"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Jherbie53]

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.

"I just have to tune the PID loop!"

"It's still downloading!"

[Rick TYler]

"Don't worry about the code -- I know I've fixed it this time for sure!"

"PID is easy. I wrote it last night."

"We're too close for missiles, switching to Poof balls!"

"Just one more day on the driving code, then I'll switch to autonomous."

"Hey...uh guys? Where's our bot?"

lol my friend Maggie said that when she came into our meeting late from drama practice on ship date...she had completley forgotten what day it was and we just had to go along with it so we were like..."What do you mean where's our bot?! I though you were here when the shipping guys came to get it!"

She's so gullible...gotta love her! lol

Me: Woahhh Carl waht are you doing don't pull on that
Carl (mentor): I know what im doing. Id rather it break here then Annapolis
Me: How bout we just don't break it at all, theres a thought for ya..


Needless to say he wasn't too happy with that remark

Guns have motors?-Me

"We will worry about that later"

"umm... oops"

[kirish]

From the head of our mechanical team to some programmers concerned about sensing the turret's position with a shaft encoder:

"You worry about the programming and I'll give you the shaft."

Luckily they didn't take it the wrong way...

[Nita]

"I guarantee it!"
Everytime this certain someone on the team says this, the guarantee is broken. We even named this type of guarantee after the person's name.

"Oh xxxx, which one goes to which motor...oh xxxx"-Jason, electrical

"Why ohh why did we let Jake ride the robot? He looks like a freaking frog"-Tipton

"Nick's mom"-Jake (and most of the team)

Me holding up a lighter to a spray bottle of cooling fluid "Hey Keats, you think this flammable?". Kyle after a few seconds of thinking "It's 90% water you tard!"

Kyle commenting on me filing an inside of a bearing block "Try to keep the circleness of it"

Kyle: "Stop, you're changing the embience"

A mentor "Who started putting tools back into their right spots? Now i can't find anything!"

[tyron256]

"That would be about a quarter pound off"
"we took off an eighth of a pound!"
"we took off another eighth of a pound!"
OR
"Swiss cheese the robot!"

Hosh, you forgot the coveted, "Let's Ship It!".

I believe Troy was the first one to start saying it around the 3rd build week. We got the drivetrain running just in time for Mr. Yasick to see it before he left for surgery, and all Troy could do was say "Ship it", lol.

After that, everytime we got a major component done on the robot, there was that quote. I think everybody on the team used it.

It was a good day when I no-longer had to hear the phrase "Ship It" on monday night, when we finally shiped the robot,

That started last year i think Mr. Q. Anyhoo, another one is when ever someone said this or that needed to be done. A student named Steve would always volunteer Stuart by saying, "Stuart will do it". The last week was filled with him saying that, ALOT.

We have a Carl too, he always goes "You haven't done it right until you have taken it apart and put it back together 3 times..."

Also, someone else said today "The 'shooter' isn't going to do anything if y'all hide from it"
