Re: Top 10!

our programming team started calling the IFI Loader the "IffyLoader," cause it didn't work half the time

and we have subsidized the girls bathroom cause we're too lazy to walk the 30 extra meters to the boys bathroom.

Re: Top 10!

"Go! Go! Build a freaking part of the robot. " (Mentor to our team president)

Ok! How did I do that?

Put it all together and ... Do Hokey Pokey.

Ok thats bad.

What did I do?

You guys have to keep me away from the robot.

We have to make the holes more Drilly.

BAD IDEA .....Actually thats pretty funny.

I found a drill bit bigger than a quarter.( Holds up a quarter and a 1 3/4 inch drill bit)

Holy crap whay did you do that! That was the part that worked!
