THE ROBO REMEDY
REPORTER FIRST STEPS FOR ROBO REMEDY
The second week
starts!
Watch what you’re saying, the
Marketing Team is listening…
On your right and below, you can see our new
section! Occasionally we will write quotes from
multiple people from the Robotics team (if we hear
something interesting) to make this funnier! This
week we focused on Bruno, because he was really
inspired this week….
“All the donkeys I know of can fly!” – James
“Lego connectors explode when they touch the
ground…” – Mr. Thom
Bruno: “I don’t care!”
Mady: “Are you trying to start a fight? Is that what
you’re doing?”
Emma: "What happens if they aren't doing what
they're supposed to?"
James: "Ahahaha... that's a very good question!"
Somebody: "...Boeing company."
Mady: "What? A bowling company...?"
"I know what you're thinking, and that is what
scares me..." - Mr. Thom to Mr. Plocher
"I had good quote from yesterday, but I didn't
remember what it was..." – Kaylia
"Mr. Winter is absolutely stacked" - James
Group work between all the students.
Famous Quotes from Bruno.
“It’s like a giant cheese ball!” (featuring Jerry)
“Sickness can wait, Robotics is more important!”
(featuring Nolan)
Emma: “Are you ok?”
“I eat when I’m stressed.” (featuring Kaylia) Bruno: “My name’s Bruno, but you can call me ok.”
