"Hey what should we use for the [CRITICAL ROBOT COMPONENT]?"

team 1757 has this box full of random screws and bolts (the "tetanus box"), and i realized during the prototype phase that we didn't have a similar box for nuts, and that we were actually running low on those. when someone asked today what else we should put on the shopping list, i said:

"we should probably get our hands on a bunch of random nuts, too."

that's only funny because i had no idea :ahh: it was funny when i said it.
