Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #379

We decided to throw ourselves into robotics. Unfortunately, for the car, FIRST is the hardest fun you will ever have. Results shown.

Sometimes, even Chief Delphi gets sick of robots and looks at other things instead.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #379

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #379

Don't worry, its ok. The car has the word "safe" wrote on it. Go on about your business.

So begins the futile search for usable COTS parts.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #379

By "minor repairs," they mean duct tape, WD-40, and zip ties. That stuff really DOES work...
