"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Shelabot]

Alright guys, this one is from a mentor that works for our sponsor Flexicell. It's half a joke, but still depicting reality with amazing perception.....

"Guys: Measure with a micrometer, mark with a chuck, and cut with an axe!"

[FRC4ME]

Just got another one from our head mentor:

Student: "Is this the final design for the new shooter?"
Mentor: "It's not a shooter; it a 'pffft'er."

[Oblarg]

"Real men don't need master links, they connect chain with pliers and vice-grips."

"Wait, wait, wait. We're 4.5 pounds UNDERWEIGHT?"
"Hey, did you remember to take off the antigravity device before weighing the robot?"

(Sign in our pit) "Danger: 5,000,000,000,000 pV at high impedance!"

"could me the mayor, could be the principal, it could be the guy from McDonald's with the little hat, you just never know..."

[Oblarg]

"MDF sucks. You can't screw into its side or it splits."
"Drill pilot holes, then."
"It splits when you drill pilot holes."
"Then drill pilot holes for the pilot holes?"
"MDF sucks."

Caius: What do you mean Dean's done talking!? Did I pee forever!?

Said after Dean introduced someone. We thought it was a speech from him and we were amazed that it was so short. No, it was a long introduction...

Me: "Josh! Let me see your wallet!"
*Josh flips my safety glasses down from my head and his down too*
Me: "Ok, now we're both protected. Let me in your pants!"


Our head coach had his 3-year-old-son with him on Saturday because his wife was having a baby shower for their daughter-on-the-way and so we had shifts watching him...
Anelia: "We found out how to keep a 3-year-old entertained!"
Hook (the coach): "How?"
Anelia: "Give him a water bottle to throw at an idiot"
Me: "Im gonna do that with my kids!"
Hook: "You gonna marry an idiot?"
Me: "Nope, Candy is gonna be my babysitter!"

On my high school team, our safety captain during my senior year, just as we were about to leave a regional:

"Okay, now before we leave, be sure to go to the bathroom - everyone at least try."

Me: Why is the battery labeled "battery"?
Student 1: I don't know, get back to work
*10 seconds later*
Me: and why is the duct tape holding it to the testing board labeled "duct tape"?

I labeled the label "label" then.

We were discussing possible robot names on our team forums...

Mr. Pockets: "Edward, for when the bot starts sparking up on the field"

[Phoenix Spud]

While having a conversation about the Wizard of Oz and how it is NOT about Australia...

Me: I saw this great signature on CD, it said "if Dorthy were to find a place today where people had no brains, heart, or courage she wouldn't be in Oz, she would be in Congress."
Mentor: ...and surrounded!

This one came up at dinner on a friday at the LA Regional

I was eating a slice of chocolate cake. When I asked a question about Varun hes from India.

ME: Hey guys whats the difference between Varun and my cheesecake?

Everybody: I don't know?

Me: what do you think Varun?

Varun: Hmm, One's delicious, and one's a cheesecake?
