As always, the deadline is nominally Saturday at midnight Eastern. Not as always, I'll be at Midknight Mayhem this Saturday and you can submit your answer in person!

(Worth noting that I'll be taking Amtrak to and from, and there's no reliable Wi-Fi on most of the route home Sunday. So at least my excuse this week is better than usual!)

Go!

JVN wishes his presence had the effect his cutout does.

Man, Flat Stanley is having a much different effect on the youth than he did 50 years ago.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #520

Just what is the exchange rate between US Motivator and Canadian Motivator?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #520

Great product! Is it dishwasher safe?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #520

For this Grant spent so many years getting a degree and working internships?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #520

They first tried with Andy Baker, but the kids worked so fast they couldn't get good video coverage.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #520

Upcoming products from Robowranglers Industries:
Having trouble finding that out-of-the-way offseason event (I'm looking at you WIWI)? Use the Neunvagation GPS device!

Need that little extra ummph in your robot's operation? Try the Kan-Of-Gas-abapathy battery booster!

Can't seem to keep track of your tapgrease or cutting fluid? Cop-oil-i takes care of all your lubrication needs!

Buy the complete package - you get to name the price - just list your favorite team number and throw in a few zeroes after it. (But each part number still starts with 217.)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #520

JVN just wishes he was that thin. And light. And effective.

[NPOE: Wow, a whole year gone by already? Time flies.[/NPOE]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #520

If the 2D motivator is starting to wear thin, then consider moving up next to the ultimate upgrade -- the full color 3D motivator. So lifelike that students might think it is be real. And it talks, although non FIRST folks might not understand it. Available for only $148 per hour, but truly priceless!!!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #520

In my defense, I haven't been back in South Carolina for 24 hours yet. :P

Thank you to everyone in the academy. It was a difficult climb, but a rewarding one. Thanks to Bill for giving me the opportunity and Jane for lending her distinguished name to this award. It will go right on the shelf with my Emmy and Big Chief Rain in the Face (hint: I was a Boy Scout leader for many years) awards.
