reattached it and it works horribly.
"It's good enough for government work"
"Yes, but it didn't cost enough for government work"

"Don't blow metal into the robo-rio we can't pay for a new one"

While testing the robot our first driver said
"If the robot loses control and won't stop block it with your leg, the robot matters more than a leg, it can heal"

At one point one of our members said he was gonna kill me so since I am a problem solver I said "If you kill me I recommend you get a knife and go for the back of the neck so it's cleaner"

Some guy used the drill bit box as a hammer so we joked and said "Let's just use the robo rio as a hammer, it'll work"

I talked to my brother privately and said "I will build a great great robot and make FIRST great again!!!!"

I'll post more later on.

Mentor: So to do this we might have to use a blow torch

Entire team: BLOW TORCH!?!

(We basically have a team full of pyros, it was a good thing we never had to use the blow torch)
