CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #102
 

...and actually posted on a Sunday!

Here's the scores:

And as much as I wanted to fulfill Miss Boucher's request last week, the events of Mission Mayhem sort of preempted my scheme. But since no off-seasons have been flooded out this week, I can now present our regularly-scheduled picture:

Now, a slight change to the timetable. This Tuesday night, I leave for a month in the state of Maine. (Nothing like covering functionally the whole east coast by rail within two weeks, let me tell 'ya.) I'm going to be somewhat busy up there teaching kids about the wonders of robots, so to make sure I've got plenty of time to judge, the deadline will be FRIDAY at Midnight EDT. I don't take much pleasure in fiddling with an established deadline, but I also don't take much pleasure in invoking the Billfred Is Working Way Too Much Rule. ;)

With that said, go!

Dave shows his adaptability by performing and teaching the delicate art of open robot surgery. The operation was successful and the patient played another day. Please note that this should only be performed by an expert in the right scrubs.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #102
 

DAVE: OK kids this is a delicate operation. Any wrong move and six weeks of hard work goes down the drain.
KIDS: Yes, Mr. Lavrey!
DAVE:Wrench...screwdriver...duct tape...
ROBOT:Hey I hope you guys are wearin' gloves n' all. It pays to be sanitary! AHHHGH! Geez your hands are cold!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #102
 

Dave:Ready, Aim, FIRE!!! :D :D :D
Kid by the shooter: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW MY EYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dave:OOPS!!!

Kid in the Hat: Man that was rough! By the time you guys finally got around to opening the crate this morning we where up to our knees in shavings, all fourty seven of the drill batteries you gave us were dead, and all we had left for food was that *looks down cloth thingy* donut. In fact, once we where underway, we realized that we only had 11 dozen instead of 24 dozen we ordered. Know anything about that Dave?

Dave Thinking: Maybe if I hide my face behind this piece of angle iron no one will see the grin on my face. :D

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #102
 

KID: Umm Dace shouldn't you turn the robot off before you stick you hands in there?

Dave: I'll be fine it is only for a second.

Kid2: good Job Dave the Saftey Judge just saw you do that, now we will never win the saftey award!!

Some Freshman on 116: I'm no genious, but it looks like Dave also has a degree as an Otologist

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #102
 

"Nah, it looks more like a rabbit than a duck."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #102
 

Student: Are you sure we have that bolt tightened, Dave?

Dave: Absolutely. As we say at NASA, righty-tighty, lefty-loosey...

Kid on left:

"So Dave, what's up with this ball shooter you designed? We can't get this thing to last two minutes for a match but you have no problem getting a rover to last two plus years on Mars!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #102
 

Dave: Kids, make sure this robot doesn't get anywhere close to Tytus and Arefin, oh yea and also make sure that the robot is secured and INSIDE this time at IRI.

<not part of the entry> last year at IRI, team 116 left the robot in the trailer outside in the parking lot. It started raining very badly around 8 p.m. Tytus tried to save the robot. Next morning team 116 walked in with a very soaked robot. That is when Dave said "hmm... water game." </not part of the entry>

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #102
 

<Robot> "woooohooohooo! that tickles, Dave!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #102
 

Student on top: This is such a mess! Ugh!
Student on left: Dave, the robot isn't meant to shoot Krispy Kreme's in to your mouth!
Dave: I really didn't expect it to get stuck like that...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #102
 

Kid in hat: Ok, I see where the ball is stuck...

Kid on left: Is that a Krispy Kreme?!

Kid in hat: Dave, how many times have we told you not to feed the robot!!

Kid on left: Yea Dave, you'll make the robot overweight!

Dave: But it looked hungry...

Robot: Mmm... glazed.

Dave: "We will be attempting to transfer Einstein's brain into our robot."
Student on left: "Is that legal? I don't think a brain was in the KOP."
Dave: "You let me worry about that. I write the rules so I can change the rules."
Dave: "First attach the speech center to the speaker."
Robot: "Das ist gut. Ich bin ser gluchlich (sp?)."
Student with hat: "Oh great, it speaks only german. We're doomed."
