That's because the best electronician is a girl... aka me... ya that one was said at about 3 am 2 or 3 days before ship... and in the first week of the build season, I was teaching myself inventor and wanted the (what I now know as) calipers, but the guys told me they were tactometers... our coach looked at me like I was crazy. We also asked for some tactometers at the Portland regional... the pit announcer says, "oh yea, I know what those are!!" and then she announced it. We couldn't stop laughing for half an hour. And then in Vegas after we announced that we needed some Robert's Steel, three teams came over with different types of steel asking if we could use it. That was the best. There's plenty of others, but there on poster board up in our physics classroom, I'll have to go take a look.
