As always, the deadline is theoretically sorta kinda possibly roughly Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

Red Guy: You wish your robot could walk on 2 feet
Green Guy: Why didnt we think of that?!?

[Taylor]

2007 Paul: I love it here in Michigan, but with these Midwest summers, I feel like I don't get enough use out of these pool toys. Seems so wasteful. Maybe I should find a job down south somewhere...

[ATannahill]

Ken: You know, I don't like the control system. I don't like to carpeted field. I don't like when my opponent triples my score.
Paul: I'll suggest something to Dave, but you'll have to wait until 2009. I've been told the 2008 is already planned.

[rsisk]

Just another day at the Used Game Elements store.

[Travis Hoffman]

Ken: "Hey Paul - just look at all these red and blue ringers next to each other. This reminds me of my favorite color - purple. I sure do like purple."

Paul (distracted by a stray aluminum rivet on the floor): "Why don't you marry it, then......ooooh, a shiny!!!!!"

[DonRotolo]

Paul: Of course, these haven't been glazed yet - we'll do that when the HOT (http://www.thebluealliance.net/tbatv/team.php?team=0067) sign lights up.
Ken: I hope Dave brings some Jimmies...

[GaryVoshol]

Paul: This game is so fun. I wish we could play about a dozen times per event.

Ken: Yeah, and price the events 2-for-1 too.

Paul: You may be on to something. I'll call Gail and Walt. Do you have Francois' phone number?

Karthik (off photo): Hey guys, can I play too?

Paul and Ken: NO!

[Wayne Doenges]

Ken to Paul: "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Paul: "I think so, but where are we going to get 2000 rivets?"
Ken: "Maybe we could get some from Team 1501."

[npoe *shameless plug* npoe]

[jmanela]

Hmmm... Now ken, do you think these would work as bumpers?

[lingomaniac88]

Ken: You take the blue ringer - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want it to believe. You take the red ringer - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Paul: Yay! Donuts! *starts eating the pool tubes*

Five minutes later...

Paul: Man, I don't feel so good...

Ken: That's because you're an idiot.

[delsaner]

Green Guy: After-season pool party?

Red Guy: ...OOOOHH YEEEEAAAAHH...

[Katie_UPS]

Paul: Uhhg!

[EricH]

Paul: Now, Ken, let me get this straight. YOU were the one who suggested a water-slide game to the GDC, right? And then it snowed at the events back home, so we had an ice slide instead of a waterslide, right?

Ken: That's what happened.

Paul: So YOU get to tell the kids that all that training went for nothing and we can't do anything because both of our robots flipped over on entry to the pool, riiiight?

Ken: *gulp*

[JaneYoung]

True heroes have a way of:
- adapting
- rising above seemingly insurmountable obstacles
- crossing the road to the other side if it means helping others
- being willing to stand as role models of integrity and intelligence in times where few are willing to or who have the credentials to
- keeping it real.

True Hall Of Famers.

[Ryan Simpson]

Spoiler Alert!

[Mr. Pockets]

Ken: "You know something, this stack would look cool with a massive ball on top of it. Like a giant baby-rattle."

Paul: "You're talking nonsense, Ken. What does a huge ball have to do with FRC."

(one year later at kick-off)

Announcer: "...the game pieces will be massive track balls."

Ken and Paul simultaneously: ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

[Karibou]

Paul: "You know, Ken, I always thought of these game pieces as giant Gummy Lifesavers. I always got really hungry during team practices"

Ken: "Oh, me too, but I never got hungry during our practices. With a team of hungry dog-- I mean, students with power tools, we didn't see much of the game pieces for a lot of the season."

[kramarczyk]

Paul: ...but I want to play on Einstein again. *sniff*

Ken: Man, you went all the way last year. Most people never get that far. I doubt that I'll ever have a chance at another World Championship and you might have to get used to that idea too. Unless you think you're better than Beatty or something.

Paul: ***SIGH*** You're right. It's all about inspiring people anyway, isn't it.

Ken: Absolutely. You rock!

Paul: This mentoring stuff never stops for you, does it?

Ken: Nope.

Paul: It's no wonder they call you Captain America!

[Billfred]
