An exhausted but happy Ben was mainlining coffee in the Danger Room today as he waited for the students to arrive. "Hello again," he said with a bright smile. "I was glad to see how much technical experience most of you already had last week--that'll make this class a lot more fun when we don't have to slow down and explain why touching hot metal with your bare fingers is bad."
He rolled his eyes at that example, then smiled again.
"As you might have noticed, there are a lot of hills on this island, which makes it completely perfect for Soap Box car races," he said. "These are cars powered only by gravity, so no engines to muck with this time, but you do have to work to make it as aerodynamic as possible. I've put out all of the supplies you'll need to make your cars, so work on it for the class period and we'll race them next week once the paint's had time to dry, okay?"
He grinned over at Barry. "The TA and I will participate, too. If you can come up with a good prize for the winner, come talk to me. I'm thinking ice cream, but I could be persuaded."
