[kajidohsledge.livejournal.com]

Characters: Smithy and his students
What: Basis of Mechanics Class 3 (PROJECT)
When: Tuesday, June 23rd
Where: The Mechanics classroom
Rating: Hopefully PG.

"Harrumph!"

Yet again, the common greeting rang through the room as the students sat down and Smithy addressed his class. "Today is a very important day. Each and every one of you are going to have a project to do."

He walked around the class as he continued. "You are each going to pair off with another student. I will allow you to choose who you pair off with. HOWEVER!" He faced the class. "If any of you are late or cannot decide for yourselves, I will decide for you. You can also ask me if you'd rather me decide for you. As for the project...

"Every two students are to build a mechanical robot. It does not matter what its form is, or how big or small it is. It must be a 'mecha' - that is, a mechanoid or a robot that you would see in some animations. You can make them like the ones you may or may not have seen in those shows, or you may make your own. Your grade will depend on how well it looks, as this project is merely to test your skills in the class thus far, as well as your willingness to work with others." The last few words were spoken with a very gruff tone; Smithy was used to working on his own, so it was odd to say this.

"Now, sign in, decide who you're going to pair off with, ask me any questions you'd like or if you want me to pair off with others, and begin! You have two weeks to finish this assignment. You may work on this outside of class anytime you wish; it is up to you to contact your partner outside of class. BEGIN!"

Knuckles was dubious about this. He was not incredibly good with the mechanical side of things. His autoshop grades were decent but Google was his friend when it came to looking up specific things for specific models of car.... very little of the skills he brought to that class were natural. Wave's help had been absolutely invaluable when it came to upgrading his car into an electric model.... he'd have been lost without her guidance.

Basicly... creating something from scratch like this was going to be a much trickier excersize than he'd tackled yet and he was feeling anxious that whoever he had the misfortune to wind up with was going to lose grade points due to his lack of expertise.

"I'm open."

Oh hey, that was... the red kid who talked about cars or auto-shop or something, right? Jeff didn't really pay much attention to other people's on-line journals. However, if this guy knew about cars, then he probably knew about mechanics. ... Right?

"Hey... mind if I team up with you?"

"Sure." Knuckles replied with a nod. "You're Jeff, right...? You were at Fangs' party. If ytou didn't catch it then, my name is Knuckles." the Echidna said, offering a hand to be shaken.

Oh right. The party. Jeff hadn't been paying the most attention at that time. What with trying to get drunk and all.

"Yes, of course," he shook the offered hand.
