This team was so enthused about going to competition they showed up weeks before the event was held.
It was very lonely.

[Alex Cormier]

Announccer 1: team 369 please report to square 1. team 369 please report to square 1.

Announcer 2:team 1503 please report to square two. /wait, do we have a team 1503 yet? oh crap.

Announcer 2: team 1114 (embaraasinly) please report to square two. yeah team 1114 please report to square 2.

Announcer 1: Idiot! there is no team 1503 yet... it's 2003...

[JaneYoung]

student #1: sooooo - are you sure Dave told us to meet here?
student #2: yes - he said he didn't want to keep us in the dark any longer
student #3: this is driving me crazy - do you think he'll show up?
student #4: I haven't a clue

[cooker52]

Person#1-Can it be?!?
Person#2-I think so!
Person#3-I don't know...
Person#4-It's Winnie the Pooh!

[Greg Needel]

"Whoa! robots are moving by themselves!, this new autonomous mode is awesome. I wonder if FIRST will keep doing it?"

[GaryVoshol]

Peering into the future to see 6 keepers scored in autonomous ...

[DonRotolo]

Team 639's drive team steps onto the transporter pad....

[Nuttyman54]

Person 1:"So...umm HOW exactly did you manage to get BOTH of our OI's plugged into the same competition port?"

Person 2: "Autonomous is gonna be...interesting..."

[Mike Schroeder]

2008 End Game Bonus Points

have your Drive Team / Barber Shop Quartet sing where in the World is Carmen San Diego..... (all teams are eligible except for 1114.... sorry our insurance company wouldn't give us Singing Karthik Insurance)

[Dan Petrovic]

This team is still staring in awe at 190's hanging autonomous... several days after the event.

Security Guard: Alright guys, time to go.

...guys?

[Jeremiah Johnson]

"Quick! Come see... Dean, Dave, and Woodie are doing Karthik impressions!"

"I like Deans best... 'Tomaooaroahaahaha! Tomoaoaouraow!'"

[Taylor]

This amazing turnout made the 2003 Canadian Regional the best-attended non-hockey sporting event in Canadian history. Way to go FIRST!

[Ian Curtis]

This team is still staring in awe at 190's hanging autonomous... several days after the event.

Security Guard: Alright guys, time to go.

...guys?

Personally, I think the River Rage launch with 237 was more awesome.

Additionally, these people remind me a lot of myself when Beatty's ramp got hung up on Einstein during F1-2

[Barry Bonzack]

And this is the result when a team can't come to a consensus of what the team uniform should be.

[Travis Hoffman]

Standing in the darkness.....

Nameless Guy #1: "Uh, guys? Perhaps a showtunes montage wasn't the best idea for a Canadian Regional Talent Show act? This is the last time we take singing
lessons from Karthik!!!"

Girl: "I blame Derek's choreography tips myself...."

Anonymous Dude #2: "I think I hear crickets."

[obviously not an entry]

Really? I thought that Old Reliable Caption Theme #1 involved picking two or three from Dave, Heidi, Krispy Kremes, and Photoshop.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Reliving the years before alliances and placebo robots...In a galaxy long ago and far away, it was a lonely time for FIRSTers!

[EricS-Team180]

And in the 12th year, there was AUTONOMOUS. Time separated the GAME into two firmaments. In the first, the Stage Crew was beholden to gaze upon the FIELD in amazement while Student Programmers gnashed their teeth.

[Cynette]

Simon Says "Stand Still" and so they did.

[Wayne Doenges]

Practicing for the up and coming IRI talent show these students decided to renact the wizard scene for the Wizard of Oz.
Wizard: "Scarecrow, what is it you want?"
Scarecrow: "I would like a brain so I can figure out next years game."
Wizard: "Tin Man, what is it you want?"
Tin Man: "I would like the heart to be Gracious Professional."
Wizard: "Cowardly Lion, what do you want?"
Lion: "I would like the courage to kick Team 71's bot."
Wizard: "Dorthy, what do you seek"
Dorthy: "I would like to find a way out of this horrible play."

[BlondeNerd]

At the unveiling of the water game, these four are feeling left out, never having learned how to swim

[Danielle H]

Kid in blue: *looking at the red* Did I miss a memo here? Oh well.. nevermind. *clears throat* BEAM US UP, ANDY!

<not part of entry> Yea, I read it was the Canadian Regional, but, coming from the girl that devoted an entire poem to poking fun at Andy Baker, I just couldn't resist... the syllables fit... </not part of entry>

[KathieK]

Oh, so *that's* how they do the Charlie Brown move in the cha-cha-slide...

[skimoose]

While it's usually the drive team that forgets the robot, this is a rare photograph of a drive team having been left on the playing field by the robot. :yikes:

Don't worry the Field Reset volunteers will soon clean up this mess...
or Jess will have her clipboard out! :eek:

[Kristian Calhoun]

Extreme Drive Team Practice, Day One: Preventing Foot Faults.

Relatively inexperienced, they've yet to master the "Hawaii 5-0 surfing pose (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/28528)".

[raymaniac]

mechanic: "Why does the autonomous mode involve the robot disassembling itself and bursting into flames?"

programer: "It doesn't. Why couldn't you build the bot so it would stay together and no catch on fire?"

mechanic: "We did. This is definately a software problem."

programer: "No this is definately a hardware probem."

mechanic: "No...

This could last all day

[Tim Delles]

Drive : Thank god we aren't playing Beatty this round

**Lights go dark**

Announcer: And for the red alliance we have Team 111, Wildstang!!!

MC: Who else do we have?

Announcer: they need someone else?


******Sorry i just had to lol...******

[Rich Wong]

1 of 4: We have adapted to their new strategy.
2 of 4: Their defense is weak, they will fail.
3 of 4: Apply the final devastating blow and be begin assimilation.
4 of 4: Resistance is futile.

With their collective consciousness, Code Red successfully controlled their robot on the field with psychokinesis.

(A Trekkie fan entry)

[EddieMcD]

"What are those kids staring in awe at? Well, up on the big-screen is a rather humorous image involving Dave Lavery and Krispy Kremes (http://factorfantasy.com/thedavegallery/photos/drdave.jpg). Sources close to the scene blame Heidi and Photoshop."

<not entry>Yep... I have so much Captioner's Block right now, that I actually spent an hour searching for that site.</not entry>

[Joe G.]

Four Die-hard FIRSTers have returned to Manchester, insisting that an event WILL take place there [not part of entry] like star wars fans did for episode III at Grauman's theater. [back to entry], not relizing that all New England FIRST events now take place in the Atlantic.

[kramarczyk]

What is Baker doing to his bot? He just looked at ours, laughed, and now has two super shifters in his hands.

[Pavan Dave]

One of them quietly thinks, *Now I know why they made Karthik a judge for the talent show at IRI instead of a performer..."

[Billfred]
