It seems like Stephanies (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=647142&postcount=699) birthday cake was so good that the field resetrors took it as a ringer. A few seconds later, the number 8 middle spider leg looks like someone 8 years old bday cake.

Once again, MIT shows that it's often beneficial to look to the heavens.

This is why some teams don't post anything about their robots on CD during build: even jokes (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51620) may inspire some crazy team out there.

The element of surprise: opponent drive team suspects nothing, seconds before the fiendish autonomous levitating ringer descends ...
EricH
22-10-2007, 00:17
Drive coach: No, you DON'T get points for scoring a ringer on the pole that is helping get power to the rack!

Hapless rookie human player: What about the raised basketball hoop?

Coach: We are NOT playing basketball here!

Player:...Oh....
Wayne Doenges
22-10-2007, 07:14
Person in charge of filling ringers: "Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to fill the ringers with helium."

The little blue tube that could:

I want to be like the Goodyear Blimp.
It starts here!

Team 1980 Drive Captain: "It was here a minute ago."

MIT player: "The anti gravity ray is working!"

ABHABAHAHAHAHAHAH ... srsly, lol.







and for my caption:

"The human player didnt know that getting a ringer on the referee doesnt count"

Combining Aim High with Rack-n-Roll: Try having your human player shoot a ringer around a basketball net.
BlondeNerd
22-10-2007, 15:09
Team 1980: "So THAT'S what the big "DO NOT PRESS" button does..."
raymaniac
22-10-2007, 20:32
moments earlier...
team 1980 driver: our robot is so awesome it can shoot a ringer through that basketball hoop
MIT kid: prove it
team 1980 driver (thinking) : so this is why mom told me not to taunt the other teams
Zyik
22-10-2007, 20:37
Teen from MIT: I don't think your robot is supposed to through ringers back at you.

1980: Blast.

So this is why we shouldn't use the "FIRST is like Basketball" speech.

When all else failed, team 1980 activated plan beta:

Launch the heat-seaking ringer and stare inconspicuously at the controller board.

(Unfortunately, they neglected to test plan beta during practice, leading to general disarray.)

...in my thoughts I have seen
rings of blue,
lights of green,
and the voices of those who stand looking...
KathieK

In an off-season twist to last year's game, Duel organizers decided to let Human Players hang from the rafters and try and drop ringers onto the rack...
Schnabel

OH NOES! THE GHOST TUBE HAS COME FROM THE GRAVEYARD!!
Al Skierkiewicz
25-10-2007, 19:11
Incoming!!!!! Does this qualify as friendly fire no matter who threw it!?!?!
Barry Bonzack
25-10-2007, 21:22
of all of the cartoonish sound bytes that come with the FIRST field, unfortunately no one has thought to add the "whistling falling object" sound effect.

"Oh great, another flying saucer. Hey buddy, this is a no-probing zone! Try over by the football field!"
kramarczyk
28-10-2007, 11:08
What do you mean that the fuel cell pilot teams filled the ringers with hydrogen?!? Oh, the humanity!
Rich Wong
28-10-2007, 12:25
Ha ha….. someone filled the RacknRoll inner-tubes with helium!
Does anyone have their Aim-High robot with them?
skimoose
28-10-2007, 14:30
Alright, who brought their Aim High robot to a Rack N Roll event! :rolleyes:
DonRotolo

"Um, I don't think 1266 is here... Oh. Ow. "

Without Wayne Doenges' 6,734 points, the scores almost look respectable....
He's been going all New England Patriots on us.
