(Hey, we got 148 last week, have to settle up with the other 2/3rds of the world champions.)

As always, the deadline is sorta kinda Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

Paul: Yes Karthik, I know that's your robot. It says so right here in the script: "Team 1114, St. Catherines, Ontario". Now quit wiggling around.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

Ironically, even when combined, Paul and Karthik sill weren't as tall as Big Mike.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

Over the loudspeaker: "Young man, won't you listen to me, I said, young man...."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

Karthik: Are you ready to rumble? Yes yes yes! Let's place some tubes!
Paul (talking to himself, reading paper in his right hand): Here it is, the MC checklist --
Announce robots, check
Wear team t-shirts, check
Wave flags, check
Run around like a madman, check
Sound like an announcer at the demolition derby on Saturday night, check
Invite girls to the prom for shy engineer guys, check
Make clever Dean Kamen references, check
Paul (out loud): Darn it Karthik, the check list does NOT include "carry small engineer around on shoulders!" Get down from there!

YAR!!! ROBOTS HO!!!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

Paul Copioli wanted to know just how much the 68 pounds of roof fabric at the Georgia Dome weighed. Now, he knows.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

After complaints from the crowd that no one could see the MC, Karthik finally found a way to get "on top" of the situation..

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

Paul: "Before this next match, there is a FIRST tradition. Unfortunately, Genia isn't here, so...*whispers* Karthik, quit strangling me *normal voice*...we get to play 'Toss the Karthik' instead! Get him, boys!" *Flips Karthik off shoulders*

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

"I don't care if I'm over the weight limit! Toss me a ringer and I'll show you what I can do!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

Paul Copioli, working on his to-do list -

Ok, Karthik - we'll need a long arm..

Karthik: got it..

Paul: a strong base..

Karthik: got it...well, if you would stop shifting...

Paul: and a different spin on things - where's John?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

(Pointing) So that's how they control the robots!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

Ref: "If you two don't get off the field some robot is going to put a ringer you."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

Karthik shows off his suggestion for a new way to select alliance partners. Forget numbers. Just point!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

OK Paul, now jump OVER that wall ! (Yippee kai yea, git along little dogie...)


[NPOE]Paul: "This is what the rest of us see when we're standing up"...
K: Ohhh. Now I get it....[/NPOE]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

Paul: "You can jump so ridiculously high I don't see why I have to hold you up here."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

IRI Rule Revision...
217 and 1114 may only field an alliance as shown.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

"This is why it pays to be small and lightweight; it makes it easier to climb on top of something bigger for the 30 bonus points."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

Karthik: " Yes, young grasshoppers...when you can place ringer on my hand, then your training will be complete."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

Karthik: "Only you can prevent robot fires!"

Paul: "-writes on check-list- Find Fire Extinguisher... just in case"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

Paul: KARTHIK! Put down the end effector! Your throwing off my CG!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

After suffering a debilitating leg injury, Karthik, who feels uncomfortable MC-ing at ground level, bribed Paul to do this, offering to pick them in Atlanta as payment. At the moment, Paul feels the chances of them getting in the same division are far too low.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

"I was right! Kathik's height profile of 7' 2" is really stretching it."
:]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #198
 

<Copioli>: Dang it! Lavery said the GDC was going to get me back for the whole "start the match with one robot stacked on top of another" thing from last year, but making the mentors stack on top of each other is just going too far!
