And the picture, in honor of their Chairman's win (and general butt-kicking on Newton):

As always, the deadline is Saturday at midnight EDT.

Go!

"Thank you folks. Thank you. You're a great crowd. I just flew in from Atlanta and boy are my arms tired"
silence
"I said: boy are my arms tired!
more silence
"Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?"

[anna~marie]

yes, this year the real challenge is who can do the best robot dance... see, this is the *correct* arm positioning...

[Cody Carey]

*ahem*

To quote Professor Small,
"I don't want to be a rock and roll star,
I just want to be a robot."

[Jay Trzaskos]

"Welcome Ladies and Gentleman, to 'How to beat Beatty 101' thank you for joining us."

[Bill_Hancoc]

"Does anybody else get this because i sure dont"
no realitu implied

[JaneYoung]

Ok - give me 3 good reasons why this won't work.
And remember, I have the red marker.
*Space Jam music in the background*

[Lil' Lavery]

Raul often imitates crabs in order to help his students understand a "crab drive"

[irishninja]

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands...

[Danielle H]

...And I said, "Hey, that's no moose, that's my mother."
*Silence*
Tough crowd...

[Taylor]

"No, really, man, I'm with the band. See my pass? Yeah, I'm one of those backstage dudes that tours with the band, whaddya call it, a toadie? I got a pass. C'mon, man, just let Ozzy Kamen sign one thing? Please? For my dying nephew? Who happens to have the same name as me?"

[Goober!!!]

"OK see that tank"
"I SAY NO MORE TANK DRIVE!!!"
"Say YEAH!!! for CRAB DRIVE!!! :D :D :D "

[lukevanoort]

Alright then we deal with the frictional resistance to the chain angling system by the 1.9 μ tires, this is important to an absolute vectoring, toroidal CVT'd, PID controlled, omnidirectional swerve "crab" drive... hey you! Yeah, you sleepy guy, c'mon, wake up... hey, WHAT ARE YOU DOING! C'mon people... what even V-Neun's asleep.... ooh.... they'll pay... go spidey web!

//not part of the entry Look at Rauls left hand...

[Freddy Schurr]

Yeah, this is what we have to do to win the Chairman's Award!

[Jacqui]

"Eh..where am I, and why am I here?"
-cricket cricket-

[spears312]

And thats how you make an injection molded poof ball

[skimoose]

...And now with a wave of my magic marker, er wand, I'll make this crab drive appear before your very eyes.

Who needs a six week build season. :p

[Travis Hoffman]

The calm before the storm. Soon after this was taken, the Wildstang crew was subjected to the most excruciating form of entertainment this side of Karthik singing karaoke. It went a litle something like this....

Ah, push it
Ah, push it (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43060&highlight=Wildstang)
Oooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Oooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43060&highlight=Wildstang)

Get up on this! (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43060&highlight=Wildstang)

Ow! Baby!
Salt and Pepa's here! (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43060&highlight=Wildstang)

Now wait a minute, y'all
This dance ain't for everybody
Only the sexy people
So all you fly [female parental units], get on out there and dance
Dance, I said! (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43060&highlight=Wildstang)

Raul..........Bad Dancer.

[EricH]

Raul:"All right you students, who can tell me what the force equations are for a crab drive?"
*dead silence*
Raul:"Come on you guys, we can't spend six weeks just figuring out our drivetrain."
Student: "Oh yes we can, and it'll win Championships, too!"

[Mike Soukup]

"Welcome Ladies and Gentleman, to 'How to beat Beatty 101' thank you for joining us."
Funny you should say that. That's actually how many of our strategy discussions start. You've gotta figure out how to beat the best in order to win.

[Rich Kressly]

Alright, enough about the robot. The sweater. I need to know if you like the sweater...

[Rick TYler]

"... and, in conclusion, you can see that I not only am an expert at mechanical engineering, I have this cool belt-mounted cell phone, a lanyard with my picture ID on it, and my OWN red dry mark pen. This is why you should hire me to be your lead drivetrain mentor. Thank you, and I welcome any questions."

[Wayne Doenges]

"OK, we have studied the physics of the crab drive, the power of the crab drive and how we are going to build it. I have just one question. Do you think I'm sexy?"

[MissInformation]

"I'm telling you guys, he was this big... this big!"

And the rest of Wildstang groaned as Raul once again interrupted another important design session to tell his 'fish that got away story'.

[Daniel Brim]

When asked what his favorite dance was, Raul emphatically responded "The Hokey Pokey" and demonstrated putting both arms in.

[Conor Ryan]

....so then I said to the guy, change the back up battery on the controller, and it worked. *much laughter follows*

[Al Skierkiewicz]

"Can anybody tell me why we should use our super secret Wildstang crab drive when we have Wildstang patented BUPOD wheels with the new and improved extra sticky wheels coupled to Andymark transmissions and two Chalupas on each side, with my newly designed pneumatic shifter that recirculates the air so we don't need a compressor? Anybody? Cmon people, you must have a good reason why you want crab. Ok you freshmen kid in the back, what do you think?"
"Because crab is cool baby!"
Raul to self..'Boy is this going to be a long season!'

[nehalita]

Look, 3 reasons you should do a crab drive.
1. Crabs are cool.
2. I have the marker.
3. I can't draw so if you say yes now, I'll stop

[Alex Cormier]

Do ya get it yet!?

[Rich Wong]

Raul: "Guys, guys, you are not listening to me.
If you have not caught on to what drive design I want by now, we will all continue this conversation right after lunch.

By the way folks, the lunch menu is CRAB bisque soup, with CRAB cakes and CRAB salad.
Enjoy."

[EddieMcD]

Braaaiiiinnnsss... I need braaaiiiinnnsss!!!

[Billfred]

Is it bad that summer vacation has made me lose track of time entirely? (don't answer that.)

First place goes to:

Raul:"All right you students, who can tell me what the force equations are for a crab drive?"
*dead silence*
Raul:"Come on you guys, we can't spend six weeks just figuring out our drivetrain."
Student: "Oh yes we can, and it'll win Championships, too!"

Second place goes to:

The calm before the storm. Soon after this was taken, the Wildstang crew was subjected to the most excruciating form of entertainment this side of Karthik singing karaoke. It went a litle something like this....

Ah, push it
Ah, push it
Oooh, baby, baby

Raul..........Bad Dancer.(link removed for the sanity of all concerned ;))

(Oddly enough, if you look at the results from the Newton semifinals, it turns out that Beatty did not, in fact, kick WildStang's butts.)
