Re: Your Funniest FIRST Experience

I'm fairly certain that if the Atlanta Hotels Sydicate ever finds this thread, we're finished gentlemen. That being said I'll add my own fond reccollections from this, my rookie year:

1) One day sitting in the shop, we we're discussing some hairbrained scheme that required a 9v battery with low internal resistance. Let's watch...

Teammate: What we need is a really 9v battery that can handle a helluva lot of amperage draw.

Me: Like a car battery or something. But that would be a really weird car battery...

Teammate: *chuckles* Yeah, like a russian car battery!

Me: In Soviet Russia, Battery is limited by YOUR INTERNAL RESISTANCE!!!

Everyone in Earshot: Muhahaha!

2) Well, the contest for funniest moment in this last build season is 0wned by: When Robots Attack!!!

Seriously, check out that link :-)
