And the picture:

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

Go!

[EricH]

One way to make sure that your filing crew does a good job is to remind them that their final check is to do this all over the robot, and the entire group will be held liable for any cuts suffered.

[Andrew Lawrence]

The right of passage on 384 seemed pretty simple (kiss the robot), until the cRIO lit up and the motors started spinning...

[Molten]

This was the first iteration of Lisa from Weird Science. Just remember the tagline, "If you can't get a date, make one!"

[Ninja_Bait]

It's a classic scene from "A Build Season Story". Triple-dog-dared by the mentors to kiss the robot, these students ended up stuck and miserable.

Later they asked if they could build a t-shirt cannon. They were told they would shoot their eyes out.

[Taylor]

The robot is usually yellow, but, well ... it's blushing.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

This isn't one of those northern climate "lick the light pole in the middle of winter" things is it?

[rsisk]

Monkey see, monkey do

[Jim Wilks]

Given that the robot had just been brought in from an open trailer in the middle of a frigid winter, the kiss lasted very much longer than anticipated. Eventually all team members were detached from the robot. Several were overheard mumbling "what were we thinking?"

[JaneYoung]

Some teams get more attached to their robot than others.

[GaryVoshol]

Should that be

Aaaaaawwwww ...

or

Eeewww

Yes, I know I'm repeating myself from the picture's thread. But I thought it was good then, and maybe Billfred will think it's good now.

[EricS-Team180]

Mentor to mentor: "I KNEW letting them melt Skittles to paint the robot was a bad idea!"

[kramarczyk]

Student #1:
I'll be right with you. I'm just going to tighten up this last screw.

There, nice and tight and... hey my hair is caught. HELP!

Student #2:
No problem, let me just get in here where I can see.
Oww... my hair is caught too. HEY!

Student #3:
No problem, let me just get in here where I can see.
Oww... my hair is caught too. HEY!

Student #4:
No problem, let me just get in here where I can see.
Oww... my hair is caught too. HEY!

Student #5:
No problem, let me just get in here where I can see.
Oww... my hair is caught too. HEY!

Student #6:
No problem, let me just get in here where I can see.
Oww... my hair is caught too. HEY!

Student #1:
Is there anyone still out there? I can hear the shutter sound on your phone. *whimper*

[Katie_UPS]

They were actually all looking for a fallen master link.

[dodar]

You kiss a frog? I though you said that kissing 384's robot would bring back prince charming...

[Frenchie461]

Too bad it isn't Frog Force, that would be too ironic.

[J.Warsoff]

When cannibalism just isn't enough...

[S.P.A.M.er 17]

I've heard of little girls practice kissing with their stuffed animals before, but this is a bit extreme....

[Cody Burd]

" i kissed a robot and i liked it"

[akoscielski3]

It was a programming problem...again

[rachelholladay]

Female recruitment has been down this year..

[Wayne Doenges]

When Willy Wonka sponsors the robot
Student 1: "Hey this frame taste like Strawberries."
Student 2: "This motor taste like Snozberries."
Student 3: "What's a Snozberry?"
Student 2: "I don't kniow but it taste great."
Student 4: "This chain taste like EEEwwwwww, axle grease."

[iPenguin]

Well as we know, robots are unable to show love, so 384 wanted to teach their robot personally.

[PAR_WIG1350]

This may look like nothing more than a silly tradition, but the reality is, the robot has become sentient, if they stop, the robot will feel betrayed. I imagine the end result would be something like Portal 2, but without all the awesomeness.

[Karibou]

Student, to robot: "Awww, you have a boo-boo? Let me kiss it to make it bette- Oh, you have a lot of boo-boos?"

*motions and calls over to team* "Hey guys, the robot needs to be healed for the next match; help me out!"

[DonRotolo]

The major downside to building an all-Cheetos robot is that it never lasts until Competition.

How exactly do the Cheesy Poofs do it year after year?

[IndySam]

no I said kiss my &#$!

[Bill_B]

Six rookies on the team, but one of them isn't buying the tradition of robot-kissing as explained by the veterans. To conceal his doubt, he's kissing his elbow instead.

[Billfred]

It's still Sunday!

First place goes to:

Student, to robot: "Awww, you have a boo-boo? Let me kiss it to make it bette- Oh, you have a lot of boo-boos?"
