"What about... a crushing design?" Ed asked, leaning his chin against his open palm and then yawning.

It was well past midnight and you and the rest of the team were absolutely exhausted, but your robot's preliminary design details were due the next day so you all had to well, come up with a design. It was proving to be far more difficult than anyone imagined as nobody could seem to agree on the best type of bot, let alone it's materials, weight class, sketch, or name.

"Nooo," Shawn shook his head and leaned back in his chair, "crushers are too hard."

"Too hard? Those are quitters words!" Dylan grinned weakly. It was clear he was desperate just to move on.

"I dunno, I like crushing a robot to death just as much as the next gal, but it's hard to keep it in the weight limit, plus there are rules on how long a robot can be held in place by it's opponent," you shook your head, "I agree, it's too hard."

"Plus, ya know I don't know how you'd get the other robot just to drive into the crushing part, that sounds like the worst part," Ariana's face crinkled. You nodded at her and it was back to the drawing board.

"Well someone else make a suggestion then," Ed readjusted himself, tiredly leaning forward and rubbing his temples.

"We could do one of those ones with like the rolling pin thingy attached to the front," Shawn demonstrated his thoughts with a circular hand motion. You were still left somewhat confused though.

"Rolling pin thingy?" You raised your eyebrows.

"The drum," Dylan clarified and shrugged, "I don't hate it."

"Or we could do the flipper, those look like fun!" Ariana suggested, smiling a little.

"Who wants the drum style?" Ed asked, looking for a show of hands or some other signal from the group members.

You personally liked the flipper more, like Ariana had alluded to, they were really fun to watch and very versatile little creatures. So you sat quietly and didn't raise your hand. The only person who did, was Shawn who had suggested it.

He quickly rocketed his left arm up so that his fingers were anxiously spread, trying to grab Ed's attention.

"I see you," he sighed, "anyone else?"

You looked at Dylan and then Ariana, they both shook their heads, and you did the same.

"No," you finally answered.

"I like the other one," Dylan shrugged his shoulders and looked over at Shawn apologetically, "sorry buddy."

Shawn pouted and lowered his arm, "you guys suck," he whined.

"We suck what?" Ariana raised an eyebrow.

Shawn looked a little taken aback by the question, but quickly opened his mouth to answer.

"NO NO!" Dylan surged forward and pulled Ariana back away from Shawn, "NONE OF THAT! DON'T ANSWER!"

"She asked," Shawn mumbled, trying to suppress a smile.
