...who started this up and why? I've noticed that I have begun to say it often. I blame you Anton. I think you were the first person to use it regularly, but I'm not sure. This blame is not a bad thing. I guess I'm not really blaming you: just giving credit where it's due. (Did I get myself back out of the hole I dug?)

it all started when anton was asking for some help with a question we were having about a drivetrain we were considering...i forget what exactly the question was...and he said basically any help would be appreciated cuz we rambots are a bunch of ninnies with powertools...and i guess its sorta stuck
go ninnies

yes, i started using this word somehow. i think i found it as a synonym for fool once and sorta started using it.

in any case, it fits my team so well. Ninnies with Powertools. we have no engineers, all college kids and high school kids just having a good time and learning in a safe environment about robots and blowing up things.... i take back the latter. :-)

in any case, ninny is a nice way to call someone smart.
