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.”
