Code:
int rand = Math.rand() * 127;
int pos_neg = Math.rand;
if(pos_neg > 0.5) 
pos_neg = 1;
else 
pos_neg = -1;

//Drive Motors
pwm_04=pwm_05=(rand + 127);
pwm_06=pwm_07=(rand * pos_neg + 127);

//Arm
pwm_08=255; //Arms up!
pwm_09=(rand/2*pos_neg + 127);  //Wavy hands
This isn't a joke; this will be our autonomous algorithm next year if our students don't come up with anything to do in autonomous. Students be warned!
I can tell you that was definitely not the case with this guy, he is one of the most gregarious outgoing guys I have ever met... I think this was more a case of microsoft being microsoft. The primary problem was that they did NOT track previous user interactions with the paper clip, and by presenting the paper clip as a "living" character they created expectations of that from the user without ever delivering it.
