After some two long days of working, we were hacksawing some really thin lexan, IIRC. Our freshman said, "I am stopping of the desk from moving." Won't ever forget that one.

Also, he called the soddering iron a 'cauterizing iron' on accident, and that's become the new name for it, since I burned Paul, and another team member burned me. Thus, "hand me the cauterizing iron."

"Why are there little bits of metal welded to this screw?" After the frosh and I headed over to Ga Tech one day instead of going to class for a build day. Paul walked in to find pieces of wire welded to the frame from when the frosh dropped the two leads from our battery onto the frame.
