First day of work:

Wearing these safety glasses will - force - me to reveal the truth.

I - am - a - nerd.

We're - doomed.

It's not GP to blow up another person's Death Star.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

The FRC Safety Advisers are so strict, even the control system has to wear safety glasses.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

Vader: Dang young kids taking all the cool safety glasses! :mad:

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

FIRST Robotics: where a just helmet simply won't do

Darth Vader's Michael Dukakis Moment - Now he will never be The Dark Lord

Darth: I find this rather demeaning that I have to stand in this yellow tape square to inflict my wrath on the head ref.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

Everyone wants a third alliance. Team 270 even came to the NYC regional preparing for the debut of the black alliance. Boy, were they disappointed.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

May the Schwartz be with you.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

(Photo is passed about at annual super-villain convention)

Joker: Ha, Vader is that you? Ha ha wow! What, have they got you speaking at FIRST competitions now? Going all GP and geek, eh?

Vader: What? Never! I wasn't there for the competition. I was just, uh...scouting about to see if there were any good battle robot designs for another bid to take over the gal-

(Sauron leans over the Joker's shoulder to see the photo)

Sauron: Vader! Are those...those aren't safety googles, are they?

Vader: Silence! They wouldn't let me in without them.

(Joker and Sauron burst into laughter)

Vader thinking to himself: Curse you FIRST. At this rate Voldemort is going to be calling me for tech support. My reputation as a super-villain is RUINED! RUINED!!!!!!!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

No, no, no. You've got this all wrong, guys. Obviously, this picture was taken a long time ago. This was the FIRST ever Darth Vader created in history. I always wondered what happened to the best mentor in history.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

Aliens from the future (actually, past) to assist dean with ideas about his robotic arm.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

Can you imagine the fund-raising that team had to do to get to the Championship?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

As an absentee father, Darth never did build a healthy relationship with Luke, so he decided to try harder with his younger son... "Billfred... who's your daddy..."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

It just goes to show you that even a master of the dark side of the Force can't protect himself from flying debris in the pits. In actuality this is scene from an upcoming movie "The Force meets FRC", but you know the ending.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

While the prototype of the death ray goggles seemed awkward to Vader, he was surprised at how easily they allowed him to move around the robot development proving grounds.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

At last, it was revealed to all that all green shirts are actually Dark Lords of the Sith in disguise.

Here we see their leader with a public service threat...er....announcement for all the non-compliant little FRC kiddies out there:

*Shakes fist menacingly* "You don't know the POWERRRRRRRRRRRR....of the Underwriters Laboratories FRC Safety Advisors!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

Clark Kent/Superman: "If you put on these glasses no one will recognize you. I've been doing it for years and no one has caught on."
Skywalker/Vader: "OK, I'll give it try."
Little kid: "Mister, have you seen Darth Vader?"
Skywalker/Vader: "I think he's over by the concession stand."
*Little kid walks off*
Skywalker/Vader: "Wow these really work."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

*Vader walks up to a teams pit*
Vader: What does this do *starts playing with the electronics*
Team:NOOOOO!
Vader: What?*shorts battery, magic smoke from arm*
Vader: I thought these things were supposed to protect me!?!?!?!
*Team Facepalm*

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

In an alternate Star Wars universe, Darth Vader became angry and irritable after his cool mask failed OSHA inspecion, leading him on the path toward the Dark Side.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

Vader: "I find your lack of safety ... disturbing"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
 

So THIS is what happens when you join the GDC.

Those safety glasses are permanent, by the way.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265
