As always, the deadline is nominally Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

[EricH]

Landmines have disabled more robots than the E-stop buttons have. Purple ones are exceptionally dangerous, as seen here.

[SuperNerd256]

You know the rules! Don't try to balance your robot on the game pieces, or something bad will happen! :yikes:

[akoscielski3]

I hate when we get to competition and we find out we put the wheels on the wrong side...

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Sort of reminds me of the famous scene in the movie "CARS" when Luigi and Guido meet the Ferrari. No words are necessary.

[Katie_UPS]

The robot played the role of drive coach and pointed the other drivers towards the scoring area.

[rsisk]

If only Team Voltage had listened to tonight's EWCP podcast on drive trains, they would have known that the wheels go on the bottom of the robot.

[dodar]

Behind the scenes of the Dodgeball 2: FIRST is Best, the sequel to Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.

[Karibou]

The drivers for Team Voltage didn't quite understand the coach when he warned that they might trip a breaker.

Instead, they heard "trip and break her"

[iPenguin]

Team Voltages' electrical team thought it would be funny to demonstrate the true meaning of the words "Voltage Drop."

[GaryVoshol]

"If we'd only had bumpers ..."

[Taylor]

Bystander: "Hey, are those the new AndyMark pneumatic wheels?"
Driver: "Sure, wanna see 'em?"

Coach: "While I appreciate your enthusiasm, next time let's show off the drivetrain IN THE PIT!"

[EricS-Team180]

Voltage makes a pointed effort to leave this match to S.P.A.M. and PINK

[J.Warsoff]

Well, that's the last time we will EVER try an "evasive maneuver."

[Jim Wilks]

Team 386 thought that by using a pyramid, they would have everlasting sucess. Little did they know that their robot, like the pyramids would fall.

[Cody Burd]

who knew ants can tip robots

[Ninja_Bait]

But the really amazing thing is how long the robot stayed on the robotic bull before it fell to the ground. Even the robotic rodeo clowns were impressed.

[DonRotolo]

386's innovative "Pointer Bot", which helps direct the vision-challenged drive team towards the goal.

I see Katie only got -1/2 Infinity, so either Billfred is admitting to being old (or maybe half-old?) or he is a true mathematical prodigy by demonstrating for miss-smarty-pants that a rational fraction of Infinity is still Infinite.

[EricH]

And now we know just how much of the week-ending posts Don actually reads--Billfred just cut Katie a break because of some dental work.

[CNettles11]

Team Voltage does their own stunts!

[Dr Theta]

Team member 1: It was the witch! Burn the witch!
Rest of team: Burn the witch!
Mentor: Hey guys the programmer says he may have had some values wrong in the autonomous code.
Rest of team: ...Burn the Programmer!

[SuperNerd256]

8/23, Never forget.

(If you don't get it, look at this: http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2011/08/23/823-never-forget/)

[DonRotolo]

Oh. :o

[rachelholladay]

This picture is a fake, there arent enough screaming fans in the stands to make it a real FIRST event.

[Tyler Olds]

Engage Flag Mode!

How can we start the match while still being under the 60" height requirement?

[IndySam]

Voltage finds out that their new sponsor "Life Alert" comes at a high cost!

[Hallry]

Now THAT brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'Dropped Voltage' ;)

[Molten]

It broke dancing.

[JaneYoung]

And that's when Voltage electrified the fans.

[Wayne Doenges]

Driver: I'm sorry I tipped the robot over. What's that written on the bottom of the bot? "If you can read this, thank your driver." Ha Ha, very funny."

[Billfred]

It's still Sunday!

First place goes to:

Voltage finds out that their new sponsor "Life Alert" comes at a high cost!


Second place goes to:

Bystander: "Hey, are those the new AndyMark pneumatic wheels?"
