Offcamera: Wow, have there been any side effects?
Eric: A couple, now he's useless in the pit and talks like a marketing major.

Eric: Hmm... That can't be right... Hey, John, every time I try, I end up dividing by zero. That can't be good, can it?

Eric: (5 minutes later) Nope, still doesn't. How about instead, we put a snout and four legs on it?
Paul: NOOOOOOOO!
JVN: YES!!

Eric: "They're just jealous that I built this bot without their help."
*Team 229 comes out, picks up Eric and places him unceremoniously in the dumpster*
