Student: Drive it like you own it Senator!
Franken: Son, I’m from the government. We do own it.

Senator: What does this button do?
Student: Which button?
Senator: [reaches to point at button, but accidentally presses it] This one.
[goes back to joystick] It’s not moving anymore!
Student: [visibly annoyed] That was the E-Stop. We have to reset now.
Student: See Senator? We have students on both sides that help contribute to the robot - Upper AND Lowerclassmen.
Senator:
Hm, what does this button do?
That’s when everything went on the fritz.

Student: So FIRST gave us 6 weeks and this is the robot we built
Senator: Son, you didn’t build that.
Senator: "hmmm could you retrofit this for pies? I think I just found a new way to end a philibuster! "
Senator: “So you built this robot in only six weeks and under budget?”
Student: “Yes sir, we did.”
Senator: “Hmm, maybe you could give some of my staff some pointers about deadlines and budgets.”

“I didn’t just hit that, did I? You… You got me on camera hitting that? Oh no. There goes the bank account.”
Positive proof that anybody can drive a robot.
They named it Fritz, but anticipating this moment they really had wanted to name it Stein.
The first two things I read were “Senator” and “bot”, so logically I assumed Fritz IV has been elected to the legislature.
It’s still Sunday!
