when a supply teacher tries to do a lesson on circuits and show's us how to make little buggies...and i end up correcting her every 5 minutes and end up taking over the lesson...

When you can't open the drawers at work for bearings, gears, sprockets, belts, nuts and bolts all donated by fellow workers who bring things to me before it goes in the bin.

When you can't get to the back of your machine for metal and plastic off-cuts dug out of the metal skip......

When you check out every passing electric wheelchair to see if they are running CIM motors........no.....I still haven't found a supplier. I have even contacted the importers and they won't sell me any because I am not a registered dealer!

You know when you're a roboteer when you empty your pockets before the wash and find more nuts and bolts and screwdrivers than lint (happens to me a lot, had a packet of M2 bolts break in my pocket)

When: there's a tyre on the floor of a garage and you see a robot
When: there's a wheelybin on a pavement and you see a robot.
When: you can't walk past a skip without looking in it.
