Some favourites from my team:

“Just because our tracking doesn’t work doesn’t mean we have to tell them that”

“So much for coding it on the way to the competition, I coded it AT the competition”

Me: says 10 digits of pi
Programmer: okay that may be enough to land a rocket on the moon but it’s not enough to move the robot a foot over

“This battery tastes low”

Robot starts drifting in donuts
Programmer: The code added a very minor, negligible amount of drift I’d say, it won’t be noticeable in tournament settings

“Anything not explicitly illegal is legal”

“I’m going to go put a pencil in the flywheel”

“It should work, I think” is essentially our team motto at this point

And then there are these gems:

“It’s janky but it works”
“This is the worst idea ever, I love it”
“I hate it when you have good ideas”
And finally “oh yeah the auton works” (it did not work)
