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

Go!

[Taylor]

Anybody can make a human pyramid. Fairport's human sphere and human cube led to their Team Spirit Award.

[rsisk]

No matter how many people they threw at the problem, they still couldn't help Jimmy find the contact lens he dropped.

[efoote868]

(GDC Member) If only we could somehow incorporate this structure into a game... better wait a while, we did tetrahedrons two years ago.

[thatprogrammer]

Kids: "Now get the robot to practice climbing!'
Mentor: "How many time have I told you that pvc does not stand for 'people vertically connected?..'"

[GeeTwo]

And this is how you mount a Blue Lightning (http://fairportrobotics.org/prod/2007_website/) Rod!

[GaryVoshol]

Girl on top: "Lift me higher, or I will continue to flog you!" (Maybe she's related to Yertle.)

[Kevin Leonard]

Unfortunately the recycling container fell off the top- I was gonna set a new high score with that stack!

[EricH]

Kid on the bottom row: "Uh, guys? You do realize that the 30-point bonus only applies to ROBOTS over 1' from the ground in their home zone, right?"

[DonRotolo]

(Thanks for the help looking for my contact, guys!)
Hi Mom!

[Wayne Doenges]

Here we see where the GDC got their inspiration for Ultimate Ascent. You can even see a student (blue hair) simulating a robot climbing the pyramid :D

[cgmv123]

She just volunteered to clean up the entire event herself. And she only has 2 hours to turn the venue over to a pharmaceutical convention.

[MARS_James]

Man why does the 2013 live stream only show one side of the field, on the red pyramid we have 3 robots doing a 30 point climb. On the blue we just have 2 duct tape headbands.

[Jim Wilks]

Announcement over PA system: "We need a team to tear down the field - any volunteers?"

Person at top of pyramid "We are 578!"

The result is history.

[DohertyBilly]

By all that you hold dear on this good Playing Field, I bid you elevate, Robots of the East!

[M1KRONAUT]

Guy in yellow jacket: "Yes! I like what I see! Team 578 would be just perfect as mindless cyborg servants who could help me reach the top shelf in my pantry!"

No offense, guy in the yellow jacket, but that face, especially with the red eye effect, looked like pure evil glee.

[DonRotolo]

Clarification of Previous Entry:

(Thanks for the help looking for my contact lens, guys!)
Hi Mom!

[orangemoore]

Team 578 creates engineering masterpieces using its students both on and off the field.

[Ichlieberoboter]

"I volunteer as tribute!"

PA system: "Alright, looks like we have a volunteer for field tear down!"

"Wait, that's what this was for?! Lower the pyramid, pretend this never happened, quickly!!!"

[Billfred]

Terribly sorry about the delay! Moving my business and getting 4901 fired back up for the year is more work than I realized!

First place goes to:

Anybody can make a human pyramid. Fairport's human sphere and human cube led to their Team Spirit Award.


Second place goes to:

Kids: "Now get the robot to practice climbing!'
Mentor: "How many time have I told you that pvc does not stand for 'people vertically connected?..'"

And the burn award goes to:

Man why does the 2013 live stream only show one side of the field, on the red pyramid we have 3 robots doing a 30 point climb. On the blue we just have 2 duct tape headbands.
