So I got in a friendly argument in my team’s robotics server, and I realized how nice it would be to have some Vex comebacks- but I couldn’t think of much. I figured I’d hop over here and ask you for your best robotics-themed comebacks, so don’t be afraid to drop some in the comments!
Your argument is worse than cantilever drive wheels with no bearings
Your argument is weaker than an aluminum bar
Stuff a flex wheel in it! And don’t make me shoot a rubber band at you… proceeds to shoot teammate anyway
You are more useless then a plastic shaft collar
Ftfy…if you’ve been around long enough to remember these!
I’m an alumni so I’m not a part of this organization anymore but a funny incident happened between our sister teams a few weeks ago that has been the talk of the club ever since. Our C team (3-3-0) and K team (4-2-0) were arguing about who was ultimately better during the Duel in Dublin tournament and it went a little something like this:
Captain of 5327C: “You guys got lucky.”
Driver for 5327K: “Ohh. ‘Lucky’. ‘Lucky’. You lost! Who lost?! YOU LOST!”
This isn’t a word come back so to speak but an action comeback that is as good.
So last year was my first year of robotics and the high schoolers were making fun of the middle school push bots at our second cometeition so we went trough the match and we were able to choose an alliance for the elimination rounds at a high school event, so we decided to pull an uno reverse card and we chose the team that was making and if they decided they would be out so they gave us the ablsutle harshest death stare at us I have ever seen and unwillingly said yes. They did nothing in the match and when we were going home one of them in their car just started at me and said something I didn’t hear. Its still a running joke with my former team members and I. To be honest that team deserved it hard.
That’s just too much.
I know, counter point, they were pretty mean. Anyways it wouldn’t mater anyway because it was a high school match, I just wanted to get them mad a bit.
“You’re built like a broken standoff.”
Your so dumb you thought fly wheels were for helicopters
you could always say “a Cortex has more brain power than you”
side note
why does everyone hate the bearing rivets? we used them a lot last year to reduce weight and we had no problems with them

we used them a lot last year to reduce weight and we had no problems with them
Yeah, they weren’t that bad, we didn’t have anything go wrong because of them
Your words are as reliable as our auton
Your argument is weak, and your flywheel/catapult/turret is too!
bro looks like a plastic axle after being used for a drivetrain
Your argument is as weak as your featured topic.
I would say that you seem like the type of person to finish your robot and then realize you forgot bearing flats, but that seems generous.
You’re so stupid you napped on a pillow block then complained about loosing your bearings due to a lack of sleep.
