CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #213
 

This one might get a little dirty.

Here are the scores after the last round:

The deadline is still Saturday at midnight Eastern, though my ability to judge it depends on the speed with which Apple ships me a new hard drive (or, failing that, the speed with which I can re-borrow my mother's computer).

Go!

Reason that humanity created robots #78: So we don't have to wear comical anti-germ suits any more. Unfortunately, as seen here, certain pesky members of society find robots too darn interesting.

When they're unable to find lead-free solder at the local store, the Tech Tigers take no chances. Here you see them with their biomechanical husbandry project in which they successfully crossbred Johnny Five with Edward Scissorhands.

“Wait until the FIRST judges see this!
The Tech Tigers will have the first implanted FRC controller.”

Here we see how Krispy Kreme injects the creamy filling into their donuts.

This is what happens when you cross a couple of engineers, a robot and a hamburger. Give them a few minutes with nothing to do and they start testing all the functions. In two or three days they will have it doing onion volcanoes and flipping shrimp tails on your plate like Benihana's..

And here we see the Boston Creme Pie from Contest #212 being created. No mere bakery creme pie for Dean Kamen; he gets one made in a clean room by robots. Which is another reason Lavery is smirking in #212 - he knows what the bill to NASA will be.

Why are they standing so far away from it? It doesn't look THAT dangerous. It's only a surgical robot... Oh... and they're crossing their arms... a sign of insecurity...

Strangely, the reality TV show "Urinal Cake Autopsy" never made it past its pilot episode....

"You better take notes, guys. You never know what that crazy guy might throw at us for next year's game."

Overheard in medical school:

Robot: *beep* OK, guys... I need a volunteer to practice on. *beep*
TechTigers: *grin while looking nervously at each other*
Robot: *beep* Well? Who's it going to be? *beep*

At which point, the team reprogrammed it.

Dave's latest sneaky game hint for 2009 features a robot preparing to "chew" a giant piece of pink bubble gum. The GDC is hotly debating whether to name the new game "Stick to It" or "Peril in Pink."

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #213
 

Here we see a hitherto unknown splinter group from the Tech Tigers attempting to assemble a new team member 'from scratch'. Overheard: "Bwaaahaahaha...and you though we recruited our new members!"

Don't poke the robot it will poke you back

Team 1251 meets with the engineers to talk after photos.

1251 Mechanical- So how did everybody on the team work together?

Engineer 1- It was great, everything ran quite smoothly.

1251 Programmer- More specifically, how did the programmers work with the rest of the team?

Engineer 2- Oh fantastic! We had lots of time to work with the robot. We actually found a few things wrong mechanically with the robot. Everyone was so accommodating.

1251 Mechanical- *Walking away* You guys disgust me.

1251 Programmer- Don't mind him... so did you guys get a lot of space to work in too?

Place: Bazooka Labs
Procedure: Operation Big Wad
Team: The Bubble Heads

Team Leader: Ok guys, Operation Big Wad is about to begin. Remember:

- don’t chew this thing up
- if it looks like it’s going to blow, stick with it but don’t gum up the works
- no popping off
- you aren’t Gumshoes, you’re Bubble Heads. In other words, don't burst your own bubble thinking too much.

Let’s get this deal wrapped up.

Unfortunately, this machine doesn't shrink people as it does in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The Oompa Loompas that you think that you are seeing are really just *incredibly smart people* in disguise.

*If it isn't offensive, substitute "geeks" here
