In any event, here's the picture:

And, build season or no build season, the deadline is Saturday at midnight.

Go!

Yes, that's right dear, pilot a former robot of the soon to be 2006 National Chairman's award winning team, scoring Ian Curtis of the Chiefdephi forums massive points in the pre-kickoff FF league, and making him the evil empire of FIRST v2!

Entry 1:
Girl: "Mommy, why are all those people running away?"

Entry 2:
Girl: "What does this button do?
Mommy: "NO! Don't touch tha...."
The sound of an explosion is heard and it starts raining robot parts.

Entry 3:
Girl: "Mommy, why can't I have and XBox like the other kids"
Mommy: "Because we can't afford it. You're lucky they let us play with their 1999 robot"

Entry 4:
Girl: "If Force equal Mass time Acceleration than I should be able to take this 120 pound robot up to 20 miles per hour and totally run it through that plate glass window."
Mommy: "Errrr. maybe.)

Team 341 wins the 2006 Gullibility Award, not only for being fooled by Lavery twice about the 2006 animation but by this little girl who convinced them she was of high-school age.

<not an entry> Just kidding, 341! You guys are great!</not an entry>

Little girl: "Well of COURSE it pulls to the left, the Fisher Price motors have different torque characteristics running forward and backward. Haven't you noticed the asymmetric tread wear pattern on my Barbie Jeep? It's pretty easy to fix. Hello? Ever heard of a PWM variable bias?"

COACH: "We find young children to be the best subjects because we get to teach them the OUR Left and right."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #79
 

Is it just me or do these freshmen seem to be getting younger and younger?

"What weapons does this trigger set off?"

In yet another stab at fulfilling Dean's vision, FIRST launches a new pilot program, "Preschool FIRST Robotics". PFR (aimed at 3-4 yr olds) allows preschoolers to control robots disguised as Bob the Builders, SpongeBob SquarePants and Elmo to form alliance partners. GP is taught along with EasyC in the classroom.

"Our best driver... and she cant even reach the controls during a match..."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #79

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #79
 

As you can plainly see, Daisy really knows that the best drivers really do start out young.

or

The only driver in FRC that really could control JVN in the booth. :p

Mom and daughter comes to visit team 341's demo.

Daughter: Mom, what does the robot do when I move this thingy forward.

Mom: I am not sure.

... Daughter moves that joystick forward.

(in the background one of the team member screaming...)

team member: WHAT DID I TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT LETTING OTHERS DRIVE THE ROBOT.. OUUUUUUCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHH... call 911.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #79
 

Get 'em hooked while they're young.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #79
 

Take 1:
After the last time they let this girl operate their robot, team 341 took the precaution of reinforcing their joystick box with duct-tape. :) (Is that legal?)

Take 2:
Shortly before the trial run commenced, team 341's safety captain tried to reassure the dubious flock of onlookers. "We guarentee this robot as 100% childproof. Nothing could possibly go wrong." Nevertheless, the crowd made sure to back well away from the border of the 100-yard-radius "testing zone".

Mommy, is this another one of those 90’s nostalgia games you and daddy played with when you were young?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #79
 

With the addition of this new robot pilot, Karthik's vision of an all-preschool FIRST team was finally realized.

"Yay!!!! Now I can have my two favorite things - strategy sessions and tea parties - whenever I want!!! Did you hear that, Kermit and Elmo??? We have new guests coming! Set the table!!!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #79
 

FIRE ZE MISSILES!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #79
 

Mommy, this is cool. Look how I can get all those people in the black and white shirts to run around. I like this can we take it home? I can't wait to show daddy how well I can drive. Will you let have the car now?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #79
 

341 was shocked when they heard that 116 managed to start recruiting at a younger age.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #79
 

"The little girl's gaze was locked on the robot, leaving us with but one question: which one's in control?"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #79
 

"It's... so... beautiful"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #79
