2

Student in the robot (to mentor): So you said that the doohickey goes into the whatchamacallit this way?
Other student: Nah, it’s the other way around, dude.
Mentor: No, it’s the whatchamacallit into the doohickey, and there’s only one way to do it right.
Student in the robot: You mean soldering, crimping, bolting, inserting, welding, gluing, or some combination of the above?
Mentor: Students these days… think they know more than their elders…

3

A young McGyver builds a complete robot with only a few hand tools, wire nuts, and a roll of electrical tape.

4

We don’t need safety glasses - we covered the dangerous parts of our robot in foam.

5

Student: See, if we just tweak this support connection here, the whole thing will collapse down into itself, and we’ll be able to go through the tunnel.

Mentor thinks: I doubt it, but have fun trying.

6

You forgot to plug in the battery again didn’t you?!? The connector only goes in one way!

7

Guy holding the camera: What are you doing?! Why are you eating that wire’s insulation?!

Guy kneeling: Hey, it tastes good. The whole “death by electrocution” thing is only a minor side effect.

8

“Two more feet of pool noodle and the bot should be ready for next year’s water game.”

9

Mentor: Hey lets get dinner.
Student: I’ve eaten, how do you think the robot got in this shape.

10

Team member:
“I am a Supernerd, I can DO this…”
thought bubble - I’m doomed.

Teammates - “We should call Superdork, Rich Kressly, for some advice.”
thought bubbles - he thinks he’s doomed now, heh heh heh.

[npoe]apologies to Rich - an awesome mentor to students and mentors, and a great sport when it comes to teasing.[/npoe]

11

“What!?! You don’t get seeding points for having extra tubing?”

12

Alka-Seltzer commercial gets updated for the next generation of customers.

Pop, pop, hiss, hiss, oh what a leak it is.

<npoe>Build season had NOOOTHING to do with this entry</npoe>

13

Bad things happen, worse things happen, but when you let a programmer touch the robot…

14

Robot inspector (not shown): “Hey, excessive lengths of pneumatic tubing isn’t allowed!”

[npoe]Billfred, I feel like this picture is way below par.[/npoe]

15

<Cue eastern european accent>
In Soviet Russia, Robot fixes You!

16

The spurned robot commiserates with his peers at the annual Red Headed Stepchild Convention.

**

17

Student kneeling: “I’ve cut this wire three times and it’s still too short.”

18

Student: “I’ve replaced every connection on the robot and its still not working!”
Mentor: “Maybe you should plug a battery to that Anderson connector you’re staring at.”

19
