Darn! The human has another pulled hamstring. If we ever get that bug fixed I know that we will have a killer human.

383's demo robot:

I am NOT a control freak!
This is robot meditation.
Repeat after me,
'be one with the robot - ohm...
control the inner drive to operate without your team mates.
be one with the robot....'

Koko Ed 01-10-2006 22:01
Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #117
 

It was inevitable that humans would be deemed obsolete to even be able to compete against robot run teams in FIRST. My God, what have they wrought? WHAT HAVE THEY WROUGHT?

Arefin Bari 01-10-2006 22:01
Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #117
 
Well somebody told me
You had a ROBOT
Who looked like a Driver
That I had in last build season
It's very confidential
AND my team got potential

Unhappy with the way robots have been generally treated by humans, Johnny 5 took matters into his own hands.

Still convinced robots aren't taking over the world?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #117
 
While the team struggles with the game robot's autonomy code, the controls team takes autonomy to the next level so humans are unnecessary.

KelliV 01-10-2006 22:25
Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #117
 
What do you mean the robot gets disabled for me touching the controls? I am autonomous aren't I?

Coincidentally, the driver pictured also was the producer of a certain Styx song that I'm quite sure you all know....

[not an entry] Is this Johnny 4? And where exactly does the driver badge go? [/not an entry]

The team from Porto Alegre demonstrates how they won the "Most Photogenic" award back in 2000. Quite the clothes hound there.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #117
 
This robot was the prototype that didn't get used. He decided to take the matters into his own hands and smash the other robot into pieces the day before ship. Now they would have to ship him as there robot,and he thought that he had gotten away with it, but before the other robot was destroyed it captured this picture. Now he sits on a shelf brainless.

OH the autonomous mode didn't work now I have to re-program the Human!!! :D :D :D

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #117
 


When they reviewed the surveillance camera video, they were shocked when they learned what the robot had been doing, alone at night by himself.

The scores get wiped at the end of a year of caption contests, most recently after #104.

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,

Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modern man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control

Team 383's driver was disqualified when it was discovered, with the use of a fluoroscope, that he was a robot dressed in human clothing. "He was heard to say "It worked for the wolf."

During Dave Lavery's trip to Antarctica, he suffered from severe frostbite and required extensive constructive surgery. The doctors were overheard saying, "Dave Lavery, FIRST Mentor extraordinaire. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first robotic man. Dave Lavery will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster. And we're sure he won't mind if he resembles his other car on Mars."

In search of the world's best iced donut, Dave even searched in Antarctica.

Realizing that even the world's best engineers sometimes forget to look at the calendar, Andy Baker developed a personal assistant robot to handle some of the more mundane clerical tasks required to keep him at the right place at the right time on the right day (and with the right photo for the weekly caption contest). Here we see Baker's Assistant Robot (known as "the BAR") preparing to remotely start up his vehicle, so Andy will remember to go to work so he can earn a paycheck and fund his robotics Technology Acquisition Baccalaureate (known as his "BAR TAB").

(hmmm... inspiration! Thanks Andy.)

Entry:
New from 2026 AndyMark, Inc. catalog!
The Andy Auto Pilot Robot - Mark II (model # AAPRM-II-2026).

This auto-pilot robot is FIRST legal and will come pre-program with the new 2026 FRC game on a simm card. It is a big improvement from last year AAPRM-I model. The new model will talk back less, will work more than 8 hours a day and will not ask for weekends off.

Price:10 easy payments of only $49.95.
But wait….. if you order now you’ll also receive a copy of the Handly-Dandy Andy Best FRC Team Joke Book for free!
It is almost a best seller in Indiana.

Are you a nerdly robot operator?

Does your next FIRST competition coincide with that can't miss "Star Trek - DS9" Marathon on Spike TV? Or perhaps your first date with a *real female*?

Then worry no more! For the cheap price of selling your prized D&D collectibles on eBay, you too can have your own iRobot RoboDork!

It pilots! It co-pilots! It browses Slashdot - all at the same time!

Act now! Operators are standing by!

383's new driver was told that over time a competition driver should become one with the robot. Unfortunately, he took that literally.

And now we see the secret 383 driver tryout program. Someone heard "we must beat that robot!" and the rest is history. And I thought our driver tryouts were tough.

I think that Billfred needs to give me point for the assist. Or... he should give me a penalty point for posting a caption in the wrong week. Ah... maybe he did that! +1 for the assist, -1 for the error = 0. I'm a zero this week. I can deal with that.
