Now, here's the story. For now, I am pegging the deadline for build season at this Saturday at Midnight, with judging and the next contest coming the morning after. However, I am considering a change to the schedule to allow the deadline for this contest to become next Saturday at midnight, since I know some folks are slightly crazy this time of year. I can't remember why, though.

So here's the deal--along with your entry, post whether you want to make caption contests during build season last one week or two. I will survey the responses Friday after noon Eastern, and post the decision shortly after.

After build season, it's back to normal. Or as normal as this caption contest ever gets.

Here's the picture:

Enjoy!

[EddieMcD]

My opinion: you have the (mostly) solid schedule going for you the past 6 months. You may as well keep it the way it is through build season.

"My lightbulb just clicked on! Oh sure, I had to lift it up... doesn't mean I'm slow or anything... stop looking at me like that!"

[Jay H 237]

I agree with Eddie. Most of us are used to the current schedule.

OK, now for my entry:

Team Update #16

In response to complaints FIRST received about not having the human players involved in the matches enough, FIRST will now require each human player to hold up a beacon with their teams color for the entire duration of the match. FIRST regrets any inconvenience this may cause any teams and/or human players.

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Opinion. Keep it to one week. That way things get moving and people remember to check.

<entry>
"Ah! Bright color! I'll work on the robot later... *goggle*"
</entry>

[Steve W]

Wipe that smile off your face. The red light proves that you are lieing. Now for the last time did you eat that last Krispy Kream?

[Koko Ed]

Finally! A team has figured out how to combine the robt and human player into one!

[Bcahn836]

Wasn't there something in the rule book in 2003 about taking care of the dome lights?

[MissInformation]

"Uh-oh... maybe if I distract them with this red light, they won't realize I just farted..."

[Kyle Love]

I'm sending signals back to my home planet of Lavery where the mars rover roams around now-a-days

[Travis Hoffman]

"MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! The Palantir of Isengard is MINE! Behold the almighty Eye of Sauron!!!!!!.....um....so what the heck am I supposed to do with this stupid thing now???? I know - I'll put it on our robot and bathe our opponents in his fiery red illumination! All will crumble before us under the weight of Sauron's visage!"

Later that month at the Mordor Regional, the qualifying match list is released.....

"We have to face Team F.R.O.D.O. in the first match???? Aw, crap."

[IMDWalrus]

My lightsaber is broken. If I concentrate hard enough, maybe I can use the Force to fix it...

[greencactus3]

weeeeell i waaaaas holding the robot up above the stage so everyone in the audience could see.....and.... well i guess i didnt have a good enough grip...but hey, the rotating light still works! :p

[shyra1353]

I hate it when people dont finish their sent .. OOOHH OOOHH a bright light ...



(keep it to one week ...)

[dlavery]

... and they told me that if I just rub the lamp long enough and REALLY, REALLY believe hard enough, then a genie will come out and grant me three wishes!

Waddaya mean this is the wrong lamp?!?!!

[Dorienne]

Kid: Must...not..loooooooooook...Must...not..looooooooo ook!
Mr. Cokeley: Hey kid..you doing okay?
Kid: MUST...NOT..LOOK!!!!!!
Mr. Cokeley: ....Right...*glances at Bharat* Where's the nearest psycho ward?

[Marc P.]

"So, if I mount this to the roof of my car, I can really pull people over??"

[tkwetzel]

Wayne C.: "What? We didn't get any LED's in this years kit?"
Kid in picture: "We still have this ;)!"

[tkwetzel]

Oh yeah...forgot this part: Keep it to one week if it does not impede on your schedule too much.

[Gary Dillard]

I'm for the every week thing I suppose.

<rejected entry> (you guys are probably too young to get this) No, a Bud light

<actual entry>
OK, stick a team number on 4 sides of him and let's see if we can get him to pass inspection this time.

[DCA Fan]

"Yess maaaasster......" *spoken Igor style*

[GateRunner]

"Are you kidding?! The magic Crystal ball knows and tells all! Do you doubt me!?

[Amanda Morrison]

"... So yeah, even though I got a ticket, I stole his light when he wasn't looking!"

A REAL college trophy.

[Squirrelrock]

<Igor lisp>

------------------
Go read Terry Prachet novels to get the full meaning of the joke. specifically, the one with the non-lisping Igor. :D

[Kyle Love]

"yeah, this is Hammonds light from 02...IT's GOIN' ON EBAY!!!!" :p

[Rich Wong]

*Bill, I vote for a caption contest every week if it is not to much trouble; waiting two weeks is too long (I'll go crazy)*

<Entry>
"LOOK in to the light Mr. C….

LOOK in to the light….

You will DO as I ask…

You WILL allow meeeeee to join Team 25…

You will NOT make me go for pizza and soda…

You WILL allow me to drive the BOT…

You will keep Big Mike from AWAY from me…

You will obey me ... YOU will obey....."

[VGMasterShadow]

Kid; Just because something is shiny and glows a lot doesn't mean it's edible. Now if you excuse me, I'm off on my lunch break. *chews on red light siren* What are you looking at? It's high in fiber.

[Squirrelrock]

oh yeah, once a week is better than once every other week if you can pull it off.

[Denman]

"am i as red as the light yet?!"

[Billfred]

Alright, alright, I'm judging it already. (And to whoever sent the brownies--I'm not touching them.)

By the way, congratulations to Dave Lavery for being the recipient of the...

I AM (slightly funnier than) JOHN V-NEUN AWARD

at the 2005 Kickoff. (I guess I should pat myself on the back for being able to haul a frame with glass in it from Columbia to Manchester without breaking it--and this is including using Independence Air's check-your-bag-ten-feet-from-the-plane-and-pick-it-up-there-when-you-land thing, since my bag apparently doesn't fit under their seats.)

But enough blabbering. First place goes to...

... and they told me that if I just rub the lamp long enough and REALLY, REALLY believe hard enough, then a genie will come out and grant me three wishes!

Waddaya mean this is the wrong lamp?!?!!
And second place...

weeeeell i waaaaas holding the robot up above the stage so everyone in the audience could see.....and.... well i guess i didnt have a good enough grip...but hey, the rotating light still works!
And a few honorable mentions...

Marc P.
GateRunner
Amanda Morrison
Rich Wong
VGMasterShadow

And since certain people noted that I didn't do a burn award last week (cough)dez(cough), this week I'm doing two!

"Uh-oh... maybe if I distract them with this red light, they won't realize I just farted..."
and...

"My lightbulb just clicked on! Oh sure, I had to lift it up... doesn't mean I'm slow or anything... stop looking at me like that!"
Which means the scores are...
