During the fall, I asked our drivers to if they would ike to come to Lockheed Martin because we were going to be showing off the robot at an event called "Women in Engineering day".

A few weeks later at an off season competition, one of the drivers (a 17 yr old boy)came up to me and said "When was the day you wanted me to be a woman?"

This would be the same driver who responded during a session on basic physics to the question, how much does a gallon of milk weigh with "$3.49"

Our team motto is "No loose screws...we're all nuts!" Well, one of our coaches gathered the team around to practice the cheer (One student would say "No Loose Screws!" while the rest of the team would respond, "We're All Nuts!") and the coach says, "Okay, let's try it. No loose nuts, we're all screwed!" And of course, everyone burst out laughing and we haven't let him forget about that mistake.

"No wonder it wasn't moving. The PWMs weren't plugged in."

(and yes, it was the programmer's fault)
