Our animation team was talking about hair…(odd enough)
Student 1: Wait you can get your head as bald as the mentors?
Student 2: Yeah, you go the hair place they shave it with out a gaurd and tehn you go home and shave it with the razor you shave your face with.
Student 1: Wait you can get the same reflectivity too?
Student 2: Oh you mean shine
Student 1: Yes, reflectivity must be set to 1.0 and glossiness must be set at 1.0 also
while trying to test our robot chassis, we encountered several programming, wiring, and wireless errors, resulting in our originally only being able to run one jaguar
“Well… Hooray for one-wheel drive!”
“What are you using duct tape for?”
“To hold the zip ties in place”
While making hot chocolate…
“Here pour some milk in it!”
she pours the milk… just before he goes to drink it she decides to check the expiration date
“WAIT! don’t drink that! the milk is bad!”

“sorry I tried to poision you!” :yikes:
“What you tried to poision him!??!” person who walks in a minute later:ahh:

I walked into the room where my friends were drawing in inventor. As I walk in I shout “Run, Immigration!” My friends freaked out, one ducked under a table the other two ran off in different directions.

Student 1: “I think it just wanted to see "(person in back room, also same person who was almost “poisioned” by the other expired milk)
Student 2: " Are you having an affair with the milk?”:ahh:

I need to stop writing down quotes…no, maybe not…maybe I should just keep quoting Mark to annoy him xD (KIDS: Mentors should not be annoyed unless it is for a very very very very very very VERY good reason, few of which exist.)
“Robotics is not just a club, robotics is a lifestyle. Robotics means giving up everything else you want to do in your life and committing every single second awake to it. It means eating, sleeping, and dreaming about robots.”
My favorite thing so far this season is we have a table that one of the teachers at our school doesn’t like us putting things on. He decided to write a sign saying “DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON THIS TABLE”. It’s in a convenient spot next to our hand mill/lathe. I now have four pictures of just random things on the table people put there just instinctively and he just put the sign up last week. I’m looking forward to showing him all the pictures at the end of the season
