Episode Twenty-Two



Ravi and Sonia rejoice in a new running character: "Enna The Coffee Gal". They then welcome Marc Hodosh, chairperson of FIRST Boston, who describes the upcoming Boston Regional Robotics Competition -- and assures Ravi that the robots will not rebel. And "The Woz" is duly honored.

Enna the Coffee Gal should have a jingle, or at least a familiar greeting like "NORM!". Or at the very least, a robot claw.

justin -- first out of the gate to open the floodgates ;-) where are you when I put these together?! A jingle is *brilliant*! We'll gather the DriveTime Musical Elves for the next appearance of Enna.

Why is Enna giving you coffee?

Who is she?

Where does she come from?

Is she attached to a coffee shop?

How did she know what type of coffee you wanted?

The mystery of Enna the Coffee Gal will certainly unravel in future episodes. What motivates her? Is she in the coffee industry? Does she do tea?!

My high school used to send teams to the US First competition as well (I'm from Canada, eh). Strange to hear it mentioned on your show.

joe blarnystone -- we didn't just mention the Robotic competition. We celebrated it! I did indeed go check out the action this morning, I posted some pics on Raviblog.

And a DriveTime "How's it goin' eh?" to our friends in Canada.

To show how Canada-centric I've been in the past 24 hours:
-- I just got the new R30 Rush DVD/CD set yesterday; watched some last night and am listening right now
-- we watched some SCTV last night (3D House of Pancakes)

joe -- how did you guys do? And more importantly, did the robots ever rebel?

No the robots didn't rebel :( However some did go crazy. (Ours did when we were working on it nearly took off another guys leg!!!)
We were about in the middle of 48 teams.
