What are the funniest mechanical engineering stories you know?
One story is about an engineer who was trying to assemble a large industrial robot. He accidentally put two of the main limbs in the wrong positions. When they powered it up, instead of moving gracefully as it was supposed to, it flailed around like a drunk octopus. It was both hilarious and a big lesson in double - checking assembly instructions.
In a workshop, an engineer was working on a custom - made bicycle. He added all kinds of high - tech gadgets to it. But when he took it for a test ride, the chain kept falling off. He had overlooked the simplest thing - the alignment of the sprockets. As he was trying to fix it on the side of the road, people passing by were laughing at the 'fancy broken bike'.
