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

Go!

[EricH]

Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I'll fly over and try to spy on 1114, 71, 111, and 217! Just don't shoot me!

[bobwrit]

Team 1985 terrorizes the neighbors.

[ATannahill]

TURN OFF THE COMPRESSOR!!! *BOOM*, thats why you don't use PVC as tanks, at least you were wearing safety glasses.

[DonRotolo]

OK, I'm back in!

Here we see Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad) latest Weapon of Mass Destruction, a trailer-mounted Surface-to Air Missle (SAM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)) bank designed to lure in and be be particularly effective against Blackhawks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackhawk_helicopter). This is but one example of Iran's usage of Nuclear Materials for peaceful purposes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_program_of_Iran).


.

[Taylor]

If T-shirt cannons are outlawed, then only outlaws will have T-shirt cannons.

[Travis Hoffman]

"I can no longer reconcile my organic features with my soulless robotic implants.....GOODBYE, CRUEL WORLD!" said the avian cyborg shortly before jumping into the path of a four-barrel 50/50 blend fusillade of death.

[Mr. Pockets]

The evil genius, Lord Hawkenstein, perches triumphantly beside his diabolic doomsday device oblivious to the fact that the only available ammunition are propaganda T-shirts. Stupid budget cuts >.<

[Akash Rastogi]

ROBOHAWKS!!! HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[npoe] you youngins better watch Thundercats [npoe]

[Wayne Doenges]

Robohawk: (in Elmer Fudd voice) "Be very, very quiet, I'm hunting robots.
There's one now!!! FIRE!!!."
*ATM machine blows up*
Robohawk: "Why do they make those things so robot-like?"

[Daniel_LaFleur]

The Robohawks demonstrate North Koreas next generation missile defense system.

[lingomaniac88]

Team 1985 will not be participating in future years as per a mandate issued by the ASPCA. Apparently, it's considered bad taste to shoot things at large birds.

[Barry Bonzack]

"Oh really, darling, again? You know this is why the Homeowners Association kicked us out of Pleasantville."

[Steve W]

Look, up in the sky. It's a bird, it's a plane, nooo... it's Super Dave Lavery!!!

[rsisk]

And they were worried about the North Korea missile launch?!? Bah, wait till they get a hold of this (cue: snidely whiplash sneer)

[Rich Wong]

RoboHawk, "Faster! More balloons, we need more balloons!!!

We must get enough left to fly "UP" and rescue those two lost T-shirts!"
:)

[JaneYoung]

Robohawk, practicing in operatic voice:

MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEE

*pop* *pop* *popopopopopopopopopop* ... *pop*
(sounds of the balloons in response to the high note)

*KA-BOOOOOM!* - tee-shirt launcher

Windows shatter in surrounding homes & vehicles due to the high note and the flying tee-shirts.

Robohawk: Ok, I'm ready for the big number, let's get this show on the road.

Sounds of sirens wailing in the distance, growing closer...

Teammate: This is a failure to launch if I ever saw one.

[Chris is me]

Team 1985, working off of an early game hint, prepares for the 2010 game Duck Hunt.

[Karibou]

Mentor: "Gather around kids, it's story time!"
Students: "...*slowly shuffle into room and sit on carpet squres*"
The mentor began reading.
"Thunderhawk heard a boom, and he knew it was to late. Soon he was flying through the streets, being propelled by a cheap cotton t-shirt. 'I've been hit...' he moaned, crashing into a tree. The impact of him hitting the tree shook down leaves, squirrels, and acorns. A squirrel fell on him, claws landing squarely on his eye, and he shrieked in pain ::ouch:: . 'WHY DIDN'T I WEAR MY SAFETY GLASSES????' he cried, slumping over, eyes rolling back into his head. 'Goodbye, world...stay safe' he warned. Ever since the Thunderhawk incident, safety glasses have been mandatory for everyone in the pits and on the field, and at events involving moving parts, such as parades. You can thank him for your eyesight."
Mentor: "So, what's the moral of this story?"
Kid: "You're not allowed to tell stories any more; that's the moral. C'mon guys, let's go do something fun...you know, we kind of have a robot to build."

Thirty minutes later, the mentor entered the shop. Sure enough, every single kid was wearing their safety glasses. A student came up to him, looking perplexed.
Student: "So, where are YOUR safety glasses?"

::safety::

I think this is the only serious entry I've actually done this year. :ahh:

[DonRotolo]

I think this is the only serious entry I've actually done this year.
(Not an entry: )
...and it's a good one, too!

[GaryVoshol]

Team member decorating float grumbles, "We're never going to be able to convert this shooter into a trackball launcher."

Bird: "Be positive! That trackball will fly up into the air, as if it had wings like me!"

Team member: "Ha, those wings? You can't fly either."

[Anna B.]

Don't use the mascot for target practice! It's the last one we have!

[AndyB]

A legend in many people's eyes, the Man-Bear-Hawk was photographed doing it's native dance: The hawky-pawky.

Jane, eat your heart out.

[ExarKun666]

Robot's Microprocessor thoughts: "Must load 40 inch trackball into cannon to kill the enemy hawk!"

[Al Skierkiewicz]

I thought RoboHawks were an endangered species. Wait till the DNR sees this picture. Tshirts won't be the only things that are flying!

[JaneYoung]

Jane, eat your heart out.

AndyB, it made me snort.

[Joe G.]

Bird: FIRE!
T-shirts: Boom
Robot, to kid: For the 500th time, WHY AM I NOT A LAUNCHER

[Billfred]

And you thought it couldn't be done. :)

First place goes to:

A legend in many people's eyes, the Man-Bear-Hawk was photographed doing it's native dance: The hawky-pawky.

Second place goes to:
