[Bcahn836]

"ok who took all the Bawls and Red Bull? you can't have build season without Bawls and Red Bull"

[Greg Needel]

5 mins after kickoff team 587 was already caffeinated enough to go 6 weeks without sleep.

[Taylor]

Back in olden times, when a young man and lady got married, the dowry often included livestock and farmland. In this photograph, Josh displays the dowry for a FIRST mentor's daughter.
My, how the times have changed.

[GaryVoshol]

"We put the Dew on the bottom of the stack in hopes of making it last longer. Hasn't worked yet."

<not part of entry> Jeez, the 4th reply to the contest and I'm already no better than 4th place. You guys are all too good. </not part of entry>

[Dave Scheck]

I dare you to drink all this and then sit on that record player on the second shelf while we douse you in water and throw unpopped popcorn kernels at you.

[JaneYoung]

Part of Josh's recruiting tour/hard sell:

Here you see the stash closet -
the place to be -
golden oldies while you

snack
relax
rethink
rewind
replenish -

Hey, when you join, we could use some more Dew and some Rolling Stones.
Rock on! See you soon. Peace out.

[Hiteak]

As you can see, our team barely has enough supplies for half the students for one week. Thats we we need you donations today! Call now at 1-800-FEED-587 and you can help a starving team member today.

[Dorienne]

Kid in picture: This is where the food and drinks are stored for an emergency robotics meeting. We meet here when a possible snowstorm breaks out and our robot is still in shambles.


(DISCLAIMER: I am not trying to offend or make assumptions about the team. It's just a caption.)

[EricH]

Looks like it's movie night for 587. The only thing lacking is the movie. Oh well, they built a robot instead.

[DonRotolo]

Josh proudly displays the hitherto well-kept secret to 587's success... Caffeine, sugar, and Orville's!

..and I'm 10th and in 10th or 11th place.... Yeah Gary, I know the feeling...

Don

[Joe G.]

587 has finished modifying their crate for the first public demonstration of the unconfirmed "ship the freshmen" approach to finishing the robot by week 1.

[Wayne Doenges]

This picture was taken 5 seconds before josh announced to the team "Free Food and Drink!" What we can't show is the stampede that resulted.
Josh is recovering nicely and will be on his feet in a week or two.

[kramarczyk]

Inspired by recent movie offerings, 587 has designed a robot that transforms to resemble an pile of refreshments when other teams are scouting their pit.

Update: 587 had a pile of refreshments confiscated from their pit for violating the "no food or drinks in the pit" rule.

[Pavan Dave]

"The team is out and I'm tired...what a great way to relax with my secret stash..."

[BlondeNerd]

"I threw away that pile of useless parts and filled the space with something much more useful...Wha-? That pile of useless parts was our robot?!?! ooops..."

[Greg Needel]

<new entry>

Old mother Hubbard with a robot twist.

Team member josh,
still tasting mouthwash.
went to get some food.
But when he got there
The cupboard was bare
and so poor josh got none.

In search of a dew.
The quest continued
Until the box was found.
He cracked open a can
then was jumped on the spot
so the can fell from his hand

And onto the floor
by the shop door,
making a big puddle.
A mentor slips
but all is normal
10 days till the robot ships.

[Andy Baker]

For just $4.50 per day, you can sponsor a needy roboticist with the bare essentials. Please give.

[skimoose]

Has your team ever left packing to the freshmen?

You get to your first Regional, open the shipping crate, ......

and THIS is what you find! :eek:

Ummmm, I thought you packed the robot....

Robot, what's a robot....

[EddieMcD]

"Here we have Billfred's personal food storage. Since it can often take him days to judge a caption contest and he doesn't want to get up for anything, Billfred keeps all the standard rations within five feet of his computer."

[Travis Hoffman]

Josh the Genie grants 3 wishes to a 587 team mentor:

Mentor: "MUAHAHAHAHAHAaaaaaaaaaaa I now wield the ultimate power!!!!! The world is mine!!!!!!! Now, for my first wish, I desire a clunky old 5.25" floppy drive."

*POOF*

Genie Josh: "Your wish is granted. It now sits on the top shelf."

Mentor: *taps fingers together* "Exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcellent, Smith(ers). For my second wish, I desire a bunch of junk food to motivate my robot-building slaves.......er, students!!!"

*SHAZAM*

Genie Josh: "Your wish is granted. They will all do your bidding for a taste of this caffeinated, sugary goodness."

Mentor: "AHAHAHAHAHAHAaaaaaaaaa no one in the world shall oppose me! For my final wish, I desire you to stop wasting time granting wishes and go help the others build the robot. *whispers* And oh yeah, get a haircut while you're at it."

*ALACAZAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*

Genie Josh: "Thank you, Master, for freeing me from this awful burden! I will go help the build team now. *checks mirror on the way* Wait, you made me get a haircut too? You tricked me, evil one. Nooooooooo!!!!!!!"

Mentor: "ULTIMATE POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!"

[Dan Petrovic]

"...but where are the Krispy Kremes?"

"I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you."

[cooker52]

This was the last photo ever taken of Team 587's food stash. By the end of the night, it was never to be seen again.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Really people, this is not how we mentor new teams. What about tools, wire, white boards, engineers and teachers?!? OK so this will get them through kickoff but what then?

[lukevanoort]

Josh: Look at all these drinks... so good, so tempting, but, but but, must not drink.
Disembodied Voice: Drink...
Josh: *drinks Dew* Yum, delicious. Thank you, Lord for allowing me to satiate mine thirst with this soda.
Disembodied Voice: Lord? What are you talking about? I'm the air conditioner repairman
Josh: What???? No!!!!! *Disappears with a flash and hint of brimstone"

<Not an entry>To get this you have to know that Josh's religion forbids caffeinated drinks</not an entry>

[Otaku]

"This picture was taken before Kickoff. Since then, the only thing remaining of 587's food stash is the Diet Pepsi."

[EricS-Team180]

<NotAnEntry ...entered in BillFred's "kinda sorta" time frame :D /NotAnEntry>

<entry
Bottom shelf is for the build and chairmans teams, top for software and controls. Second is for animation and third is Mentors. They bring in these vinyl thinngies the night before ship and play them on that old turntable
\entry>

<NotAnEntry that turntable looks old enough to have played my Iron Butterfly LP /NotAnEntry>
