It seems like Stephanies birthday cake was so good that the field resetrors took it as a ringer. A few seconds later, the number 8 middle spider leg looks like someone 8 years old bday cake.

Once again, MIT shows that it's often beneficial to look to the heavens.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

This is why some teams don't post anything about their robots on CD during build: even jokes may inspire some crazy team out there.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

The element of surprise: opponent drive team suspects nothing, seconds before the fiendish autonomous levitating ringer descends ...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

Drive coach: No, you DON'T get points for scoring a ringer on the pole that is helping get power to the rack!

Hapless rookie human player: What about the raised basketball hoop?

Coach: We are NOT playing basketball here!

Player:...Oh....

Person in charge of filling ringers: "Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to fill the ringers with helium."

Team 1980 Drive Captain: "It was here a minute ago."

MIT player: "The anti gravity ray is working!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

ABHABAHAHAHAHAHAH ... srsly, lol.







and for my caption:

"The human player didnt know that getting a ringer on the referee doesnt count"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

Combining Aim High with Rack-n-Roll: Try having your human player shoot a ringer around a basketball net.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

Team 1980: "So THAT'S what the big "DO NOT PRESS" button does..."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

moments earlier...
team 1980 driver: our robot is so awesome it can shoot a ringer through that basketball hoop
MIT kid: prove it
team 1980 driver (thinking) : so this is why mom told me not to taunt the other teams

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

Teen from MIT: I don't think your robot is supposed to through ringers back at you.

1980: Blast.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

So this is why we shouldn't use the "FIRST is like Basketball" speech.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

When all else failed, team 1980 activated plan beta:

Launch the heat-seaking ringer and stare inconspicuously at the controller board.

(Unfortunately, they neglected to test plan beta during practice, leading to general disarray.)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

...in my thoughts I have seen
rings of blue,
lights of green,
and the voices of those who stand looking...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

In an off-season twist to last year's game, Duel organizers decided to let Human Players hang from the rafters and try and drop ringers onto the rack...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

OH NOES! THE GHOST TUBE HAS COME FROM THE GRAVEYARD!!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

Incoming!!!!! Does this qualify as friendly fire no matter who threw it!?!?!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

of all of the cartoonish sound bytes that come with the FIRST field, unfortunately no one has thought to add the "whistling falling object" sound effect.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

"Oh great, another flying saucer. Hey buddy, this is a no-probing zone! Try over by the football field!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

What do you mean that the fuel cell pilot teams filled the ringers with hydrogen?!? Oh, the humanity!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

Ha ha….. someone filled the RacknRoll inner-tubes with helium!
Does anyone have their Aim-High robot with them?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

Alright, who brought their Aim High robot to a Rack N Roll event! :rolleyes:

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #172
 

Without Wayne Doenges' 6,734 points, the scores almost look respectable....
He's been going all New England Patriots on us.
