Now, I'm off to Chesapeake this week, so just on the off chance I can get internet access before I come back to Columbia, I'm moving the deadline up to the announcement of the Regional Chairman's Award at the Chesapeake Regional, which I estimate should happen around 4:00 or 5:00 PM Eastern this Saturday. As always, entries are accepted until I open the thread to judge it.

Go!

Safety Inspector, “Hey, what is your Alliance Captain doing seating on the field with no safety glasses?”

Coach Fredi: “He is communicating with the Falcon Master Spirits. He is asking for guidance on the next alliance pick.”

Safety Inspector: “But now he is starting to shake, sweat and steam is rising from his head! Isn't that a safety concern?”

Coach Fredi,” Not to worry sir, we have already placed CAUTION tape on the dangerous areas.”

Nah nanah nanah naaa...
Be the tube.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #140
 

having racked my brain,
contemplation has led me to throw caution to the wind
and roll with it -

- it is what it is -
- find that inner drive -
- go -

His mantra is very familiar...

It sounds like... Let's... get... ready... to... rumble?!

I must remember Yoda's words now and pick up as many tubes as I can, put them on the rack, and then 2 bots above 12 in, then the red alliance shall be defeated.

The Learn'ed One: "You must always concentrate on the task ahead. You must be prepared for any outcome and every possibility. Once you have learned this, you too can wear the Warning for caution of a dangerous mind."

Student: "But... Why do you wear a bib, O' Learn'ed One?"

The Learn'ed One: "As I said, 'You must be prepared for any outcome and every possibility.' You never know when you are in for a free lobster dinner."

Student: "..."

The Learn'ed One: "I can see you do not yet fully understand the meaning of infinity. Now, back to your studies."

Must...put...keepers...on...rack!

The caution tape was meant to channel his energies during his meditation exercises. Unfortunately it just created a bad hair day.

All the stress of the competition finally got to him, but as his unconscious body fell to the floor, his inner zen took over, causing him to land in a state of perfect peace.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #140
 

His mommy told him he could do anything if he believed in himself. Unfortunately, he spent the whole match believing instead of actually controlling the robot.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #140
 

Autonomous isn't telepathic control of the robot. Apparently, nobody bothered to tell him that...:p

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #140
 

Arm driver: "He just started saying something over and over again...I don't know what's wrong. He won't listen to me, and I can't understand what he's saying."
Programmer: "Hmm..let me listen"
Main driver, the one on the floor, as the pan-tilt servos on the opposing alliance's camera twitch: "Tracking...tracking...tracking...tracking...pan11 0tilt32confidence89blobsize20..."
Programmer: "Whoa...dude, you can be my debugger any day!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #140
 

Well, I see several things wrong with this robot.

1. Doesn't have the diagnostic light
2. Needs a battery, and a backup battery
3. Needs to drop a couple pounds (start up those drills guys)
4. Doesn't have a radio (but I bet cody stole it)
5. Doesn't have an RC

and the list goes on...

Here we see a student taking a break during a lull in the competition.
He decided to meditate on how better to win the matches.
Unfortunately he fell asleep and missed the rest of the matches.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #140
 

Try as he might, he just could not get his robot to levitate twelve inches.
Which is surprising; he's levitated other objects before. He is often levitates birds, but nobody seems to notice.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #140
 

This team's robot is so good, they don't even need a human player. While others are at their peak stress level, this one relaxes ("out with the bad, in with the good").

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #140
 

Announcer "and the blue alliance has done it again, all three robots 12 inches off the floor for a bonus of 90 points. wow folks I never thought I'd see the force used in a FIRST event but the blue allaince captian is apparently a master jedi!!"

::Be one with the robot, I am the robot, the robot will obey me;;

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #140
 

"The upside is that chicks dig the FIRST hippie look. The downside: everybody always blames you when their robot releases its magic smoke."

Meditater: "After hours of meditation, I have finally figured it out...All Dave's game hints...they all point to one thing...it's amazing...it's..."
Dave: *snipes meditater* "hehehe it's not going to be that easy"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #140
 

Meditation is a fine art, after many years of carefully perfecting the art this firster has decided to use his talents in competition. However as the gaming gods decreed meditation my not be used for game advantage. This FIRSTer has been sitting here for 2 hours meditating and missed three matches, all losses for his team. Let this be a lesson to you all, nothing can get you ahead if your robot isn't finished in time.
