yay! Hardware stores runs.
The night we put the hanging mechanism on our robot a small group worked from 4 pm to like 2:30 am to make it work. The best part was that the hardware store closes at like 8:30. So we work to figure out all the supplies we needed and then go with one of the mentor like 15-20 minutes before the place closes.

We make a mad dash into the place(yeah, we actually run) and get all the nuts and bolts we need to put this thing together. To this particular mentor the hardware store is like a giant toy store. He is not only thinking what he how he could get everything to work, but also what he could do with all the other neat things in there. He has a lot of these "toys" too. Well we get everything we need and head to the counter, now we have less than ten minutes before closing, and he dashes back into the store. We were left at the counter and eventually all of us (including the mentor) was forced out of the store, well we were the only ones there and they had locked all the doors. I not even sure what he was looking for (we had everything). I get the impression he was just playing.
