How mad was Kevin, the mad scientist? Why was he mad?
Kevin was very, very, VERY mad. He was mad because the program would make the claw only go down and the ball cannot be dropped. Also, he had many logical errors in his code and Kevin built this during a freezing snow storm.
This is Kevin the very, very, very, very, VERY Mad Scientist.
