"Quotes" that were said during build season

[bandducky511]

During build season:
"Wait, are you duct taping PVC onto 80/20?!"

"Does PVC rust?"

[NorviewsVeteran]

This is in the pits.

Corey-"Richard, go ask for 20 inches of chain at pit admin"
*I go up to the table wearing this hat*
Me- "Hi, 1793 nee-"
Pit Admin Lady- "OOhhh those ears are so cute!"
Me- "yeah, can I ask for the part now?"

At the midwest regional we were being pinned by 1675 and the MC said "Team 1625 is being pinned in the corner but they dont seem to care" and on the screen our drivers are just kinda standing there not trying to get out.

[While walking through DC in the snow]
<student looks up>: Agh! It got in my eye!
Student (who always wears prescription safety glasses): That's why you should wear safety glasses.

[Once more walking through DC]
Student <steps onto grass instead of sidewalk>: Ah! I'm walking on not-ground!

[Fixing a kitbot after utterly destroying it during driving practice]
Mentor: You guys are still working on that after… what? Two hours?
Student: No. You missed it. We destroyed Blinky. (A kitbot)

[At the end-of-meeting meeting]
Mentor: Wait, didn't you guys have all of the kitbots fixed?
Student: Yeah, that was before you all broke them again.

[While discussing what we need to do]
Head mentor <wiggling the PVC pipes on the trailer>: Round table. Anything you want to say?
Student: Would you all please stop grabbing the trailers by the pipes? They break.
Head mentor: Like this? <begins shaking trailer vigorously while smirking. Pipe breaks off> Oops.

"RUN TREVOR RUUNNNN!"

I said this while Coaching in Finals Match 3 to our teams driver. It was the last 4 seconds in the match and 330 was coming straight for us with balls. Thankfully he reversed in time, none of them scored, resulting in our first regional win!

Friday night scouting review
"Don't pick (Team #) their human player gets pushed around way to easily"

Right before the 3rd match of the finals in GTR they start playing the Beach Boys "Be True to Your School"
Mentor - "This is hardly the time or the place for such a song. You think they could come up with something a little more epic!"

[JHay]

"And you think that I can cut those measurements?" -- Brett Kolk (although it probably isn't exactly what he said )

"What's FIRST?" -- Halfway into build season, Tyler Siersma (of course he didn't join until a couple weeks in )

"I'm on a boat!" -- Jack Brock

Wayne: Who cut this board?!?
All: Brett...

Me: Where's Lucas?
Brett, "Tapeworm", Hailey: Right beside you...
Me: Oh my god! Lucas is a ninja!

Judge: What made you think of the design you have today?
Lucas: ... (he is the quiet one)
Judge: Don't you know?
All: Sorry, Lucas is the quiet one...Talk to us.
(sorry Lucas )

"We have limited-edition, black and white buttons today! Only for a limited time!" -- Jack Brock

Ethan: Finally, I made the mascot...
[Puts on costume]
Me: What is that? A sun and a circle with our name on it?

Well, that's all I can think of right now...some or maybe most of these happened at competitions or during build season. If I remember more (or find more at state) I will list them as another reply .

[XD_bring_it]

Sam: So whenever a scout asks us whats special about our robot, everybody immediately says "bumpers."

(The president decided that the cloth would be black with white flowers and have our team number painted in gold)

[Kibaspirit]

"How long?"
"Deilio"
"The Enforcer"

[newyorkjr]

Mentor gave a new twist to a very old saying:
"Quality, not suck!"

"This is OUR competitive advantage."

"Dance party mode!"

"[insert name here] broke the robot!"

[delsaner]

Mentor: "Do you realize that wins and losses mean NOTHING this year? I just found out that we have seeding point changes that disregard win-loss count!"

Student: "This is lunacy! Oh wait, that was last year."

[RookieWookiez]

Something me and one of my teammates yelled out at the beginning of most of our matches in Elimination.

Me: "Let's do this!"
Both: "Leeeeeeeeeerrrrrooooyyyyyyyyy Jjjjjjjeeennnnnkkkkiiiinnnssss!!!"

[chris 545]

"our job is to program the controls to be idiot proof"

[huberje]

"This is Lunacy!"

I don't remember when this was said, but it was early in the season and it may have been a reaction to the change in the seeding system.

[0zymandias]

"Accidental engineering" popped up a few times.
Also, from a conversation about some random dangerous thing which I do not recall
Team member: "Ooh, can I do that too"
Alumn/Mentor: "No, it's stupid and dangerous"
Team Member: "Then why can you?"
Alumn/Mentor: "Because I'm a mentor!"
