Landmines have disabled more robots than the E-stop buttons have. Purple ones are exceptionally dangerous, as seen here.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #386

You know the rules! Don't try to balance your robot on the game pieces, or something bad will happen! :yikes:

I hate when we get to competition and we find out we put the wheels on the wrong side...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #386

Sort of reminds me of the famous scene in the movie "CARS" when Luigi and Guido meet the Ferrari. No words are necessary.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #386

The robot played the role of drive coach and pointed the other drivers towards the scoring area.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #386

If only Team Voltage had listened to tonight's EWCP podcast on drive trains, they would have known that the wheels go on the bottom of the robot.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #386

The drivers for Team Voltage didn't quite understand the coach when he warned that they might trip a breaker.

Instead, they heard "trip and break her"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #386

Team Voltages' electrical team thought it would be funny to demonstrate the true meaning of the words "Voltage Drop."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #386

Bystander: "Hey, are those the new AndyMark pneumatic wheels?"
Driver: "Sure, wanna see 'em?"

Coach: "While I appreciate your enthusiasm, next time let's show off the drivetrain IN THE PIT!"

Voltage makes a pointed effort to leave this match to S.P.A.M. and PINK

Well, that's the last time we will EVER try an "evasive maneuver."

Team 386 thought that by using a pyramid, they would have everlasting sucess. Little did they know that their robot, like the pyramids would fall.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #386

But the really amazing thing is how long the robot stayed on the robotic bull before it fell to the ground. Even the robotic rodeo clowns were impressed.

386's innovative "Pointer Bot", which helps direct the vision-challenged drive team towards the goal.

[NPOE]I see Katie only got -1/2 Infinity, so either Billfred is admitting to being old (or maybe half-old?) or he is a true mathematical prodigy by demonstrating for miss-smarty-pants that a rational fraction of Infinity is still Infinite.[/NPOE]

Rest of team: Burn the witch!

This picture is a fake, there arent enough screaming fans in the stands to make it a real FIRST event.

Engage Flag Mode!

How can we start the match while still being under the 60" height requirement?

Now THAT brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'Dropped Voltage' ;)

And that's when Voltage electrified the fans.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #386

Driver: I'm sorry I tipped the robot over. What's that written on the bottom of the bot? "If you can read this, thank your driver." Ha Ha, very funny."
