As always, the deadline is Saturday at midnight Eastern. (And with this week being USC's fall break, perhaps I'll be well-rested to judge it for once!)

Go!

JVN demonstrates the nightmare all good engineers have from time to time...All of the gremlins in the world gather to cast spells on the one thing you need to get working in the next two minutes. We must be especially careful of the one they call "Murphy". He is trying to hide in the back row with the number 37 around his neck.

MC: 3...2...1...GO!!
Robots: *charge from the back*
*Mascots flee*
JVN: Oh, rats...WHO SCREWED UP THE MATCH CONTROL THIS TIME????

JVN, aka "The IFI Dork", takes to the starting blocks in the 100-meter stumble and wheeze event at the 2007 Lame Mascot Olympics.

this picture demonstrates why Autonomy is a bad idea:
'cause when you start thinking on your own, bad things happen!!

Now you can see the more attractive side of FIRST.
And next year's game: Eacg team's human playes is a mascot. Every team builds a crane-robot 15 meters high, with one arm.
The team that grabs the most mascots in a game wins. You know, like those machines with cute bears...

Mascots: "John, John, he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can."
John: "What are they going on about, I'm just tying me shoelace."

Mascot Training 101 is going well - except for one student.

Girls: psst, John, it's time to dance, step away from the robot and put down that tool - here comes the coach.

JVN: Picky, picky, picky.

Girls: That's the spirit!

Having finally outgrown his fear of clowns,
JVN is none-the-less haunted with obsessive thoughts of being followed by F.I.R.S.T. mascots...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #170
 

(Peter Framptom song “Show me the way” playing in the back ground)
“… I want you JVN to show us the way, everyday, I want you JVN to show us the way, everyday…”


Anonymous coach: “Wow, "This I want to be a JVN” Fan club is really popular!”

The DJ had planned it for weeks. As JVN steps onto the field, he would put on DSK's hit song, Johnny V-Neun, and call the mascots onto the field to perform the routine the had practiced to perfection.

JVN, used to the exaltation, gets on his knees and bows toward the crowd. This action proves how "down to earth" a superstar can be.

If only Lee Corso did "FIRST Gameday" every Saturday in March... Sooo many mascot heads to try on to pick regional championship winners.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #170
 

"No mascots were harmed in the making of this picture. However, a crazed FIRST mentor came pretty darn close."

That'll be one -infinity for Mr. Bonzack. (As any follower of the Gamecocks knows, we disagree with Mr. Corso's views. ;))
