(and yes, I have a backup of it in case the server goes down)

As always, the deadline is Saturday at midnight EDT, unless you're lucky and slide one in before I judge it.

Go!

[Koko Ed]

"Why didn't anybody warn me that team 195 was out on the field practicing and getting ready to dump?"

[Cody Carey]

This is the reason team socials aren't held in Chuck E. Cheeses anymore, This is also the reason than nobody over 12 is allowed into the place without a child.

[Arefin Bari]

Mary: So, whose idea was this? ::giggles::

Arefin: Billlllllfred's =), he wrote about it in the new game rule book... shove the human player into the corner goal.

[Dan Petrovic]

"Here is what the refs do to you if you cross the line in autonomous."

[Jay H 237]

"Talk about a needle in a haystack, now if I can only find that 1/4-20 bolt that fell off our arm!"

[JaneYoung]

Ohm - I am in touch with my inner poof ball.
I feel -
colorful
bouncy
- stuck - Ohmmm

[Freddy Schurr]

" I didn't know that Team 1902 could load all those balls at once"

[Andrew Blair]

Gotta hand it to the Mafia.. they keep things fresh and original...

[Hiteak]

Tonight on CBS: When Poof Balls Attack!

Warning: These images should not be for those who can not stand colorful balls

[Danielle H]

"And we all thought it was funny to watch Tank (of team 393) eat the poof balls. The robot decided to not only eat a member, but then dump her in the goal as if she were just another ball.

I just wish I would've been there to see her try to fit through the gears..."

[Steve W]

The automated scoring system from FIRST still has glitches. Exhausted ball counter really dives into their work of counting 1 point balls. It seems that even they are getting a little "behind" in their work.

[Kyle A]

This pit of poof balls brings me back to my childhood............................, besides they won't let me in the ball pits anymore, I always get kicked out!!!!!!

[KarenH]

"Where did that ping-pong ball go? I know it's in here somewhere!"

[anna~marie]

that was a very nice place to take naps!!

[LordTalps]

BREAKING NEWS: Massive balls in Burger King ball-pit trap children for hours.

Burger King was trying out new, larger balls in their ball pits for children in hopes to attract more away from its rival, McDonalds. Their strategy has utterly failed, as 14 children became stuck under the balls due to a cave-in. McDonalds stock reports a $1.35 gain in the last day.

Dunno if that's too long, if it is, just do the bold part as my entry :D

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Another burned out student goes out with the other trash! When will this senseless waste end?!?!?!?!?

[Josh Goodman]

It turns out that in order to find the volume of an object, poof balls are a no go!

[Wayne Doenges]

I a hurry to get to the next regional, the FIRST crew quickly packed up the Poof balls. Little did they know that they had crated one of there own.
She was later found, unharmed, after they dumped the balls. She had survived by eating some of the Poof balls. Whan asked about her ordeal she was quoted as saying " The Poof balls aren't very tasty but they are filling."

[Taylor]

Everybody thought SuperGirl was a goner when her phone booth fell over and was filled with kryptonite poof balls. But thanks to her safety glasses, her X-ray vision was intact, and the Invisible Man (off-camera, I think--?) came to her rescue. The Green Lantern wasn't far away, but it was the final period and couldn't leave his post.

[nehalita]

-"What? No, we tested... that's a poof ball too. It's squishable, compressible, and fits in easily."
-"...but it has safety glasses on. What poof ball wears safety glasses?!"
-"Oh, now poof balls can't EVEN wear safety glasses? Look at it. Safety glasses or not, it belongs. You know it."

[Cynette]

Her psychiatrist said total immersion was the only way to treat her acute phobia to poof balls...I think it's working - look at the smile - no wait! I think she's cracking!

[Dylan]

Ref: Hey, you guys know the rules! Only one human player allowed, and if you try to sneak another one in again I'll disqualify you!

[Michelle Celio]

Every year a handful of kids get stuck in crane machines.

I guess the teenagers wanted their shot at it (just on a slightly larger scale)...

[Dorienne]

Girl: Ugh, why did I listen to that kid when he told me he lost his operator's badge?! Now I'm stuck here. Can someone help me here? Please? Kid, come oooooon! YOU NEED MEEEEEEE!!!!

(Man I am not funny.)

[EddieMcD]

Kid in box-like goal: "Why couldn't the Billfred Effect (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?p=518343#post518343) happen this week?!?"

Box Ghost: "BEWARE!"

[skimoose]

Could be one of two problems:

1. Star Wars flashback.... R2 turn off the poof ball compactors on the red alliance NOW! :ahh:

2. Old School Star Trek flashback.... Where did all these tribles come from! :D

[Alex Cormier]

Head Ref - "what are you doing?"
girl - "i'm making sure i can see all of them and get the correct number"

[Lil' Lavery]

[not an entry]This one will be short and sweet [/not an entry]

Woops...

;)

[EricS-Team180]

...after a wildly successful "dumper demo", the F.I.R.S.T. game committee was, initially, enthusiastic about the additional MARS's game piece. It was, however, dropped after a rather "scary" shooter episode...

[thegathering]

*evil grin* one extra point during autonomous.... *evil grin*

[Dan Zollman]

Come on in, the poof balls are great!

[GaryVoshol]

Help, I've fallen and I can't get up. Hmm, maybe if I gnaw on these poofballs ...

[Rich Wong]

After working all night to assemble the modified Mission Mayhem field inside, Mary need a nap to recharge herself. But where can she find a cozy, cushiony, comfortable and dry bed in this place?

[DanDon]

You can stop dumping the balls now, you've already buried the scoring system.

[lukevanoort]

Many at the IRI talent show were trying to come up with brilliant ideas and the like. However, this girl was the only person who manage to create something good in time. Afterwards many were hitting their heads wishing they had thought of using the poofs as sound dampening.

[MissInformation]

In Russia the Poof Ball throws you.

[KathieK]

Hee, hee, this is a perfect hiding place for our team's annual Hide and Go Seek game. They'll never see me in here!

[Cuog]

"Damaged equipment only"

"All others will be damaged"

[Billfred]

Hey, it's still Sunday! (Pardon the late posting; it's move-in weekend here at USC, and I've been working like a crazy person.)

First place goes to:

After working all night to assemble the modified Mission Mayhem field inside, Mary need a nap to recharge herself. But where can she find a cozy, cushiony, comfortable and dry bed in this place?
Dave, are you taking notes here? Couches make for good goals on the field. ;)

Second place goes to:

You can stop dumping the balls now, you've already buried the scoring system.

Arefin: Billlllllfred's =), he wrote about it in the new game rule book... shove the human player into the corner goal.
(Actually, my big contribution was pelting mercilessly anyone who "graciously accepted.")
