Here are a list of quotes from our first ever season of NITRO. Over the course of the 6 weeks of NITRO's existence this year, the students have learned many many invaluable lessons, about mechanics, enginnering, electronics. As well as even more important lessons in common sense and social skills.
Rouxi: "Robots break easily."
Alex: "Year 11 students aren't ALWAYS right..."
Terry: "HAIR!!!" (inside joke)
Gerado: "NEVER let Karan solder your motors."
Terry: "Never let anyone trip over your controller."
Sagnik: "Rivets are painful - when you get them stuck to your finger."
Tagore: "There's not always a winner."
Oliver: "Over-volting can ruin motors"
Frank: "You can't always blame it on the batteries.."
CU: "Soldering is harder than it looks."
Rohan: "Torque is everything."
My favorite NITRO conversation:
CU: "C'mon, give me the soldering iron..."
[fumbles with hot iron]
Kyu: "My hair is on fire!"
Frank: "I didn't know dreadlocks are flammable..."
And my personal favorite quote:
Tagore: "Weight limits are um... more like GUIDELINES."
