Mentor: "We tested my thoughts in stages, built our bot for ages, tightened our chassis' chain... We weren't that good for Curie, but we could have made it surely, If I only had a brain."

[NPOE] We werent on Curie, but it was the easiest name to rhyme with :p [/NPOE]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #297

Mentor: I'm proud of you, team 1676. We built a sweet robot that runs entirely on pneumatics!
Student 1: But how do we power it? I don't see a compressor!
Mentor: Well, I, um...
Student 2: You know what this means. You better start blowing into those tubes. Pronto.
Mentor: Aw, crud. *squats down and starts blowing*
Student 2: Hey, this guy's doing a good job. We should make him part of the robot.
Student 1: But won't that push us over the weight limit?
Student 2: We can always put speed holes in him.
Mentor: What the...?!

Not an entry: Under one of the rules of the contest, I humbly exclude myself from this week's contest since I took the photo. I think that's what I have to do?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #297

Member 1: "Good job of using your head, now if you hold it right there, the hanger will work just right!"
Member 2: "But that's not legal, the rest of him sticks out past the bumper perimeter before the finale."
Member 3: "Well, if we cut off everything from the neck down it will still work, but the duel kicker will be scrapped."
Member 2: "You are sooo smart!"

Clarification: Said rule was ignored long long long ago, THEN ditched long long ago. Eric's further guidance stands.

Mentor: Help! The robot's attacking me! Get me out of here!
Student: Quick! We need the jaws of life! Oh wait, those are part of the robot, too. Well, I guess you're not getting out of there anytime soon.

[NPOE] Ah, thanks guys. If for nothing else than my one pity point [/NPOE]
After transplanting a mentor's body onto the robot, 1676 finally had success with Autonomous mode - until Thursday's inspection: The mentor was too old to compete, his value exceeded the $3500 BOM limit, and there was a weight issue...:rolleyes:
