Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
*3 of 4 drive chains fall off* Me: "That's fine."
*Front intake bar falls off* Me: "That's fine." *Climbing string breaks mid-climb* Me: "That's fine." *Motor starts smoking profusely* Isaac (to me): "Let me guess, that's fine?" |

One of my teammates was playing with one of the tiny pistons. It was during our leader meeting so as my mentor was mid-sentence he just glanced over and calmly said "Quit jacking the piston" after a pause and continual "jacking" my mentor said "Were you even listening or did you just sit there and jack the piston?". My teammate replied shyly with "both" to which my mentor rapidly responded with an escalated "QUIT JACKING THE PISTON!!!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
A: "this is robotics--everything is going to go wrong at some point, it's how we deal with it that counts"
me: "so we are going to put a battery where there's not enough room for a battery?" Mentor: "it will work if we use AAs! Mentor: "pray the shui away" (look up feng shui...it's our team's phrase for aesthetic appeal basically) Mentor: "measure twice cut once!" T: "...or you could just eyeball it..." me: why doesn't this center punch punch? mentor: that's the one you took apart and put back together this summer... me: oh E: “how do drive teams enter the field?” S: “six" I: "is it safe to use a drill to liquefy an orange and then drink it? me (as safety lead): "as long as I'm not in the room I don't care" T: it's not magic, its failure smoke me: "I will wrap you up in masking tape and throw you to the wolves" |

Unrelated to build season, but it was said during one of our meetings:

On the bus to our FTC State Championship
One of our seniors was talking to a friend in NY First. He asked to see how the robot traveled. The senior sent this picture with this caption written: "A very high tech bus seat. Shhhhh it's sleeping" ![]() |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
*Me playing with piece that looks like a karambit*
Mentor: "Looks like something that any good prisoner would want to have." *Controls group trying to figure out battery mounting* Mentor: "Just drill and tap the battery" Last edited by RoboMo786 : 27-02-2016 at 00:32. |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
We have a running quote that we say. When someone asks for a tool or part that we know is somewhere in the facility, but not completely sure where, we just say,
"Did you check your pockets?" |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
The following exchange was between a mentor and a student after a student went outside to channel his frustrations.
"Where did Higgins just go?" "He went outside with a hammer and a bearing." "Oh. Poor bearing." Next one is between another student and I after the part I designed came back from the water jet cutter. "It looks like a duck!" "That's upside down. It goes this way." "Nope. We're changing the design. Now it looks like a duck." Finally, this was between the same student and I after the I pulled a completely different part I designed off of the 3d printer. "Crap. I made another duck." "You're right! It looks like another duck!" "Yup. I know." "It's about time you did something right!" |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Holy crap, I'm so happy I made a list now.
Me: "Savage and Dick have no letters in common." President: "Yes they do. S-A-DICK!" Freshman: "Forgetting to eat is bad. but giving us your food is good." Freshman: "You don't want to create a visual quagmire." Head Programmer: "I just sucked in, like, my whole lip." Head Programmer: "So, I feel like robotics is my crack." Head Programmer: "SEE THAT? THAT'S FRIENDLY!" Machining member, with a middle finger in his face: "I can feel the friendship" Head Programmer: "WHAT IS THAT?" Me: "That's rain." Head Programmer: "NO! THAT'S BS!" Head of Manufacturing: "A mill is really just a vertical lathe." Parent: "Your imagination is beyond boba." Coach: "[Head Programmer Name]! You're a boy!" Head Programmer:"What?" Coach: "Oh sorry, I thought we were playing the obvious game." |

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
"Aerial Assist was like World War 1. Defense was too strong. This year, I hope defense will be like World War 2, where it's annoying but doesn't affect the grand scheme of things."
