What we don't see here is the line of Team Hammond students, immediately left of the picture, who are waiting to ask Bill if their idea could be on the 2005 BEAST.

student: "we should score tetras very high"
Bill: "mmm. You are wise, young neophyte. Your idea is accepted."

But, then again, this could be Bill's way of catching some shut-eye during build season.

That's interesting... our brainstorming process involves lots of mispelled words

We can't spell Lose (loose as spelt when brainstorming) but yet we can spell thwartable... I think maybe I'll try that and see what happens :D

Team Hammond students? What about the line of other team's mentors who have made the pilgrimage to ask Bill what the secret of winning the game is?

Gary Dillard: "we should score tetras very high"
Bill: "mmm. You are a moron, young neophyte. Watch my simple arm made from $10 worth of PVC outperform your finely machined mechanism with aircraft quality bearings yet again."
