“There’s a guy under there!!!”
Yesterday we decided it would be a good idea to have a meeting. Most of the people that said they would be there were watching the Super Bowl.
Me: “We are all nerds. We shouldn’t care about sports.”
“I swear on my life I said pants!”
Must I explain why Mama is called Mama? :rolleyes:
Lead Mentor: See the problem is that if we are underweight this year, they will expect us to be underweight every year.
Me: I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
mike: yeah we’re using a baby cim as the tachometer.
T: What? That’s like hunting for a squirrel with a bazooka!
M: I figured out what Car Nack’s next prediction is going to be!
R: What?
M: Team 148 will anodize their robot black!
R: GAME BREAKER!
Zendergo2: “Hey, Do you think we could get #YOFOSWAG trending?”
Me: “JWallace what are you doing?!”
JWallace: “Wringing my sponge out”
Me: “On the floor!!?”
Zendergo2: “But it will get humid back here!”
Random: “What happens if we have a fire drill?”
Random2: What if there’s a fire drill and a lockdown at the same time?"
J: “With a tornado!!”
Me: “Will there be raptors as well?”
Was that the cRIO?!
Retired GM Mentor 1: “Well you gotta keep it from jiggling around”
Retired GM Mentor 2 (nicknamed Grumpy): “KEEP IT FROM JIGGLING AROUND?! IT’S NOT A BRASSIERE!”
(metalshop brooms are stored on pegs high up a wall)
Short member of the team: I want to sweep to help clean up, but I can’t reach the brooms.

“Um… why are you make that in the shape of the tri-force? The triforce has no structural integrity.”
one member was making a piece of our robot on inventor in the shape of the triforce
“um what are making? Why did you put zodiac signs on that tab”
“because it is part of a fandom I’m in”
I was making sprites for our DS scouting system
M: I milled it to exactly 4 inches. You can hit me if it’s off.
(A measures it with calipers, and proceeds to hit M)
M: Ow! (rubs shoulder) What was that for???
A: You’re 7 thousandths of an inch off!
M: (snatches the piece) Fine. I’m gonna go rubber-wheel it for 7 seconds.
(as we are about to assemble our chassis)
Lead mentor: Are you kidding me???
M, A, and I: What’s wrong??
Lead mentor: This is the wrong piece! We made the wrong piece!!!
A: Uh, isn’t that the piece you’re looking for? (points to the chassis piece right next to where the one the lead mentor picked up was)
Lead mentor: Shut up! Can’t you hear I’m blind?
“Don’t worry, we can fix it in programming”
“We will be done by week five and will have a week of practice!”
Me running around the build room looking for my wire strippers:
“I NEED A STRIPPER!”
