Hello dear avid readers:

Keerthana and I decided that we would do something "out of the norm" today :)Today was a very coincidential day: we did some researching and snooping to find out what people really say when Build and pressure gets to them.

We must say: we got some satisfying results.

Quote 1:
Devaki: Do you wanna help her while she's screwing the screws on?
Madhav: No... course not. We're cool.
--------
This is going on while Madhav is standing there and Jene is killing her hands while trying to hold the conveyor in place and screwing on at the same time.

Quote 2:
This is from Mike, so of course we all know that something is definetely involved.
-------
Mike: I like getting on top of elephants. Elephants are soft.

Quote 3:
This is a quote usually used by Mike, though unfortunately, it's been spreading:
---------
Mike and others: "That's what she said."
Kinda got annoying after the 20th time.

Quote 3:
This quote is happening while Jene is working on the conveyor belt design. She's trying to screw the gusset down into the bosh, but its proving to be quite difficult. So of course, she's going, "No, no no!" And our dear Mike, sensing the perfect opportunity, says, "Are you sane?" While she's screaming "no!" at the conveyor belt. Aahh. Gotta love Mike. Actually, not really =). Watch him hunt us down tomorrow :)

Quote 4:
Mr. Shinta, Rohan, and Mr. Latnen are talking about the Austrailian Outback, with all the kangaroos and Finding Nemo came up in that conversation as well :)
-------
Mr. Shinta: Yeah, we were driving around there, and we found kangaroo roadkill like every 15 seconds. Others witnessing: "Eeewwww!!"
and the Finding Nemo one:
"Is there really a P. Sherman. 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney?"
This author actually bothered to research that: and yes there is a Wallaby Way, but not in Sydney. Its in some other random smaller cities.

Quote 5:
We don't remember where exactly this happened but its very true
------
"You fail"

Quote 6:
Nupur's :
"Jeet looks like he's a fencing captain with that long rod. He's carrying it like one too."

Quote 7:
We don't remember who said this:
"Lets go whack someone on the head with the pub mix box!!"

Quote 8:
Mike is famous again:
"WE FINISHED THE JELLY BEANS THAT WAS 2/3 WAY FULL AND THE PUB MIX BOX IN ONE DAY?!!!"
And looking back on that, that is pretty amazing.

Quote 9:\
The electrical gyro/autonomous team is looking at the code; and they need help. So, they ask Chris.
"Hey Chris! You wanna help us out?"
Chris: "uuuhhh. That seems like a good idea, actually."

Quote 10:
Devaki is updating Labview to a more recent version. She uses Mike's thumb drive and opens Windows Explorer to copy the updates onto the individual laptops. And she finds out the name of the thumb drive is Mike's USB. And she asks Mike why out loud.
Mike's reply: "Mike's USB. You know why its called that ? because if you kill it, mike will get to you and you will not be happy after that meeting."

Quote 11:
Its from Jeet. Its the last one, because these authors think that he's annoying :) AND HE WENT TO A LINKIN PARK CONCERT WITH JAY-Z featured on it too!!!But it closes off our spiel nicely.
Jeet: "Alright everyone! LET'S GET THIS ROBOT DONE!!"

Well, we've done a bit of snooping, and digging. We might even do one next week, as build comes to a close in two weeks.

Thankyou!
Over and out,
Keerthana and Devaki.
