As always, the deadline is theoretically Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

[ATannahill]

Team 229 designed a bot that was so good at autonomous that it graduated Valedictorian of the 2008 class. It is surround by its chain greaser and paint manager.

[EricH]

These three graduates of Clarkson show the tremendous caliber of its students. Two of them built and programmed the third, which went on to finish college faster than either of them did. For that matter, it graduated with a Ph.D in mathematics. The other two only have their Bachelor's degrees.

[Akash Rastogi]

[not an entry] $@#$@#$@#$@#....that is a beautiful robot...:ahh: Wish I was around in 06 to see our alliance in action on Newton =( [/not an entry]

[Taylor]

This marks the first time that a robot delivered the commencement address. It was also the first time each graduate received his/her diploma via T-shirt cannon shot.

[GaryVoshol]

2G/0=∞I

Two graduates, divided by zero, equals infinite inspiriation.

[DonRotolo]

Team 229 designed a bot that was so good at autonomous that it graduated Valedictorian of the 2008 class. It is surround by its chain greaser and paint manager.
[Not an entry]I just can't compete with that level of genuis[/no_entry]

[Wayne Doenges]

Here we see Chris, Paul and Adrienne in there graduation picture. Paul was unable to make it so they substituted their robot. No one seemed to notice.

[Akash Rastogi]

The students that graduate from 229 are incredibly lucky, they start off with great engineering minds, and get to graduate alongside their babies.

[Barry Bonzack]

So which one Aimed Highest?

[Anna B.]

Looks like someone (read: robot) forgot their cap and gown

[SlaminSwimster]

Quote from the valedictorian speech- "My wissh for you is that life becomes all the you want it to. May your gears stay greased and your chains never break. May your robot always stay within the weight limit and may your zipties never come apart. Mostly may your wheels always turn and your programs always function."

Non FIRST members at the commencement had difficulty not only understanding why a robot was giving their graduation address, but how zipties applied to graduation.

[JaneYoung]

Dean's Homework submitted by 229:

To a degree, division by zero is not an irrational concept to understand or implement. Numbers of students and mentors have proven this, running circles around their competitors- heels or no.

[Travis Hoffman]

Adrienne, whispering to robot....

"PSST! A little to the left.....No, your other left, genius. Chris' head is THAT way! OK perfect....now get ready to fire....this'll be great - he'll never see it coming....OK hit it.....c'mon let 'em fly! NO?!? What do you mean "No"?!? Some Irrational robot you are. You're a disgrace to your name!"

[Karibou]

In order to receive a cap and gown, the principal decided that seniors had to prove that division by zero was possible. These two took on the challenge, but in a different sense. Needless to say, the principal was impressed by their solution to the problem, and gave them the caps and gowns because he admired their hard work.

[kramarczyk]

Here we see antagonists from The Who's latest rock opera, "Copioli and the CAD Chamber of Secrets". The show features their new hit, "Poof Ball Wizard". Shown are the characters of Robomort (center) and the dementors.

[Joe G.]

How something so irrational graduated is unknown.

[Diriye]

FIRST Disclaimer:

WARNING! Side effects of participating in FIRST may include, but are not limited to, nausea, depression, anxiety attacks, unintentional euphoria, a desire to find the last digit of irrational numbers, heartburn, and morphing into a robot capable of launching poof balls with respectable aim.

[DonRotolo]

Here we see two graduating seniors flanking a freshman team member.
(Heh. And you thought we recruited new members...)

Couldn't resist:D

[Steve W]

"When you said that you would get wheels for our graduation, I was thinking of a limo"

[Billfred]
