As always, the deadline is nominally Saturday at midnight Eastern. If you're attending the Palmetto Regional, I'll also accept your entry in person; look in the 2815 and 1398 pits. (Write it down for optimal results.)

Go!

"Uhh, guys? The refs just told us that all those wins we had..."
"Yeah, what?"
"We've been given a red card in all of them."
"WHAAAAAT!!!!????"
"And we can't compete anymore unless we ditch the hats."
"WHAAAATTT?? WHYYYYYYYYY?"
"Yeah, he said something about all the other alliances complaining about not being able to see while we were wearing them."
"Now how are we supposed to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?" "Can't be the hats--it must be the robot!"

33 Ringers on the Rack, 33 Ringers
Take one down, pass it around
32 Ringers on the Rack

Do we really need to go all the way to 1?

Who's up for Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock?

The good news is - they match.
But, as luck would have it, they have their pants on backwards.

Hey guys? You know what chicks love more than robotics nerds?
Robotics nerds with cool hats!
And you know what chicks love even more that that?
Robotics nerds with cool hats with impeccable fashion sense!

Wanting to maximize their luckiness output, this drive team brought their clover covered good luck hats. Unfortunately, they didn't realize that none of the clovers had four leaves.

[npoe] I know the limerick's bad [/npoe]

There once were three guys that found
That they didn't want the inspector to wound
Up having to say
That their robot does way
One hundred and fifty pounds

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #298
 

Hats? What hats? Oh, you mean THESE hats? Well how else can we get more than 65 pounds of upgrade parts into the pits?

So THIS is where the GDC got the idea for the Lunacy targets...

After years of vicious attacks by autonomous robots, 2009 was finally the first opportunity these spirited youngsters had to show their St. Patrick's Day pride without injury.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #298
 

Sure Billfred, if you have your drive team wear hats like this we guarantee that you'll have enough luck to make it to eliminations for sure. Heck, you'll probably make it to the semis.

Billfred: OK, I'll try anything after that first regional.

<some time later>

Billfred: Well I'll be, it works. I wonder if I can get the whole team to wear them so that we have enough luck to make the finals. I hope nobody else finds out about this.
