*before the picture*
Hapless rookie: "When I presented my idea, I didn't expect a sort of Spanish Inquisition."

*loud noise*
"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!! Our chief weapons are fear and surprise! You are arrested for thinking outside the box! How do you plead?"

Now-terrified rookie: "Umm... innocent!"

"Ha! Ha! We shall soon change your mind about that! Cardinal, the Tetra! Now, how do you plead?"

Rookie: "Innocent! I was thinking outside the tetra!"

(with apologies to Monty Python)

Can't we think of a better way for the human player to get the tetra to the robot?

News Reporter:

"...but luckily, this season FIRST reported only 259 robot related injuries...and a very rare case of a Tetraphobic breakdown"

(Yes I know what tetraphobia really is)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #220

My God! It's the Hunchback of Tetra Dame.

or it could be another FIRST Great Movie Re-enactment with the student as Igor (Eye Gor) and the Mentor as Dr. Frankenstein

Mentor, "You know I'm a rather gifted surgeon. Perhaps I can help you with that hump."

Student, "What Hump?"

-Young Frankenstein
