Official: "No way. YOU tell that thing it failed inspection!"

[Akash Rastogi]

Announcer- "NEXT TIME!...on When Good Robots Go Bad...."

[Mike Schroeder]

*Use the force Luke* WHAT forget the force I need a lightsaber or rocket launcher

[EricH]

Team 100 unveils their original concept for the 2008 game. It was rejected because it couldn't fit in the crate. To this day, students are trying to figure out a way to fit it...

[not a caption] As kind of a publicity stunt for robotics, some of us went around the school setting this (and the caption) to the backgrounds of hundreds of school computers. Some teachers were annoyed, others REALLY pissed, and some thought it was amusing :D

good times...




Just wait till you see the '09 Bot (http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2008/09/05/pkg.uk.spider.art.itn).

[Wayne Doenges]

All your Trackballs belong to me.

[JaneYoung]

Bystander: Is it me or does the role of the human player seem a little smaller this year?

[GaryVoshol]

"I wish my Kung Fu Master had given me advice for this!"

[cue flashback]"Grasshopper - RUN!"

[ATannahill]

Dean's new endeavor for the United States military is not going as well as tjhe prosthetic arm

[Lions for First]

in tonights game of robot VS human basketball who will prevail?

[tim_reiher]

In a world where hurdling robots have mysteriously grown larger than life, with deadly claws and non-COTS components, only one man can stand up to the threat, and take Earth back for the humans.

This......... is the story of that man.

[Travis Hoffman]

Since the dawn of man, martial artists have sought to master fighting styles that seamlessly blend the attributes of strength, power, quickness, grace, and speed. You've heard them all. The Tiger. The Crane. The Mantis. Now witness.......The Nerd.

[Karibou]

"STOP! I need a human minute"
Robot stops moving. Kid pulls out safety glasses and puts them on.
"Ok, I'm' ready. BRING IT, FIERCE AND ALMIGHTY ROBOT!"

<npoe>Hmm...this is a fail-tastic entry. Oh well, I need to get back to my homework. :(
Props to the first person who gets the "human minute" reference. </npoe>

[Wayne Doenges]

Never play Keep Away with a robot. You can't win.

[Elgin Clock]

"If you can dodge a trackball being thrown at you by a huge robot, well then, you can certainly dodge a ball!" :cool:

His training is nearing completion.

[Rich Wong]

Head Inspector: “Next year we definitely have to check for the illegal use of robot steroids.”

[DonRotolo]

[Dateline 100/01/11111100100]As with Archduke Ferdinand, the Robot Wars started innocently enough...

[lingomaniac88]

This student has a lifelong ambition to win a Darwin Award, and I think trying to recreate Super Smash Bros. Brawl by fighting against this opponent will surely earn him one.

[acdcfan259]

"Somebody get water!!! That'll kill... crap that's the aliens."

[Joe G.]

After the removal of <G36>

"One rule down, 170 to go!"

[Carlee10]

Although he was trying with all of his strength to "protect" the others from the "evil" robot, nobody had the heart to tell him that it's just a display, and to not play so many video games.

[kramarczyk]

Here we are on the set of "Jurassic Park 12 - Origins of the Matrix".

After using robots to create a safer park envirionment we discover that AI has advanced to the point that the machines have logically determined that they are smarter than the human race. The machines come to this conclusion after learning who won the presidential election.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Here we see a demonstration of the "Magic of Television" as a miniature model is blown up to larger than life size and taunts people at a family outing. Amazing how a painted ping pong ball can be made to look exactly like an Over Drive game piece.

[EricS-Team180]

...due to a drastic error in scaling by the cad crew, team 100's robotic nose hair tweezers - while great for hurdling - were judged to be in need of some miniaturization.

[EricH]

[new entry] After taking on all of team 100, including the hat, and winning, their robot went after Billfred. The result? A new variation of the BIWWTM Rule, known as the BIABAR (Billfred Is Attacked By A Robot) Rule, which covers robot attacks, as well as work. It is immediately invoked.

[Billfred]

Okay, okay, I'm on it. No robot attacks, just the attack of $4.09 gasoline. (No, I don't like Ike either.)

First place goes to:
