“That was easy”
“Oh yeah”
“You’d be lucky to fit a double jointed toddler in there”
This was a reference to the size of our robot this year relative to those of the past two years.
Student 1: “YOCO! or actually probably more like it: YOFO!”
Student 2: “I thought it was yolo…”
Student 1: “You only climb once… But then I thought better of it and thought that ‘you only fall once’ would be a better representation…”
“Guyss!!! Where’s the sharpie???”
A: “7/16!!!”
B: “Nut driver or wrench or rat…”
A: “7/16!!!”
“That’s a feature.”
Student: What were you guys DOING?!
Other student:…Building a robot, what else would we do during build season?
“I quit programming! I didnt even want to be a programmer, Im joining the build team!” -Our teams lead programmer of four years
As we finished our shooter, we realized that the shaft on the wheel had to be broached.
“Now that’s a fine kettle of fish!”
“What If…” ( follow up with some crazy idea that totally changes the entire design of the robot )
“Ta-Dah”
“How hard could it be, everyone’s doing it”
-“How’s your shooter going?”
-“Great. You?”
I’m a programmer…search bars don’t exsist in real life! 
Turn up the music and start cutting parts 
Build student comes over to programming station and rests hand on the laptop while software is compiling
Programmers: “No! Don’t do that! It makes the programming gods angry!”
(programming group re-imaging laptops)
Me: Hey guys!
J: DON"T PRESS “A”!!!
Me: Why?
J: They’re re-imaging. If you press “A”, it will abort!
Other J: We already lost one laptop!
(when putting the chains on the drive train and having trouble)
“It’s like a fly on fly sticky paper.”
(than trying to get the chain off again to move it)
“Its like trying to catch a fly with non fly sticky paper”
“Generally if you see a fat guy falling, you shouldn’t dive to get under him.”
My team has a habit of singing “Put that thing back where it came from (or so help me)” whenever we find something out of place.
(Male student and female student are arguing)
Me: Ladies, ladies…you’re both pretty. Now stop arguing.
Me: (while using an Exacto knife) AUGH!
Female Student: OHMYGOD! Did you cut yourself?
Me: No, this box fell on me.
(It occurs to me now that “AUGH!” was probably not an appropriate response)
Me: What are you guys doing?
Two male students: Fixing this lamp.
Me: I love lamp.
“CAD, thou art a heartless b***h.”:eek:
Me: “I need the stripper! The proper stripper!”
Melody: “… Sorry, Erika’s not here.”
Melody: “What time is it?”
Me: “Party time.”
Melody: -serious voice- “No it is not.”
Erika: “ADVENTURE TIME!”
Me:
Melody: -_-
While a build team member was bent over a vice filing an edge down…
"Me: Yea, you work that clamp.
Them: :eek: "
While building climbing mechanism in CAD, and getting angry with the machine:
“Me: I swear, I’m going to wipe you and put windows 1.0 on you!
Mentor: Or you could use vista…”
Needless to say, the computer recognized the severity of the threat, and complied immediately.
