International Robot Sightings!!!!
 

I dont really know if many of you have heard about this, but recently rumors have been progressing about contravercial robot sightings around the world. At first I didn't believe it myself, but after my parents returned from a trip to moscow with this photograph I became convinced that it was all true........robots are secretly roaming the earth......its a conspiracy......has anyone seen any other robots? does anyone have any footage? I am personally shocked. Now i dont think i can go to sleep at night without looking out through my window to see if i am being watched by another teams robot.....

isn't that the team 95 grasshopper?.....in red square?

LOL!

/me looks out window...

hmm, there's supposed to be thunderstorms here tonight, hopefully no crazy robots, like Johnny 5 :D

hmmm, I can't say I've spotted any robots recently, but I do know that Team 810 is a bunch of dirty cheaters!! I mean, obviously they found this photo of Woodstock, saw Hendrix's old robot, and copied the design exactly. Shame on you, 810!

This is a really good image manipulation. "mad props."

the bongo player looks scared of the robot.

LOL!!!! run in fear bongo player, for that robot will run you right over...

anyways, i never saw that picture before dan, so i think you're the dirty cheater :D.

These are great! Oh... I'm way too busy... but maybe, just maybe, I can show you what ED's been up to lately later tonight...

Paintshop pro, here I come...

Aaaauuuuuggghhh!! Run and hide! Protect the women and children (and innocent engineers)!

Isn't "innocent engineer" an oxymoron? You just wait! I spent my lunchtime getting the "props" ready!

Hmmm... can I really get away with that...

It depends on the context. In some areas engineers can be quite innocent, but I don't think robot building is one of them. So in this case you're right.

Well, the shipping company did loose track of our crate for a while after UTC, perhaps it got stuck on the wrong plane? Russian scientists are out to steal our ball sucking secrets! That would explain the big red star on the bottem the frame...

Grasshoppers get around!

Another sighting-
 

Is Pennzoil sponsoring a team now? I didn't see them on the sponsor list.

Well, it wasn't easy,
 

but I managaged to track ED down. It seems he's fallen in with a bad crowd... an Outlaw gang who specialize in robbing Krispy Kreme stores. Just where did team 116 go wrong in raising ED?

It could have been A LOT worse!

Re: Well, it wasn't easy,
 

Now thats impressive, and i dont know how it could get worse :confused:

Well, originally, I was thinking of something with sombreros, and when I did an image search for sombreros, the first image to come up was of a man wearing nothing but a speedo and a sombrero... oh my...

<============>
But I kept that sombrero picture, just in case...

Robbe Extreme scores big in World Cup
 

Team 56's Robbe Extreme scored big in the USA/Portugal World Cup Game earlier this week. Made for handling soccer balls, the triumphant FIRST robot rapidly retrieved balls and crossed them to attacking US teammates. Pictured below is Robbe assisting USA striker Donovan in one of the 3 US goals. Team USA eventually triumphed in the 3-2 win.

When questioned about the legality of having FIRST robots play in FIFA sanctioned matches head referee Boris Biscovicic stated
"Robbe does possess a valid FIFA player pass and is the youngest member of the USA squad ever(less than 1 year old). Being made of metal the machine is not required to wear shin guards (especially since it lacks shins)"


When questioned about ball handling by the machine, Biscovicic explained "a player cannot be charged with ball handling if he/she doesn't have hands, therefore Robbe cannot be charged with handling the ball" The point that Robbe entered the field holding 20 soccer balls remains unexplained

aah! i love that western one!
my dad would love it!
and i gotta get a copy of that soccer one for my crazy world cup friends!!

omg, these are great! i got to get paintshop pro. heh heh (evil laugh)

Aren't those conga drums?
 

When Good Bots Go Bad
 

whether for the money or the thrills even good robots can go bad. But rest assured justice always prevails and they end up in the big house with the other cons
