And this week's picture:

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pictures.php?action=single&picid=6844

As always, the deadline is Saturday at midnight.

Go!

[Michelle Celio]

" CANT REACH BALL, MUST REACH BALL...OH NO!! ROBOTS!"

[Koko Ed]

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/pics/bin/107897726958.jpg
Once you pop you can't you can't you can't stop!

[Arefin Bari]

Rudolph: I like them balls.

1083's robot: I like them better ::takes it away::

[Ian Curtis]

A young man on his fourth and final trial of reaching FIRST enlightenment (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32705&highlight=PVC), as defined by Bill Beatty in his bestseller, The Makings of the Beast.

[Bill_Hancoc]

AHHHHHH!!! Must fire powerfull anti-black hole purple ball from hand before i get sucked into a black hole which is mysterioulsy coated in diamond plate, hmmmm?

[KenWittlief]

[sigh!] seems like every other episode these days they find some reason to have one of the crew crawling through a Jefferies tube!

[artdutra04]

Sung to ACDC: "I've got big balls, you've got big balls..."

[KenWittlief]

the teams robot had an incredibly life-like aggressive humanoid appearance

but unfortunately it had a nasty tendency to break the plane of the ball corral!

(that and the code frequently locked up with the bots jaws open)

TAKE TWO:

you havent played "Hungry Hungry Hippos until...."

[DCA Fan]

Gotta catch 'em all.

[Bcahn836]

"just 5 more points, i am sooo close. but yet so far."

[killerofkiller]

After hearing that the lotto powerball numbers where 5-5-5-5-5 for the 6th consecutive week, Andrew decided to take matters into his own hands and change the numbers to "15"

[Goober!!!]

"OK i have 4 balls, now what is the number after 4???" :D :D :D

[Jay H 237]

1083's hunch that Andrew couldn't read was confirmed when they asked him to get the number "2" ball and he came back with the number "5" ball.

[Andrew Blair]

Andrew's adventure as the Crocodile Dundee's apprentice ended suddenly one day when confronting a wild 5 point ball. The resulting massacre was too horrible display publicly.

[Joe Matt]

NO! Leave me! Save you and the other balls! I was one of the ones who survived VCU, it's my time to go!

[Travis Hoffman]

Smeagol (http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&id=1804738130&cf=pg&photoid=553691&intl=us) (before his greed for purple playground balls corrupted his body and soul): I must have my........my Precious!

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/new_line_cinema/the_lord_of_the_rings__the_return_of_the_king/andy_serkis/extended1.jpghttp://www.chiefdelphi.com/pics/bin/107897726958.jpg

[Wayne Doenges]

In another exciting episode of Fear Factor (TM) this contestant is attempting to crawl across sandpaper and through a guillotine while fending off attacks from cleverly disguised purple urchins.

[EricH]

Andrew: I...can't...reach!

His Coach (behind the diamond plate somewhere):You get 1 buck times the number on the ball for each one you bring back!

Ref:*starts throwing penalty flags, runs out of them, and calls for more from the other refs*

Andrew:*thinks* There has got to be a better way to do this.

[Andrew Blair]

The "Andrew In The Box" never really got the sales expected when it was developed as a toddlers "Learn and Grow" toy. Wonder why.

[EricS-Team180]

Unbeknownst to many in the FIRST community, so-called "celebrities" have been quietly supporting the organization. Here we see Alice Cooper volunteering at a recent competition.

[lukevanoort]

"Ben, Ben."
strange music starts

<!-- if you got that, then good for you, you aren't a pawn of the new Star Wars --!>

[Dorienne]

Rudolph: PENALTY?!?!? I WAS HARDLY IN THE GOAL!
Referee: *Shows the picture*
Rudolph: Oh...Um...Okay, good call, Ref.

[MissInformation]

For the 2006 game teams were told they must gather and contain the round purple spheres before they hatched and *shudder* THIS came out!

[Al Skierkiewicz]

"Ay, Capatin! I am trying as hard as a can." You need to give me just a little more time."
"We have no more time, Scottie! You need to turn on the cloaking device now! The Martians are coming in for the kill!"

[KenWittlief]

When dodge balls have nightmares

[Kyle Love]

Ref: *throws flag* YOU BROKE THE PLANE!!!!
Rudolph:"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH I CAN REACH IT!!!! I SEE THE LIGHT!!!!"

[RoboMom]

After 8 hours working at the local regional, this FIRST volunteer realizes that he should have checked “team queuing” instead of “field reset” when signing up in the VIMS.

[Gary Dillard]

While Nexium ("the little purple pill") proved quite effective for treatment of heartburn and acid reflux, AstraZeneca's development of a similar drug "Five - The Really Big Purple Pill" was halted when clinical trials at the University of Central Florida revealed some peculiar side effects.

[EddieMcD]

"What do you mean there's a ball worth twice as much? I've never seen use of such a thing!"

[EricH]

Here we see a FIRSTER attempting to collect his Christmas ornaments that fell off the tree before a robot steals them.

[KathieK]

Upon seeing the kickballs, all those years of suppressing his feelings at losing at dodgeball suddenly came to the surface...

[Rich Wong]

Rejected 2004 FIRST Frenzy game idea #13:

The robot must collect the 5-point balls thought the ball-slot with the aid of the human player while holding his or her ankles up.

[dlavery]

and now we know what happens when Weird Al Yankovich sings Jimi Hendrix (and please don't tell me that I am the only one that sees the resemblance!) :

Purple Maze (sung to the tune of Purple Haze)

Purple maze all in my brain
Lately things just don’t look the same
I want more balls, but I don’t know why
’scuse me but I gotta try
Purple maze all around
I’m on the floor crawlin’ all around
Is that one over there I see?
Balls in a purple maze, runnin’ all over me
Right-left! Left-right! Oh, no, no

Purple maze before my eyes, uhh
Don’t know if I go left or right
It’s got me confused, blowin’ my mind
Did I get all the balls, or is there more time?
Ooo
Help me
Balls, in a, purple maze, yeah
Right, left, right…
Oh, help me!
Purple maze, I see, balls, near me
Can I get one more like this?
Purple maze
It’s makin’ me look like a fool...mama
Purple maze, n-no, nooo

Purple maze, ow! It’s painful, baby!

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/pics/bin/107897726958.jpg

[Billfred]

Well, I guess I shouldn't let you folks wait much longer.

First place goes to:

Rudolph: PENALTY?!?!? I WAS HARDLY IN THE GOAL!
Referee: *Shows the picture*
Rudolph: Oh...Um...Okay, good call, Ref.

(Of course, we all know that Andrew wouldn't do that (http://www.firstwiki.org/Gracious_Professionalism).)

Second place goes to:

Rudolph: I like them balls.

1083's robot: I like them better ::takes it away::

(It's a lot funnier when you've seen 1083's robot (http://www.firstrobotics.uwaterloo.ca/resources/galleries/rollers/rollers20.jpg) from 2004.)

As for honorable mentions....eh, it's Christmas. Twos for everybody!

Of course, we still have to have a burn award...

"What do you mean there's a ball worth twice as much? I've never seen use of such a thing!"
