As always, the deadline is sorta kinda nominally possibly Saturday at midnight Eastern. I will be at IRI doing scoring, which means two things:
a) You can submit your entry in person if I'm not working (writing it down strongly encouraged), and
b) My ability to judge this week's contest on Sunday has more variables than usual, including (but not limited to) how late I wake up, wifi availability at the Super 8, where my girlfriend and I pull off for lunch, how exhausted I am when I get back into Columbia that evening some 750 miles later, and the alignment of Dave's other cars relative to the moon.
Go!

The scores after the last round:
[code]lingomaniac88 14
Akash Rastogi 13
Travis Hoffman 13
(see my exact spreadsheet here)
Not an entry: Billfred, your spreadsheet shows Akash as having 15 (win/HM/BA) yet he is listed as 13 above, second place. Oh, and good luck on the Condo. Ahh, home ownership, I encourage it - because misery loves company....:p

OK, here is the entry for this week:
(To the tune of "sometimes when we touch" by Dan Hill, as sung by Rod Stewart):
And sometimes when we touch
the CIMs they're hot too much
And I just can't get that battery to charge.
I gotta drive it 'til it dies
When we win we'll scream on high
I can't believe it,
we came in first at I R I
Jubilant celebration ensued among non-winners of the kiss the pig contest.

After I posted the results, it was brought to my attention that the burn award was omitted. I meant to give it to Akash, but I thought I'd already added it to the post and blindly administered a singleton. The number is correct.

As one of those non-winners: You have no idea.
A couple more weeks of practice and they will have the Heimlich procedure nailed.

So much for being at the top of the list. Oh well... easy come, easy go.
Last year, the IRI coordinators decided to experiment with a new playing surface: lava. After hearing numerous horrible screams (such as those seen here) and seeing permanent skin damage, they knew that it was the worst idea they ever had.
I'LL SAVE YOU!!!!!!!!!

Cheech and Chong were both ecstatic when they received their bronze participation medals for the three-legged race at the Conjoined Twin Olympics.

After running onto the field to celebrate these two are seen helping each other off after stubbing their toes on a moon rock.

Guy on Left: "WE WON THE CHEECH AND CHONG LOOK-A-LIKE CONTEST!!!!"
Guy on Right: "Wait a minute. We weren't entered into the contest."
"I'll let go if you'll let go."
"You let go first!"
"No you let go first!"
"Say Uncle!"
"UNCLE!!!"

... and here we have a fine example of why FIRSTers don't make it on to "Dancing with the stars"
Photo Caption: “Photo taken shortly after an announcement that the Mountain Dew cooler has been.................restocked.”
These two young geeks have obviously decided that they want to be like Quirrel and Voldy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3c9K6MKCIs&feature=PlayList&p=C76BE906C9D83A3A&index=4).
I don't think it's working out too well. Anyone got some superglue, or a bit of soul to bind them together?
I do hope you've at least read Harry potter...and if you've never seen it, I recommend watching AVPM (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=C76BE906C9D83A3A), which is by far the funniest spoof I've seen in ages

Real men of genius...
We salute you Mr Competitive Robot Builder.
For you robots aren't just a weekend activity, they're an all the time activity... unless the boss is watching. (quick hide that CD screen)
People may call you a geek, and while they are right, you are too busy to notice because there is gearing to be calculated. (whoaaa... punch in those numbers)
You're not too 'chicken' to admit that your new manipulator now looks a lot like one you saw at the last event. (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery)
And you do it all for this... a shot at the title of IRI Champion.
We salute you Mr Competitive Robot Builder. (Mr Competitive Robot Builder)

I don't see my score!?!
Fixed on my spreadsheet (and above). I blame it being 11:00 at night and already losing my post once.
(and after all the mild heckling at IRI to get Heidi back into the contest...)
