Re: Once Upon a Last Fix-It Window
Once upon a last Fix-it Window
For team 469
Just a few minor tweaks are needed
To make the robot just fine
Twas the night before the fix-it window
And all through the machine shop
Not a tool was being used
Not even a mop
All the parts to be made
Were laid out with care
With hopes that anxious students
Would soon be there
The drawings were out
And the parts are all marked
And myself and the other mentors
Were ready for the orders that Art barked
At 12 noon
The machining began
And everyone started making parts
As fast as they can
When all of a sudden
There was some shouting
"You drilled the wrong holes!"
Alex says to Mel, who was pouting
"We can use that piece
On the other side" says Dan
A few mistakes were made
But they did the best that they can
At 5 pm that day
The window was done
The kids put down their tools
All smiling from the fun
We packed up the parts
And put them in a bin
And labeled it "Atlanta Bound"
With hopes that we would win
As we cleaned up the shop
We all laughed about the times we've already had
And we know the best is yet to come
There is no time to be sad
Soon we will board the bus
With two other teams
And we will start friendships
That will last lifetimes it seems
We hope to do our best in Atlanta
Yet wish good luck to all
And to our friends in OCCRA
We'll see you in the fall...
Probably not what you were expecting...but I was feeling creative this morning. It doesn't happen much...
