Maybe he means a Torx head. Those are star-shaped.

Speaking of Torx heads, we were making bumpers and we had to remove the metal brakets on them to put the fabric on, and:

Jim: Get me a hex key set
(Tony gets green Torx key set)
Jim: NO NO NO NOT THE GREEEN ONE!!! Those are Torx - NOT hex...
(Ed gets orange hex key set)
Jim (takes key set): Of course you pick the most messed up one (we all watch as it semi falls apart)

And speaking of Tony - Discussion about him after he leaves:
Tim: Did you see that part on the practice robot?
Jim: I see a metal plate with a random hole in it.
Tim: Notice how the holes aren't in the right place? I marked that plate exactly where I needed the holes drilled, and Tony flipped it over and drilled the holes on the back. You can still see the original marks.

And speaking of random holes:
"Is that a random hole? Oh No, this is turning into an OCCRA bot..." (our OCCRA bots tend to have many holes in random locations since we tend to make lots of mistakes)

And speaking of OCCRA:
"It's good enough for OCCRA" ~On everything we mess up
