Engineer on team #419, Rambots, from Wentworth Institute of Technology.
I’m going to tell you a story:
Once upon a time there once was a silly boy who thought he could be a cool kid and do dumb things. This got him into a lot of trouble. First he got into trouble with UMass security, and got put on probation. Then, however, instead of learning his leason, he stole a very important piece of equiptment from our box 'o tools that a bigger, meaner, and much more stubborn college student happened to be using at the same time.
First, the boy was beaten a little, and asked for the specific tool back. He refused.
Then, he was bound tightly in an almost unyeilding position. Again, he refused to give the tool back.
This was not a smart idea, as then he was beaten some more, and stripped down to his boxers. Again, he refused.
At this point however, he started to get a little annoyed that the college student would NOT let off of it, or let go of the holds he had the student in. So the student decided he was going to be a bigger, tougher man, and try to out muscle the college student, who immediatly strung the highschool student up by his family jewels until the team leader decided to let him down…
This was given as a warning to any highschool student intent on stealing tools…think of your children…
All he had to do was give back the bottle of epoxy.

“Just give back the epoxy…that’s all you have to do…just give me back the epoxy.” -the college student.
