Student in the robot (to mentor): So you said that the doohickey goes into the whatchamacallit this way?
Other student: Nah, it's the other way around, dude.
Mentor: No, it's the whatchamacallit into the doohickey, and there's only one way to do it right.
Student in the robot: You mean soldering, crimping, bolting, inserting, welding, gluing, or some combination of the above?
Mentor: Students these days... think they know more than their elders...

Mentor thinks: I doubt it, but have fun trying.
