The itsy-bitsy spider kid
approached the bot with doubt.
Down came the arm and freaked the spider out.
Up went the cries of "I'll sue!!!" from the mom,
and the itsy-bitsy spider kid was never rung again.

Driveteam: steady...steady...
Coach: Nice and easy guys, if we screw this one up our team is hosed.
Driveteam: now lower....slowly... Got it!
Coach: Good practice. Now lets use the kid as a ramp.

A text message received by Team 1523:
"Yo Team MARS!
How is everyone back in Jupiter, Florida.
My summer job at Wet-N-Wild Water Park is the best.
My duties are to load the young visitors at the Kiddie World with floaters.

The job is pretty easy and the tips are pretty good.
Soon I will have enough funds for my fare to the
Hawaii Regional in 2008.

Gotta Go! The line is queuing up outside.
Your 2007 robot.
PS- I would like an extra battery."

The problem with this picture is that the keeper is both too high and not deflated. Also, the robot seems to need a new auto mode. The green is still several feet away.

Don't you just wonder about some of the mentor ideas to get an FLL team started?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #147
 

As an adult, people always assumed Keeper's Dad must've given him the nickname at birth, as in "This one's a keeper!"... Little did they know that it all started with a robot back in grade school...

Robot to rest of MARS team: He followed me home, can I keep him?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #147
 

And we wonder why FIRST isn't bigger, the group of kids standing around was a lot bigger, but most of the ones that didn't escape were already carried away.
