Huh??? Perhaps you are sensing some teacher vibes from him? After all, that IS what he is. Maybe he is making you squirm because of issues you had in school? Patrick and David are buddies, they worked well together in that other episode and they should be good together now.

I also think that Rev3/Systm should consider others for spot use when needed. (Dr Kiki included.)

This is awesome, every episode with him ends up making me feel smarter. He and Patrick seem to get along really well too, and David is definitely qualified.

Nice one revision 3!

There's not a Wiki entry on David, but he teaches robotics and computer engineering at SFSU, so he surely must have at least a Master's in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering. Throw in Patrick's hands-on technical knowledge, wrenching, welding and soldering skills, and it's a great match.

Lets see, David is smart, knows what he's doing and enjoys doing it. Sounds like a winner to me, Or as Patrick would say, " We like that".

The guy is more then qualified but he seems to have a nasty habit of repeating what Patrick says which starts to get annoying. It was a lot better in this episode though then his first appearance. Lets hope this is a continuing downward trend.
