my team is keeping a bowl full of sticky notes with memorable quotes for throughout the season lol. My favorite so far is “Go put Jesus back behind the fridge.” An honorable mention: while boyfriend by Justin Beiber is playing “Why are we listening to whale sounds?”

During a recent design review:
Teammate 1: What are the chassis dimensions again?
Teammate 2: 27" by 28".
Teammate 1: Which dimension is the longer one?
Me (mouth well in the lead of brain): The 28" one.

“Hey where’s the HTML cord?”
– 5518 Vice Lead (while searching for an HDMI cord)
“How did you get the spxs happy?” (Asking how we got them to work)
– 5518 Programming Team“We plugged them in.”
– 5518 Team Lead(Programming spent the day before trying to get them to work)
“If you hit his knees then your stick is going to break! You should use a metal one instead”
– Unidentified Mentor (while talking with a student going after the Vice Lead with a wooden stick)–Note: This quote isn’t exact (I can’t exactly remember it) but its close enough.
Will update as I come across more.

Me: “Wow! Who brought strawberry jelly?”
Teammate: “You mean the grease for the gearbox?”
Ever since then I heard everyone call it strawberry jelly…
Me: looks at code “Why is this the outcome of this function divided by 1?”
Programmer who just pulled an all-nighter for that code: “I don’t remember, I just know we spent 15 minutes discussing it with the software team and we unanimously agreed it had to be there”
(it didn’t btw)
Mechanical after breaking something: “Well… That’s bubbled up!”
(we had a problem with people swearing a lot so we prohibited all swears and told them to find a replacement word if they had to)
Student: “Do you think I can climb up the back of these stands to get a GoPro for a timelapse of the pit?”
Me: “I don’t think that’s too safe…”
Student: “What do you mean? I got my safety glasses on!”

“You need to let me take the lead on this for once. You keep shutting me down every thing I try to do!”
“That’s because all you want to do is look at frc memes”
“Fair point”
Persons A, B, and C are designing things
A - The perfect distance would be ~12"
few minutes later
A - It’s actually 8.03.
B - Yes. 8.03.
A - Whoops I mean 8.04.
B - You’re right, that’s the number
A - No wait it is 8.03.
B - Exactly, that’s what I meant.
A - technically it’s 8.03973
C - that is significantly not 12
