Here’s what I want to know, did anyone’s regional not start changing “water game”? I can’t imagine so but also this is frc so you never know
Non-FRC kids will never know of the time where a stadium of high-schoolers chanted "water game" (an FRC in-joke), however the organizers misheard it and were really confused why everyone was chanting "watergate".

Overheard at a robotics build session part eight:
“Power sources include: drill, team captain, and occasionally motor.”
“So called free thinkers when YMCA comes on at an FRC competition.”
“Where’s the chemicals drawer? I’m thirsty.”
“What bolt are you, take this online quiz to find out!”
“That’s why you wear safety glasses, cause Puss in Boots could go flying through the air and hit you in the face.”
“You’re not special, a trained centipede could do that.”
“Me when I extend twelve feet beyond frame perimeter.”
“Then he got out the guillitine, and… and… he cut the bolts head off… and… and I’m next…”
“Everything is a nail if you throw it at relativistic speeds.”
“It is slightly bent, but beyond that, I’m stupid.”
“The real hammers were the ones we made along the way.”
“Do you think Campbell’s uses standard physics units?”
“It’s as secure as my parents marriage.”
“Aaah, tHe lAtHe is sO tErRiFyiNg! You know the number of things that have gone wrong on this? Two. The problem: oh no it fell there. On the table. Three inches away.”
“Blue loctite tastes better!!!”
(Additional quote insanity)

Overheard at a robotics build session part seven:
“Calipers are worth dying for.”
“If you were to take the parts out and lay them on the floor and run over them with a cat on a roomba you’d have higher entropy.”
“Vape? No. Wires.”
“It’s the gradle demon. I sacrificed a chicken to it, but it didn’t work. Maybe I need a goat.”
“Thermochem is awful and have you heard of all the cool and sexy ways to destroy and kill.”
“Guys, guys, it’s my turn on the not-a-circle-anymore!!”
“Each syllable is a sigfig.”
“Excuse me, can I get customer service in here, how slutty are your screwdrivers???”
“Do not drive the particle accelerator while on acid, rule one.”
“Don’t eat the screws, it’s not healthy!!”
“I had a brain, once.”
“I didn’t.”
“The average gay in this room is five.”
“Pretty much any surface in the shop, you can point at it and i can tell you what it tastes like.”
“Did you just pretend to shoot me with a drill???”
“It’s a circle don’t use it!!!”

okay it won’t fit in one post but here’s some of the best:
- the time the programmers tied a rolling stool behind the robot, sat on said stool, and drove the robot down the hall. during school hours. past the principal. and when the principal asked what they were doing they just said testing code and he shrugged and walked away.
- when the buisness team was attempting to film the chairmans/impact thingy video the programmers and electrical people turned off all the lights, but the robot in the middle of a table, and gathered around it with pretty much every computer on the team (so like three per person) and then fake typed for like an hour in the background of the video
- i walked in one day to a bunch of people chanting around a stool hung from the ceiling with a package of ramen noodles on it, i later learned it was the Shrine to the Almighty Ramen Noodles and the captain said they should put it up at competition (the coach said no)
- we worked in a team members garage several nights til like 3am, one night the programmers took a selfie of them in sleeping bags in the garage and sent it to our discord and another night was spent singing “goose. geese goose. everybody gotta get a goose.” to the tune of footloose
- one team member collected used zip ties and at the baskin robbins after competition just dumped all the ones he had in his pocket on the table. the people working there just looked at us like we were fucking insane. which. true
- so many squeaky rubber ducks
- LINIX also penguins
- at competition, one of my team members went up to put admin to request a blowtorch (mostly to make a point), and i (the then-safety captain) only found out through the announcements and was quite annoyed when they ACTUALLY GOT A BLOWTORCH despite it being against multiple building rules
- they made blue box mac and cheese in the kettle we use for heating water for ramen. it was nasty.
- refer to any one of my quotes list posts for additional chaos
Ayo if you’re on a first robotics team reblog with the goofy stuff your team gets up to
On my team we’ve got:
- Cheddar, the long plushie cat who comes to every competition with us and is basically our mascot at this point
- that time we flung people down the halls of the school on those little wheely squares for half an hour and nearly hit two mentors
- assigned numbers for anyone named Ethan because we had six of them last year
- the taco water incident
- my long furby occasionally crashing robotics nights
- so many frogs oh lord
- the cardboard cutout of the lead teacher that we hail as god (the teacher acts like he hates the thing but leaves it in the manufacturing shop year round and dresses it up for Christmas. He will not let us put it in the team picture though)

“I’m going to take a soldering iron and put it up against…… uh…… uh……………. your big intestine!!!”
“God stole both of our boyfriends, you and I could get together. Do you graciously accept?”
“Capable of fire. Rating: fire. Rated for less power than you’re gonna put through it.”
“What are the rules for acceptable power for your bumpers? Gas power.”
