We are engineers and robot builders. A lot of the time we use jargon and sometimes we use a big word that means exactly one thing. This is a quick glossary to words and terms that may not be a part of everyday life. (Well unless you are some big shot full time robotics engineer, then you use these words all the time!)

E

=== easy peasy === is an English (UK) expression meaning very easy (short for easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy and sometimes said as easy peasy puddin'n'pie!) Except that Team 1640 uses it backwards. When someone says "easy peasy" they are really saying "That's a lot of work, but I'll do it".

L

lubricous

Means having an oily smoothness. We use this word to refer to plastics that we use for bearing surfaces that have a slippery feel. Plastics like HDPE or Teflon are used on our robots on a regular basis.

R

=== roboteer === are our robotics students, but that takes too long to say, so we are roboteers!
