When things go wrong on the Super Mario Bros. set:
Director: “CUT! You’re supposed to jump on the Koopa Troopa BEFORE kicking it at the Goombas! Ugh… why did that Italian plumber have to take a vacation now?”
As Andy attacks the obvious hint, Karthik is hiding behind the photographer, subtly searching for any further, more subtle hints left by Dave. He finally found it, two vertical posts surrounding the globe cafe, ready for launch.
After losing, Andy “the hare” Grady takes it out on the tortoise. The next race, the hare didn’t sleep, but the tortoise won again. From his hospital gurney, Andy vowed to build a robot to race for him the next time…
Having seen one too many Harry Potter movies, Andy attempts to reanimate 131’s 2008 robot “pokey” for one more offseason event using magic. Unfortunately, his aim was off, all he succeeded in doing was turning an innocent tourist into a monkey, seen in the background.
Andy was definitely not a fan of the RC turtle Jess got him for his birthday. A marital retribution equivalent to a hundred thousand clipboard whacks soon followed.
Here, Andy Grady learns what many new runners often learn after their first race: taking longer steps does not increase your speed, taking quicker steps does.
Thus, he learns this the hard way. He is beaten by a turtle in a sad attempt to get to the game hint first.
[NPOE]I think that actually running Cross Country this year is affecting my brain. Now, I’m applying CC morals to robotics. Something is VERY wrong here…[/NPOE]
