As always, the deadline is (kinda sorta not really) Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

[EricH]

*before the picture*
Hapless rookie: "When I presented my idea, I didn't expect a sort of Spanish Inquisition."

*loud noise*
"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!! Our chief weapons are fear and surprise! You are arrested for thinking outside the box! How do you plead?"

Now-terrified rookie: "Umm... innocent!"

"Ha! Ha! We shall soon change your mind about that! Cardinal, the Tetra! Now, how do you plead?"

Rookie: "Innocent! I was thinking outside the tetra!"

(with apologies to Monty Python)

[lingomaniac88]

In Soviet Russia, tetra grabs YOU!!

[ATannahill]

Can't we think of a better way for the human player to get the tetra to the robot?

[JaneYoung]

Student:
Hm, wonder if I'm in too deep to just walk away...what do you think?

[Akash Rastogi]

News Reporter:

"...but luckily, this season FIRST reported only 259 robot related injuries...and a very rare case of a Tetraphobic breakdown"

(Yes I know what tetraphobia really is)

[skimoose]

My God! It's the Hunchback of Tetra Dame. :rolleyes:

or it could be another FIRST Great Movie Re-enactment with the student as Igor (Eye Gor) and the Mentor as Dr. Frankenstein

Mentor, "You know I'm a rather gifted surgeon. Perhaps I can help you with that hump."

Student, "What Hump?"

-Young Frankenstein :p

[GaryVoshol]

This year's unofficial game hint: "FIRST freshman hurling through tetra."

[Lions for First]

all your base are belonging to the tetra

[Taylor]

Pictured: the mascot for Team 3121: The Marionettes

[Wayne Doenges]

Mentor: "You will stay in that position until you can tell me the difference between a tetra and a trackball."

[Karibou]

This is what happens to programmers when the robot doesn't work properly.


<kinda sorta not part of entry>
Programmer (in tetra): "But it's a mechanical problem, I swear!"
Team member from the mechanical team: "RIGHT, just blame it on us, why don't you. EVERYONE knows that the code is where it all comes down. You're supposed to account for whatever errors that we make, so therefore it's you're fault."
Programmer: "But--"
Mechanical team member: *raises tetra higher*
Programmer: "OK OK OK, IT'S MY FAULT!"
Mechanical team member: *lowers tetra to the ground*
*programmer falls out of tetra*
</ksnpoe>

<really npoe>
No offense was meant towards programmers in this caption. I just needed someone to put in the tetra xD I was GOING to have a rookie be in there (AS. A. JOKE.), but I'm afraid that one would see it and be scared off xD ;) </npoe>

[Joe G.]

Late in the build season, this overworked team member tragically mistook a tetra for a mountain dew bottle. Fortunately, however, this bizarre exoskeleton will serve as a great roll cage for next year's game's human player, should FIRST take the racing game of last year to a new level...

[Elgin Clock]

<semi inside joke based on a true story, but still an entry>

That's your punishment for leaving the dump valve open on your drive system & losing us that all important 3rd finals match at the NJ Regional that year Mike!!
Muwhahahahaha!!!!

Now you have to explain yourself to the Tetra, & it's not as forgiving as I was!!!!
:p


</semi inside joke based on a true story, but still an entry>

[Al Skierkiewicz]

This is a scene from backstage at the WTWF World Tetra Wrestling Federation as participants practice some of their techiniques for caoches. Here you see the dreaded tetra full nelson being applied. Just out of camera range another tetra performs a full body slam.

[EricS-Team180]

uses for old robots:

Team 303 debuts their "wedgie jig"

[DonRotolo]

Team 303's 2005 robot with it's battery removed.

[cobrawanabe1699]

The doctor didn't tell me the backbrace was this big! CURSE YOU, SKOLIOSIS!!!

[SlaminSwimster]

So in theory when we attach the rope from the pulley to the top of the tetra and yank he should fly like Peter Pan right???

[Katie_UPS]

Its like 3-D Twister!

[kramarczyk]

I've heard of people getting writer's block before, but programmer's tetra is just ridiculous.

[Carlee10]

After getting extremely fed up with the freshman, team 303's vetran members put oneparticularly nasty freshman in their patented "nerd headlock" technique via tetra til he could list Dean Kamens inventions in chronolgical order. The most amazing thing is, it actually worked!!!!!

[Travis Hoffman]

A 2009 FRC control system beta tester decides to tackle something far less painful.

[Billfred]

Sorry, folks, but today was spent celebrating my mother's (coughhackwheeze)th birthday. Maintaining good family relationships counts as work, which totally counts as grounds to invoke the Billfred Is Working Way Too Much Rule. Done tomorrow, I swear!

[Taylor]

This fellow leaped out of Mrs. Billfred's birthday cake. BIWWTM even more than we thought. Luckily, Mrs. Billfred is getting used to this kind of thing.

[Rich Wong]

Sorry, folks, but today was spent celebrating my mother's (coughhackwheeze)th birthday. Maintaining good family relationships counts as work, which totally counts as grounds to invoke the Billfred Is Working Way Too Much Rule. Done tomorrow, I swear!


Happy Birthday!
Maybe she can be guest judge for CD's UCC #220?
:)
(obviously not an entry)

[DonRotolo]

Lessee now, you're about 22, so she must be.... about 39, right?

Today was tomorrow yesterday, so maybe today's tomorrow's day after yesterday will have to do instead. Got that?

Don
