As always, the deadline is Saturday at midnight.

Go!

[Arefin Bari]

A member of Pike Robodevils is trying to get that "fan" off of the hook.

Guy who is taking the picture: dude... pefect shot, hold it right there.

Guy who has the girl on his shoulder: Ya dude... take a picture, this is my ONLY proof that girls like to be on my shoulders. woooooooo.

[Bcahn836]

Girl reaching- " My mommy told me i can do anything i set my mind to."
Guy holding her up- " Not without a ladder and a miracle."

[Jay H 237]

You know, if they only allowed one more motor in the KOP we wouldn't have to boost someone up there every few minutes to start it spinning again.

[Koko Ed]

How many FIRST students does it take to put a part on the robot?
More than there should be.

[Alex Cormier]

i i i i ca ca cantttt g g get iiiit. gah

[KenWittlief]

"lets have a live bat for a mascot this year! it will be fun, it will be unique.... I KNEW this would happen!"

[Ian Curtis]

Here we see 1018's robot which was designed to have a purpose when the season ends. See it's so tall and powerful we figure that if we get someone to hug Big Mike then we can lift him up and say that "Our Robot Bearhugged Big Mike!"



Hey is that a propellor? Billfred are you part of the GDC?

[EricH]

OK, guys, stop putting the lift higher on me...I caan't reeeaaach that high...you're about to go through the ceiling...
::CRASH THUD::
*screams* owowowow, I told you you were too high!!!!!

[Bill_Hancoc]

1 of 2
If I could just reach my fingers into the sharp spinning thing...

2 of 2
Seriously guys do you really have to keep putting my cell phone up there...it isnt funny anymore!

[Conor Ryan]

Girl: ...Bright..*reach*..Light...*Reach*

Guy in Background: Kids now adays are too easily amused.

[DCA Fan]

And here we see team 1018 doing their best "Heidi gets a boost from Brandon Martus" impression.

[kjhobin]

Girl to guy under her: Why did you have to take my fan and why did our last battery have to die?!?!
Guy: Because i love you
Girl: *SLAP*

[Billfred]

Hey is that a propellor? Billfred are you part of the GDC?

<obviously not an entry>

Nope, I have nothing to do with the game design committee, other than posting in those threads. I get tormented by Dave just as much as anybody...well, except Heidi. I imagine that between proximity and her hobbies, she gets a little more tormenting from Dave.

</obvious non-entry>

[dlavery]

Guy: Tell me why we are doing this again?
Girl: Because Billfred dropped a hint about making a robot that can change lightbulbs. I figured that we should take the hint, since he is on the GDC and he should know.

[Rich Wong]

Guy:
"Rachel, next year can we just have a piñata for your birthday party game?"

[Billfred]

Guy: Tell me why we are doing this again?
Girl: Because Billfred dropped a hint about making a robot that can change lightbulbs. I figured that we should take the hint, since he is on the GDC and he should know.
<obviously not an entry> One side of me wants to be especially freaked out at this entry. Another side wants to think this is a conspiracy by Dave to make everyone else get -infinity in this contest, as that perpetual hounding about the upcoming game would obviously violate The OTHER Heidi Foster Rule.

Another side, however, thinks Dave is being serious, and I'm on the Game Design Committee without even knowing it. If that's the case, someone please catch me up to speed--my email is leveretw at the domain of mailbox dot sc dot edu

[Andy Baker]

This is the last picture taken of the assaulted student from Pike High School, before Casey Kasem (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0440487/) burst into the room, screaming "how dare you ignore my command!!".


Andy B.

[Wayne Doenges]

Team 1018's new robot uses a clock work mechanism but it always seems to fail when the arm is fully raised. This makes the wind-up key very hard to get to.

[Goober!!!]

Girl: ok if we can be HP i think we can reach it with a tetra and we can just easily drop the tetra on a goal!!!
Guy: that sounds like a good idea but we need a long coat so that we can look as one!!! :D :D :D

[Elgin Clock]

Here we see further proof that household robots are becoming more and more practical and more widely available to consumers.
This model shown, the XMAS-1018 is designed to put that pesky hard to reach star and/or angel on your tree during the holiday season.

[artdutra04]

Girl: I can almost reach it... Just a little further... A tad bit more... I'm sooo close...

Guy in back [to himself]: This is fun. Maybe I should continue to 'accidentially' nudge the "up" button. :p

[Travis Hoffman]

1018's '05 robot was rather reluctant to give up its end effector for use as a propeller on the team's entry in the 2006 water-based competition.

[MissInformation]

Guy: I know there's a thread somewhere on Chief Delphi that says this is the proper way to pick up a girl at a robotics event.

<not an entry> Billfred, if by tormenting you mean Dave sticking his tongue out at someone (http://www.factorfantasy.com/Photos/again.jpg) then yes, I've been tormented a lot. (I can't believe I forgot to post that picture on line!) <not an entry>

[tiffany34990]

Girl: it's just soo pretty i must find a way to touch...

Guy: geez why am i doing this... i rather be home playing on my computer not being a chair...

[Dorienne]

Guy: ...I don't...think..we can possibly...make a...totem pole as...tall as...the robot...GAH YOU'RE HEAVY!

Girl: YOU THINK I'M FAT?!?!

Guy: ....

Person on the side: *whispers* SAY NO! She may not torture you if you do...

[shyra1353]

wow im so glad i joined robotics ..

[Squirrelrock]

Team's mentor in back: now, if you spin the propellor to the left, it will come down, and if you spin it right, it goes up.

*girl on shoulders reaches the propellor and spins it*

Mentor: NO! Wrong...

*arm goes throught the faux ceiling and hits the real one*

...way. Here we go again.

[Gary Dillard]

/[not part of entry] update on the "Gary Dillard rule, Wilma edition" - still no power (or internet) at home, but I've got it here at work. I lost some roof tiles and had some big gashes in the plywood protecting my windows, had to wait in line 2 hours for gas this morning, but of course my biggest concern was that I wouldn't be able to get an entry into the caption contest this week. /[not part of entry]

We dedicate this competition to the memory of Rachel, who made the ultimate sacrifice by flinging herself on top of our driver to protect him from the robot when it went crazy during developmental testing.

[EddieMcD]

"What do you mean it's manually operated?!?"

[Billfred]

Still waiting on that email, Dave. :P

This is the last picture taken of the assaulted student from Pike High School, before Casey Kasem burst into the room, screaming "how dare you ignore my command!!".
