Hey, guys? Did we misplace the Oompa-Loompas that were supposed to be operating this contraption?

Ahh.....freshman.....

"I knew we shouldn't have bought that robot kit from IKEA!"

[Ninja_Bait]

Maybe it's time for them to start using the kitbot again...

The CAD was nice, but they just couldn't build a custom robot.

Okay, it says Step Two: build a prototype. Check.
