That's why you should read the manual, Bob.

Bob the builder aint building anymore

Never propose to a minisentry like bob.

"can we fix it?"
"No he can't ..."

When we return,
When a man's best friend decides it has been whacked with a wrench for too long
Stay tuned folks.

WTF was he doing standing next to it? Throw it down and then run around working with your shotgun. When it runs out of ammo drop another and start again

Typical bob!

I haven't played since the pyro update. What's a minisentry and why is it shooting at Bob?
8
It is a small sentry which builds fast and has 100 health. http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Sentry_Gun#Combat_Mini-Sentry_Gun
Also it is shooting at bob because there is an enemy where the sentry is pointing and bob is in the way. Sentries can damage their builders.

Thanks.

I see this as the sentry saying "Go ahead, punch me again"
7
I kinda wish they had a sapper that did that.
6
That would be GLORIOUS. Especially if it made the WOLOLO! sound when you successfully sap it.
5
A friendly fire sapper would be awsome. Spy will also need a wrangler for that.

My name is Bob :(

You can die by walking in front of your own sentry.
I learned this the hard way: Gold Rush stage 2, with a level 3 sentry.
Ouch.

On a side note, have you guys seen that written about you on the forum?

I know enough to hate the minisentry, but not enough to know when it can be properly used. Can someone point out when it's useful, and when I can shout at someone for wrongly using it?

It's useful when you're not aiming to turtle, but are instead aiming to distract and harass enemies. Minisentries are cheap and fast to deploy for good reasons:
- Drop one when you're retreating - your enemy will probably make a beeline for the sentry and give you room to escape.
- Drop one in a wide open space and go roaming with your shotgun. As an engineer, your real class advantage is that you can attack from two places at once.
- Drop them as your team moves forward to assist with repelling the enemy.
That said, I do enjoy playing harassment engie with the regular sentry. I tend to set one up in a place that will get some foot traffic but is otherwise sheltered. I then upgrade it to level 2 and move it to a more aggressive position, where i'll upgrade it as fast as possible to level 3.

Plus a minisentry dies quicker making the frontier justice a good combo since you can go around with lots of crits.
3
That's the only one I heard before, while it is true and effective, it feels selfish to me. Other classes can crit or hit high, so can a real sentry. Your other reasons are new to me, thanks.
2
Once I stored about twelve crits. You know what happened after.

You died.

Happens to me way too many times.
They disable friendly fire, but this? why not?
1
An engineer has to be careful of his own sentry, just as a soldier has to be careful of his own rockets and a demo has to be careful of his own grenades and stickies
6
Also because you can use your sentry's bullet knockback to push yourself in the air and get into weird high places. Google 'tf2 sentry jumping'.

You have got to hate those damn things.

"Did you read the manual?"
"Nobody reads the manual."
"Then it's in the manual!"

That expression is priceless.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING MINISENTRY NO DON'T SHOOT ME NOOOO"
This is pretty much asdfmovie material.
Sort of reminded me of a video that Salamancer posted a while back.
