The FRC equivalent to the Cone of Shame.

This is the Revenge of the programmers through the vision tracking system.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #489
 

[pretentious British accent]: And here we have the FRC programmer in its natural habitat. It somehow survives without ever coming into contact with the opposite gender. By Jove, I don't know how he does it.

How NOT to pick up girls at the robotics meeting.

His first try at a Miss Daisy Halloween costume was rather bad...

Due to budget cuts, this team was unable to create all the Logo Motion field elements.
They did have a fair amount of freshman students.
As you can see, the drive team became quite good at placing the game pieces.

If only we could get the robot to put some safety glasses on him...

He says he's trying to make the code compile faster, but there's no code to compile.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #489
 

And the programming team is just barely staying afloat...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #489
 

He wanted to see if pyramid power would work, but the closest thing he could find was a triangle.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #489
 

After all of his years of being on a robotics team, he has tried to make a statement to his non-FIRST friends. His statement is that just because he is on a robotics team, that doesn't mean he is a square. This is his final attempt, and this time, he really means it.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #489
 

Forget the programming team trying to stay afloat. What is the drive team doing, trying to elevate a piece of plywood using flappy pieces of tape on motors?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #489
 

Like Wetzel, Robert was somewhat...er..."accident" prone. yeah, that's it. So we figured out a way to keep him from cracking his head open. Again.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #489
 

FIRST finally gave us a water game. But with a twist! They didn't want to use robots for fear of a short circuit, so instead they had each team build a human! This is 2518's first prototype. Unfortunately they need to work on where to place the water float tube.

When encountering a particularly difficult robot problem, it's important to approach it from multiple perspectives. Think about it from the angle of a machinist, from the angle of a design engineer, from the angle of a programmer, from the angle of an electrician, from the angle of the driver, from the angle of the operator, from the angle of the coach. But perhaps the most important angle to take in solving a problem is the try-angle.

After almost 4 hours of straight programming, we had to find a way to occupy their time....

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #489
 

Triangles are red,
Squares are blue.
Put one on your head,
And everyone will look at you.

This is what happens when you question a team member's archery skills, and you can't find any apples laying around.
