Re: This year's "game" is a job, not a game

The event that precipitated this thread was an encounter with one of my fellow engineers at my day job in the radio astronomy factory where I work.

He was holding a calibration hot-load slider mechanism in his hands, and I mentioned that we build stuff exactly like that for our robots, Bimba cylinders and all. He asked me what this year's game was, and I tried to describe the tote stacking stuff. He said, "Jenga?" I said, "No, more like working in a warehouse."

But you know, Jenga would be a really fun game to play with robots!
