"Quotes" that were said during build season

[S1LK0124]

I would say the best thing from build season this year was when the team was discussing ideas.
One of the teams programmers confidently got up in front of the whole team to draw up how we were going to make the shooter.
He begins writing down what he's saying above the drawing.
"And then we collect the Bolder..."
This inspired our t-shorts for this year...

[HotCrossPuns]

Student 1: "Does anybody have a pencil I could borrow?"
Student 2 hands pencil to Student 1: "Here you go."
Student 1: "As the Germans say, 'Feeling dank'!"

[Montavo]

Me: "Did you try it in CAD?"

I love Team 751:Barn2Robotics's button!
"I swear it worked in CAD"

It's not a ratchet,
It's a wrench-et!"

[Otaku]

"Don't let the smoke out of the robot, or else the electronics won't work."
"...What smoke?"
"The magical smoke that make electronics work."
"Oh, okay."

(Conversation between me and Ken, a mentor. He was talking about the smoke.)



"Okay, now turn that handle.... uh.... thirty-two times."

(Me talking at somebody who was milling.)



"I hate burs." *Spins a power drill on high speed with a reaming bit in it*

(Me talking to Connor, one of the other Chassis members)


"Farbon Ciber"

When that one dude kept saying "The game" a lot of 675 members kept groaning and making their distress public.


While talking about reservations for the San Jose regional:

"We can't go anywhere else than Motel 8! It's like a tradition for 675! Not to mention, all the hookers downstairs and the wild, fake sex in the bathroom!"

Then another person chimed in, after we were talking about how we all went to denny's:
"Wait, you all went to Denny's? Oh yeah, I remember that. I actually went to sleep, then I woke up and I was like "You went WHERE? WITHOUT ME?""

[Otaku]

Me: "How come the transmission smells funny?" (I said that when assembling the CIM/56mm Transmission, the grease or whatever BaneBots uses smells funny Dx)

---------------

Me: "Okay... so. I'm three thousandths of an inch off. Nobody will know."
*Later, when assembling a part on to the transmission assembly*
Me: "Balls. That hole is three thousandths of an inch off."

---------------

Mentor: "Always leave 1/32nd for human error."

---------------

Me: "Where the hell is Blake?"
Somebody else: "He went to a LAN Party last night. Either he's gaming or sleeping."
Me: "Well then, we make decisions without him."

---------------

Cecily: "I want to burn that hat. Can I burn the hat?"

---------------

Shawnie: "The hat is evil. It gets like a foot away from you and it's all like "Hello, I am a hat."


(All hat references are referencing Team 100's mascot, a giant orange and black hat.)

---------------

Robin: "Cambot, you're a nub. A nubby nubby nub nub nub."

(Robin Davis talking to our Camera Bot)

---------------

Me: "It would be so hilarious if somebody jumped out of the crate yelling "LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROYYYYYYYYYY JEEEEEEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIIIINS!"."
Somebody else: "Shut up, Baker."

---------------

Robin: "Burninated!"

---------------

Me: "Oh woah woah woah, The mill is in eighth inch increments?"
Mentor: "Uh... yeah...What do you think .125 is?"
Me: "I dont's know maths!"

---------------

Somebody else: "Yeah, and they'd pay for transportation to Atlanta, too."
Me: "Heh. We'd probably fly. With snakes."

Phil: "It's very hard to turn it on."

Koza: "She's got the special touch."

One of many, many more

Mentor: "You can't mill with the drilling chuck!"

(It's true, we tried, and ended up making a rifled hole in our aluminium... it looks cool...)

Weaver: "So what, should we put that pizza in the fridge?"
Me: "Nah, just leave it on that table overnight."
Weaver: "Alright."
Me: "Besides, I'll eat that for breakfast tomorrow."

Laura: "Hey, this drill smells... bad"
Me: "Like, ozone?"
Laura (hands over drill): "Here, smell it"
(Smells like ozone)
Me: "Smells like ozone alright. Just like my egg beater"
Laura: "Eggbeaters aren't supposed to smell like that."

(Laura was under a ladder)
Me: "Turn around. No bad luck for you"
(Laura backs up and hits her head on a spider arm)

Not quite a quote, but somebody on my electronics team was crimping a terminal onto the battery-gauge wire, and he held it vertically to crimp, by the crimping tool. He had already crimped it down before he realized that the wire had fallen out first.
