Team 1597 concluded that telekinesis may be a bit ambitious drive system for the FIRST robotics competition. Unfortunately they had to go all the way to the championship to realize that.

Rich Wong 22-01-2006 19:06
Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
Robot: "Cheer up, it really was not your fault.
We all play a part in this lost.
I will take full responsibility for the 30 point penalty.
Let's go back to the pit and pack me up.
Can you push me?"

Jay H 237 22-01-2006 19:10
Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
1597 failed to compete at the Championships due to the fact the lack of sleep from build season finally caught up with thier driver just as they were getting ready for thier match.

In a major restructuring effort, IBM Research division reported today that they have rented space in a large venue and downsized their staff significantly...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
After a long, heartfelt talk, the two decided their relationship just wasn't going anywhere.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
The kid: You got me so tired today. I am going to take a nap.

ROBOT: grrrr... is that why you put me up on this cart so I can't move? :mad:

The Kid: YUPPPPP!!! ::snore::

Robot: ...

Kid: Okay! I promise I won't forget your battery ever again!

Robot: ...

Kid: Can we still be friends? Pleeeaaasssseeee?

Robot: ...

Kid: Alright, alright. So I'll get you an anodized frame next year...

Even wearing an armband on his left hand to remember which was which, the kid still had to spend several minutes staring at the bewildering control layout before each match to remember which thing did what. Hey, with three joysticks and who knows how many buttons, sometimes it can be hard!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
Entry #1: Team 1597's driver was so weak from lack of sleep he decided to take a nap. When he woke up, everyone had most of their robots packed and the pits cleaned up.

Entry #2: Student on phone; "Yes mom, I packed my pajamas. No mom, I'm not going to eat any junk food. Yes mom, I'm having fun. Mom, I have to go, they just called our team to the arena. Bye mom"

"Ok.... God... I've put all I have into this robot. I could use some help. Do you know this Archimedes guy? Well... we are playing on a field named after him here in Atlanta. You see, we're up against this robot from Hammond, Indiana the next match. I hear that they are pretty good. If you can sway a tetra or two our way, I sure would appreciate it."

Entry 1:Team 1597 demonstrated their confidence at the championship by cuing for the Einstein field early Thursday.


Entry 2: Someone needs to tell team 1597 that they need to win their way to the Einstein field and not just show up and expect to be in the national finals.

1. "I can't believe I ate the whole thing."
2. "Anybody know the shortest route back to Cleveland?"
3. FIRST Robot: $6,000. Add-ons: $3,500. Registration to Nationals: $5,000. Transportation: $3,500. Hotel room: $120/night. Remembering to bring the battery charger: Priceless.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
FIRST has decided to eliminate score penalties, instead offending teams/robots while be immediately directed to the "Timeout Chair" and "Bad Robot Cart". :p

MissInformation 23-01-2006 14:54
Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
Telekinesis (tĕl'ĭ-kə-nē'sĭs): the power to move something by thinking about it without the application of physical force.

Kid: "Must... get... robot... back...to... pit. Too... lazy... to... actually... push... it. Getting... bad... headache... from... concentrating... so... hard."

Jay Trzaskos 23-01-2006 15:27
Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
I mean, we only lost to Circuit Runners once, but why do i always get so sad when I walk my their chair art? :confused: Why?

48, 49, 50... Come out Come out, wherever you are. Guys? Guys? Dang it, I know I shouldn't have tried to get the rest of the drive team to play hide and seek before the finals.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
Team 1597 was excluded from the robot luau after it was discovered that their grass skirt was in fact a fake.

Wayne Doenges 23-01-2006 22:47
Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
One ploy for getting a robot to respond to you is to pretend to ignore them. As long as you don't make any sudden moves, the robot will come right up to the student.

Kevin Kolodziej 23-01-2006 23:04
Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
Robot: Now, lets start from the beginning. Where were you on the night of February 22, 2005?

Student: I told you, I was home sick!

Robot: That's not an excuse! I'm sick right now, but here I am ready to play.

Student: But you're a machi--

Robot: And you're not?? A good driver needs to be able to drive in his sleep! HEY! WAKE UP!

Student: zzzzzzZZZZzzzzz

Robot: ...I need to find some Krispy Kremes quick!

***Not part of entry*** I think this picture has generated some of the funniest captions I have EVER seen in the caption contest. Kudos to everyone!

Heh heh, they all laughed at me for getting in line four days early. But here I am, the very first one in line!!! And when the ticket window opens, I'm gonna get front row tickets for Mariah Carey!!!!

So I wonder what all these people are doing wandering around here with all these robots?

The drive takes a moment to meditate before the match. The robot looks on in confusion.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
"All I had to do was score the center just once. But noooooooooooo! I had to show them how well I could pick up from the auto loader. How was I to know that five was the limit before tipping the robot out of bounds. I bet Aunt Lucy and grandma were watching on the Nasa channel too!"
Human player..."Just say the Nasa prayer with me. Please God, don't let me screw up."

Robot: "Sorry? I BET you're sorry. Sorry you got caught. Who was it? TELL me it wasn't that Wildstang Thang again. Did you push her big red button? She's always flaunting it too. Look at me when I'm talking to you! Don't you EVER mess around with another robot again or I'll drop you like a penalty flag, you hear me?"

*into cell phone that's on the side we can't see* Guys! Hey Guys! Where'd you put the Flightsticks?

*pause*

What do you mean the "Donut Fairy" took them. Wait, is that the Commander Keen 3 theme in the background. You guys took the Flighsticks back to the Omni to play Commander Keen?!? We have a match in 3 minutes! No, It's physically impossible for me to stand on the pressure pad, operate the arm, and drive at the same time! What are we gonna do?!?!?!

*pause*

You want me to look at the match schedule at a time like this!?!?! I don't think so! You guys are slacking off, and I'm sittin... I mean running around frantically trying to find someone to stand on the pressure pad. Okay, fine, I'll look at the schedule.

*looks down*

Oooooooohhhhhh, we're paired with 67 and 71. But that doesn't matter, I still need someone to stand on the pressure pad!

Billfred 29-01-2006 15:35
Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81
 
I think this might've been the hardest contest to judge in ages. Normally one sticks out, but when I have a pool of five or six potential winners, one has to resort to other techniques. Like just settling on one and saying first place goes to...
