Applied Inventiontronics, Period 4 - Week 7

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

The desks were paired off again, each with a set of tools, and there was a crate full of completely modable spare parts.

Yes, kids, it is project time again, and Glitch was standing at the front of the class looking very delighted by the whole thing. Really, this was probably his favorite kind of class to teach.

"Alright, class," he said with a smile. "Today, you're going to build something out of nothing. Pick up some parts and start to put them together. Don't worry if you can't get it to work or don't have a set design for it. It doesn't even have to have a real function, if you can't find one, heh. The point of this is for you to get an idea of what it's like to start building something with these materials."

There may or may not have been a moment or two where he bounced ever so slightly, but those moments should be ignored.

"And don't forget that after next weeks break, you'll need to be ready to bring in your preliminary designs for your final projects."

Nothing like ending the lecture on something to strike fear into the hearts of his students, though that wasn't entirely intended.

Rodney dug through the spare parts again and pulled out a suitable looking base. "This should work," he said as he set it up. "But I'm not testing it," he muttered.

"Doom will test it," Doom said. "He is the Lord of Awesome. This is Doom's right."

Doom raised his hand to the appropriate location for maximum hand-slappage.

"Let the machine swing when you're ready, Rodney. Doom is braced for the awesome."

He rolled his eyes. Again. "All set, Lord Awesome," Rodney knew it was a bad idea to encourage him, even if it was sarcastic, but he couldn't help it. It was rather amusing. He released the counterweight and the 'arm' swung upwards towards Doom's hand. So far, so good.

The high five connected.

"Doom deems this to be awesome. Good work, friend!"

"Yay for the awesome," Rodney deadpanned. Still he was pleased that their project had worked. Even if it was lame. "Thanks," he said with just the slightest smirk.
