Go to Post I bet a lot of us (mentors and students) got into this line of work first because we wondered how things work, and stayed in it because we thought "I can make that work better". Thus starts a life-long battle between perfection and time. So far, time is ahead. - petek [more]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #294

Kids: OK, so you hook the Lego motor to the RCX, then hook it to the whatsit, then hook the whatsit to the whodijingle, then the whodijingle to the whatchamacallit, then add in a flux capacitor, adjust with a metric crescent wrench and a left-handed screwdriver, and then hit it with a hammer. It'll hang on the bar all right, in about 1 second.

Mentor in back: Sounds great, let's do it! *thinking* I hear this too often. Now where do I hear it? I seem to remember something about whoever says it wearing orange or blue. It also never works. I'll have to think about that a bit...

Kid 1: Ok, you want PB&J on what kind bread?
Kid 2: White. Get this straight the first time, we'll have to order pizza and Taco Bell in a few years and that will be hard.

Mentor: I coach an FRC team, you guys are wayyy ahead of the game. Keep it up.
