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

Go!

[Andrew Lawrence]

We've all watched Star Wars. The Clones kill the droids.

Better keep that little guy away from your robot! :D

[EricH]

"If we don't hit him with the robot, he'll pop the other two logos too!"
"Yeah, but wouldn't we be better off using the claw against his gun?"

[Jim Wilks]

When team 2168 was asked by their alliance asked to play defence, they interpreted the request a little differently.

[dodar]

I do believe that minibot is too big...oh and I think futuristic laser guns are illegal too.

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

Much like the British Army guarding the Queen, this young clone trooper wont be distracted by anything while guarding the... "♫WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA♫" Well, that didn't last long.

[rsisk]

In line for auditions for the role of R2D2 and C3PO.

[PAR_WIG1350]

This is not the droid you are looking for... no, really, it isn't.

{actually, given his age and the uniform (which can be used to date this picture to a long time ago and zero in on the location, which is a galaxy far,far away) it is possible that this clone, assuming no accelerated aging was used, grew up to become that storm trooper on Tatooine.}

[iPenguin]

How to avoid lane and zone violations:
Have this guy tell your robot to "move along."

[Ninja_Bait]

It's a trap! The audience can't handle a demo of this magnitude!

[IndySam]

Boba Fett Jr hopes the GDC approves carbonite to be legal to use on the robot this year.

[Taylor]

Standing by a parking meter,
When I caught a glimpse of Rita,
Filling in a ticket in her little white book.

In her cap, she looked much older
And the gun across her shoulder
Make her look a little like a milit'ry man

Lovely Rita, meter maid
May I inquire discreetly,
When are you free to take some tea with me?

[Al Skierkiewicz]

This picture was lifted from a rookie training video. The message, "how not to play defense in FRC". The threat won't hold up without the use of weapons, which are currently illegal under G43, R01, R02, R03, R05, and various sections of the inspection checklist.

[EricH]

[new entry]

Team 2168 one-ups the classic "wrap a freshman in tinfoil" trick. They should have chosen a taller freshman (hence the attempted arm extension).

[Tyler Olds]

<Announcer commercial voice> New to the Clone Army of the Republic: The F-RC 2168 builder droid. Capable of picking up objects and placing them up to 9 feet high. Comes in both tele-op and autonomous modes. Only 1337 credits. (Nubian credits not accepted on Tatooine, Jedi mind tricks not accepted).

Droids in the early Imperial Army days sure looked different.....

[Wayne Doenges]

Since the Empire is losing the war, due to attrition, the cloning facility has shortened the growing period from 2 years to 2 months. There is only one SMALL problem.

[J.Warsoff]

Military guard, FRC style.

[GaryVoshol]

The ultimate <G48-C> violation. Red Card!

[DonRotolo]

Um, yeah, 2168 plays a 'little' defense...

[Andrew Lawrence]

*Not a caption

Shouldn't this technically be CD's OFFICIAL Caption Contest? I mean, it's been around for so long, why not make it official and have Billfred run it? :confused:

[Dr Theta]

Republic Engineer: The robot is complete there's just one thing we should tell you; there is a small hole on the exterior that if you shoot into it the robot kind of explodes.
Palpatine:That sounds like a pretty big problem to me, can't you cover it up with something?
Engineer: Nah, we'll just let this guy guard it. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with that?

[EricS-Team180]

"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" - Princess Leia

(...apparently not when you're wielding a heavy blaster rifle)

[Sam Drake]

So that's what the robots do in the off season, they create humanoid robots! Wonder what their competitions are called, maybe it's that clone wars I've heard so much about :)

[rachelholladay]

You are a member of FIRST alliance and a ring-hanger. Take him away.

[Ninja_Bait]

You are a member of FIRST alliance and a ring-hanger. Take him away.

npoe: That would have been better as "blue alliance," I think.

[dlavery]

Continuing with recent practices, the GDC has merged elements of prior games into the new challenge. Taking the best of 2002 and 2011, we now present the 2012 game, "Clone Zeal"...




.

[JaneYoung]

You know you've got it made when your first tour of duty as a mini-storm trooper is to guard the FRC logo. Just don't shoot your eye out.

[akoscielski3]

Priest: "May the fourth be with you"
Catholics : "And also with you"

[Andrew Lawrence]

We all know that sometimes you need to protect your robot from people who may accidentally break it, but I think 2168 is taking it a little too far...

[O'Sancheski]

Tried launching the tubes on the rack with a storm trooper on the robot. Then realized that an elevator would be lighter and more efficient.

[Karibou]

When a blue alliance robot and a white circle love each other very much...

[Andrew Lawrence]

The new mascot took his robot guarding job a bit too seriously...

[Molten]

Who can blame him for letting the tubes get past? As Luke put it "But with the blast shield down, I can't even see! How am I supposed to fight?". If only he had the force...

[Katie_UPS]

Looks like we're a little short handed today.

[Hallry]

Mentor 1: "Wait, why is our drive coach up there? The announcer called for the fourth alliance vs. the FIFTH alliance, not the SITH alliance!"
Mentor 2: "He just loves Logomotion so much, he's a real trooper."

[DonRotolo]

Starting Thanksgiving, now it's "and also with your spirit". So much for not changing with the times:rolleyes:

[PAR_WIG1350]

Seconded

they also dropped "also" so it is now "and with your spirit".
