Yep, it's me again.

(Here's a hint--don't close the window of your picture, then copy your scores over. This contest would've had five extra minutes if it weren't for that.)

Ah well...as always, Midnight Saturday. (I feel like I should give richardp the Price Is Right Award for coming the closest to the deadline without going over. Seriously, go look--it was exactly midnight on Saturday.)

Go!

entry 1:
Where is the basketball?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #34
 

Team 237 cheering: Think you can play basketball, try to dunk over our robot. ya... what what what what ... thats what we thought.

In an attempt to teach Elgin how to play basketball, team 237's drivers bust out the moves. In the end, Elgin was a lost cause, but team 237 got some valuble practice in.

The robot was big,
The robot was bad,
It made all others jealous
It made all others mad

The robot was challenged to dunk
And we wished it the best of luck
The robot surely did it
But now it's just stuck....

After taking on the top teams in the world of FIRST Robotics Team 237 thought it would be a great idea to challenge the local high school basketball team. WoW look at that hang time :ahh: :ahh: :ahh:

"In your face Shaq O'Neil!"

(no hasketball was damage in this demo) ;)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #34
 

What happens when "Guido", Team 237's well-meaning but colorblind and shape-recognition-challenged autonomous robot programmer, mistakenly calibrates his robot's vision camera to track orange circles instead of yellow triangles? You get this result. Now that's some relentless programming!

Guido now makes $10,000,000 a year building robot player replacements for the NBA. See if you ever make fun of another colorblind person again! HA!

Team 237 celebrated wildly as their robot had dunked in the winning shot but did not notice that the basket was waved off and the team was called for a technical foul because the robot was hanging on the rim.

Team mentor: "I'm not mad, I'm just amazed how you got it up there with the arm fully extended..."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #34
 

Announcer: Wow, not only did that robot slam dunk it, but it gave 50 extra points to their alliance! Sheesh, Bob, I can't believe it...this robot knows how to score and score well!

Hmmmm, I wonder if I'm exempt since I was there and took part in said photo. ;)


<now for my entry>

Having realized the arm 237 designed was somewhat weak the braintrust (ie. engineers) of 237 decided to have it do 100 pull-ups everyday for a week to strengthen those arm cylinders.

Slap the backboard like Shaq 'cause I dunk off the pass. --Zebrahead.

"Man, we really need a shot clock..."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #34
 

Shortly thereafter, Ron Artest threw a fit, a fan threw a beverage, and Team 237 was forced to leave the court with a towel over their electronics panel.

I still blame Detroit.
