Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #121
 

John:So you think next year its a water game?

Big Mike:Yeah, I think it will be something like this

(John and Big Mike start to wrestle!!! :D :D :D )

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #121
 

"John and Mike are rehearsing for the fight scene in their new movie "FRC Showdown". Nobody is sure if they are actually going to make it. Some speculate that it is just an excuse to go into the pool."

Maybe a photo of us in water will stop people from suggesting that there will be a water game this year.

Anybody else notice the big yellow patch by Mike?

Does anyone have any questions now as to why we don't have swimming as a team social at events?

Here's a picture of secret practice sessions for the human simulation of this years game to be demonstrated at Kickoff.

Water + January + Kickoff = robot shrinkage! :ahh:

John: Hey Mikey, can you feel all these little bubbles?
Big Mike: Cut it out John, we have to get serious.
John: They tickle *giggle* if you hold your hands in the water like this, you can feel the bubbles, they tickle *giggle*.
Big Mike: John, man, come ON - we have to do this, the whole world is watching.
John: I can't help it, Mikey, these bubbles feel like fizz - bubbles rock - *starts laughing gleefully*.
Big Mike: John, listen - we have to focus, quit playing with the bubbles -
now - concentrate -
on the count of 3, we each do a handstand and keeping our feet together, point our toes, then scissor split, then twirl. Got it?

John: bub..erm..got it, handstand, scissor split, twirl...*giggle*.

Big Mike: And don't forget - point your toes, they mark off if we don't. And stop giggling please. *sigh* Synchronized water ballet is not for weenies.

A water game takes on a whole new meaning when we see what the field reset guys will look like. Let's not go there.

Mike: "Marco!"
John: "Polo!"
Mike: "Marco!"
John: "Polo!"
Mike: "Marco!"....."Marco"....."Marco" *opens eye* "Now where did he go? He better not have gone to the all-you-can-eat buffet without me."

Big Mike: "Come here, you pansy. I'm about to give you the dutch rub of a lifetime!"

JVN: "Mike, you should know by now, we don't agitate the dots....especially the big, bald one on top of my head!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #121
 

Many experienced engineers had offered multitudes of technical rationales for why an underwater FRC game was unlikely. However, Mike and John provided the definitive explanation. The very thought of how many young students would be traumatized and forced into long-term therapy by viewing these two in their aquatic referee uniform Speedos was enough to make the FIRST staff realize that the FIRST Robotics Competition could NEVER, EVER, EVER feature aquatic robots...

Steve Irwin: Crikey...lookey here. These specimens are rare North American beluga engineers. They appear to be engaged in some sort of territory battle. It is quite possible that they may be fighting for the attention of a female of the species...no wait, I must be mistaken. There isn't a female to be seen. This is pretty standard for this species. What a catch...woooeeee

Big Mike: See, I told you that NEMO white paper on team travel was great!
JVN: Yeah, who would ever think of staying in the cheap hotel and sneaking into the expensive one to use their pool and hot tub!?


[not an entry: NEMO does not endorse this idea! :) ]

as the SLA liquid was drained from the full scale prototyping machine it became apparent that something had gone terribly wrong!

Instead of the CAD files for the robot chassis, someone had scanned the team mentors, and loaded those files instead

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. In this corner, with the might (and size) of Jupiter: Big Mike Schroeder! In the opposite corner, his last name is difficult to pronounce and his head reflects light with an absolute magnitude of -1.47: it's John Vielkind-Neun!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #121
 

At Mission Mayhem, global warming has again devastated the event.

Big Mike, “Oh NO, Not Again! what are we going to do now John? The field is totally under water.”

JVN, “ Don’t worry, I have Billfred’s number, he’ll know would to do.”

T'Pau: If both survive the lirpa, combat will continue with the ahn woon.
Big Mike: Uh, what do you mean, 'If both survive...'?
T'Pau: This combat is to the death.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #121
 

After reading Brin's Earth both Big Mike and JVN set out to make the Gravity Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (GASER) device featured in the novel. However, as they slaved by their soldering guns both ran into serious problems. JVN lacked a reliable gravity source and Big Mike couldn't figure out a way to focus gravitational energies. However, in the pool during the 2003 Nationals they accidentally achieved their goal, Big Mike's gravitational field interacted with the amazing superreflector of JVN's head to produce a pulse of energy the likes of which have never been seen before or since.

For the IRI talent show, Big Mike and JVN decided to re-enact the best scenes from Titanic.

Big Mike: "Im king of the world!"
JVN: "We've already done that scene... now is when you have to kiss me goodbye and slip under the water!"
Big Mike: "K... k... kiss you? Um... forget the Titanic, how about we do Jaws instead! Duh nuh, duh nuh, duh nuh duh nuh... roawrrrrr!
