What about you? do you have any silly scrap stories?
My old school showed up in their first year with an all wood robot.
People pointed and laughed at it till it started pushing people all over the place and was placing tetras on the goals with ease and they stopped laughing and got busy having to deal with it.
Part only make up the robot. They don't make the robot. Ingenuity does that.
