"Quotes" that were said during build season

[Mr V]

Here is our annual blog post of quotes from the Ultimate Ascent build season. http://tahomarobotics.org/2013/02/20...final-chapter/

[Zerony31]

-one of the programmers while holding a hammer right next to a broken computer- "TIME TO VOID THE WARRANTY"

-one of the programmers (Sam) trying to fix something-
Me: "Saaaaaam the Builder, CAN WE FIX IT"
Sam: "Shut up, everyone abandoned me."
Me: "Saaaaam the Builder, YES WE CAN"

-One of the builders watching videos of other teams' robots-
Builder: "Look at them, they have underglow! Why did we waste time making a working shooter and lifter when we could have UNDERGLOW."

[Crawler]

"Im giving you 5 grand! Practice some 'grateful professionalism'!"
Followed by everyone trying to correct me -_-

[Zuelu562]

"We should put depleted uranium on the BOM and see if the inspector catches it"

"The robot is 3 pounds overweight" - Engineer. "Guess I've got some code to delete..." - Programmer. Oldie but goodie.

"THE CLAWWWWWWWW" *Grappling hook instantly brought back memories of Toy Story, now we have the aliens from the claw game all over our workshop -_-*

[S.P.A.M.er]

My rookie and I are like sisters, so when somebody messes with her she says this in reference to me.
"Don't make me sick my lesbian on you!"
Or
"Don't make me call my lesbian over here"

[BigmouthCreator]

Jokingly written while editing our scouting sheet:

Is the robot offensive, defensive, or defective?

[Dukenator76]

If the Robot is to heavy take some 0 and 1's out.

We also had a Freshman that calling everyone a Phys-co hose beast.

[Anteprefix]

Mentor: You guys programmed a really good autonomous, 1671 even commented about it on Chief Delphi, on the CVR thread.
J: Is it really that good? It's just a bunch of while loops!
A: Accept your praise!

[wasayanwer97]

Student: "When in doubt, dead blow."

Student: "We haven't caused any trouble!"
Mentor: "I quote 'WE NEED TO GET ALL OF THE METAL SHAVINGS OUT OF THE ELECTRONICS BOARD BEFORE THE ELECTRICAL TEAM COMES BACK!!!!!'"
Student: *Silence*

Freshman: "Why is Wasay so emotionless and scary?"
Mechanical Lead: "Because his parents were killed by a clown, and then he became Batman."
Me, having just heard: "Then I realized I didn't have Morgan Freeman to build me cool stuff, so I joined a FIRST team."

Student: 'I figured out the game after the water challenge, the AIR challenge! This is how it's going to be introduced: "Air challenge is played on a 27 by 54 foot ETERNAL ABYSS"'

My personal favorite-
New member: "Ummm.. I cut this piece too short... We don't happen to have like a channel stretcher, do we?"

[ablatner]

Mr. Shannon, Mr. Shannon! The wheels are round!

"I think the best strategy this year would be to paint somebody silver, put a safety light on his head, and hope he doesn't have to play defense."

"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to put the duck away, as it is very detrimental to our work ethic."

"Is it necessary to continually blast 'Sexy And I Know It' on repeat throughout every meeting?"

"Gentlemen, I am very proud to say that, for the first time in Team 540 history, our robot is not obese. This means we will not have to cheese the electrical board."

[gixxy]

"There are NO Saw Blades on the robot!" (Said at competition to inspector. Everything we bought was put on the BOM by accident, not just things on the robot, including our new saw blades...)

"That's MY Squid Hat!"

"Why won't the Pi work?" (we used a Raspberry Pi on the Robot)
"Because you haven't threatened to eat it yet!"

"Sort of like a dementor princess?" (looong story)

"So my threaded code is working fine. Its just a bit too stringy"

"Can't we just extract the caffeine from the soda?"

"Well we released the magic smoke on that sensor..."

"How does it shoot so accurately?"
"Sugar rush from that Pi its eating!"

"Hmmm Fried Jaguar, crispy just how I like it."

"Laying out this control board is a game of 4-Dimensional Tetris!" (We had to add a vertical board to fit everything, then where things mounted kept changing over time, so the board size/shape had to keep changing.)

"Well I think it was shorting out. It was so hot, I wanted to make a smore over the wire!"

"Hmm, I love the smell of Flux in the Afternoon"

A "Hey pass me the flux."
B "why?"
A "So I can coat this Capacitor"
C "Ok Doc Brown"

"Joe and I are in Sonic Screwdrivers Autonomous!"

"After Build Season I will teach you all the programmers to Hack, for now lets just get this robot auto-aiming!"

[ImanolD]

"Look at me! I'm Iron Man"

Not during build season, but...we have a short girl in our team named Kristen, and we use her height as a standard measurement for length. At kickoff, when we were measuring the pyramid, I told her to go inside of it to get the measurements. Out of curiosity, I asked for her to stand next to the levels of the pyramid, and the top of her head barely touched the 2nd level! Because of that, whenever somebody asked for the measurement of the 2nd level, we told them "It's exactly 1 Kristen!" Of course, we got weird looks...
We continue to keep on using the Kristen measurement:
"How tall do you think that is?" "I would say about 2 and a half Kristens"

"So... what does publicity actually do?". "Put glitters on stuff and beg for a pink robot"
