Exactly! Act like your doing something important, and no one will ask you any questions

Mentor: "I don't care how the coffee spilled on the robot, clean it up before it gets into the electronics."

Mentor: "Wait you're telling me the coffee spilled out of the shop vac onto the robot? OK, you got me interested. Tell me exactly what happened."

Last night, we couldn't find any duct tape. This afternoon:

"Guys!! I found the duct tape!!"
"What?! Somebody's been putting it away!"

The sad part is that we legitimately didn't think to look in the toolbox. While said with chuckles, the above was sincere.

Today as we are drilling final mounting holes for a part:
student: We are just drilling holes on the fly. Nothing new.
Mentor: I would be careful drilling holes in the fly.
*Everybody cracks up laughing
student: on the fly, not in the fly
Mentor: well that changes things quite a bit, doesn't it?

Mentor: "We are all just spare robot parts"

[orangemoore]

"I should have put the robot on blocks"

(This was said after trying to test the robot revealing a huge lag issue that caused robot movement to be unpredictable...

Meaning that the robot ran full speed into a wall.
