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

Go!

[Joe G.]

How to capture elusive game pieces when wall-mart fails.

[EricH]

When you said we were going fishing, I thought we were going out to the creek for trout!

[ATannahill]

Come on Dave throw a hint over here.

[dodar]

I never knew team 272 was entered in a Quidditch league

[GaryVoshol]

Little did they know, the handles to their light and net would be confiscated by the GDC to use as "pokey-pokey" sticks to unclog the upper goal auto counter.

[lingomaniac88]

At a Philadelphia Regional planning committee:

Treasurer: "Listen, we're losing money, so we need to make some cutbacks. Why construct a full-size FRC field for over $10,000 when we can just use a net and light on a stick for $49.99?"

[Mr. Pockets]

Team 272 finally perfected their Aim High bot in 2009, regrettably three years too late for the Atlanta Championships.
Moral of the story: Build seasons come and go, but procrastination is forever.

[rsisk]

Behind the scenes of the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

[AndyB]

The net approach worked fine until they started testing their trackball mechanism... We're gonna need a new mentor too.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

I know, I know!!! It's the IRI Mentor's Challenge!

[Taylor]

I can't think of a good caption. This is merely to gain my 1 pity point Billfred bestows upon us noncreative folks. Hooray for participation! (I haven't decided if I want a medal or a pin.)

[ATannahill]

npoe: This was a hard one.

[GaryVoshol]

I can't think of a good caption. This is merely to gain my 1 pity point ...
[not an entry]Once or twice I've gained lots of points by coming up with some throw-away line just to get my participation point, and Billfred somehow thinks it was profound or hilarious or something ...[/not an entry]

[delsaner]

It appears that the robot's vision camera accidentally locked on to the bright green net instead of the bright green light. Oh well, whatever works...
;)

[bobwrit]

272 finaly solves the balls being shot into their pit problem

*5 seconds later a member of miss daisy is captured in the net*

[DonRotolo]

The "men in white coats" showing their FRC-themed disguise shortly before Billfred was captured.

[Katie_UPS]

272 starts to train their robot to take down the enemy. MOE is nowhere in sight.

[Wayne Doenges]

Team 272 couldn't afford a full Aim High playing field. Here we see them calibrating there shooter with a green light, on a stick and a fishing net.. At the regional they discovered to late that the student was holding the light 5' above where it should have been.

[JaneYoung]

Welllllll...
We got yur high-tech gizmos
Then we got yur medium high-tech stuff
Then we got yur low-tech do-it-yourself mess

And then -

we got - this -

Now I ask you, where is the dang fish here? What kind of water game is this, anyhoo?

[Travis Hoffman]

On April 4th, 2006, a 78 year-old Ash Ketchum finally caught them all (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbhbLrSQKyY).

[Ryan Simpson]

Yeah, but if it can't dunk nobody's gonna watch it, like the WNBA.

[NorviewsVeteran]

Once all the stores that carried Poof balls ran out, teams sent members to get them the old fashioned way: catch them mid flight in their natural habitat, the pits.
Elite teams had been doing this from the beginning anyway- they're fresher that way so they fly better.

[Karibou]

"Hurry up, my arms are getting tired!"

<npoe>failcaption; I too just want my pity point</npoe>

[Chris is me]

"I've got a Poof!"

"Is it cheesy?"

(npoe see above)
