CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #379

[rachelholladay]

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

[Travis Hoffman]

Mark Plant's prior knowledge of crashing a moving thing into other moving things has become rather useful during his NASA Glenn internship, although having experienced the glorious carnage of such collisions firsthand, he does have to resist the urge to hold a demolition derby with their prototype rovers.

(true story)

[Cody Burd]

New episode of junk yard warriors

[DonRotolo]

The tragic results of Manchester's brief foray into "Extreme FRC"

[IndySam]

Darn programmers!

[Katie_UPS]

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

[S.P.A.M.er 17]

You know you have overdosed on FIRST when this is a result of a G33 violation.

[JaneYoung]

Mark: Have you guys seen my keys? I think I left them somewhere around here.

[J.Warsoff]

Mark, I think we should put the training wheels back on before you go test this thing again.

[EricS-Team180]

OK, that was fun, but next time we are definitely using mecanums!

[Q. Sheets]

This is why the referees started awarding teams red car(d)s when they didn't follow the rules.

[Molten]

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

[Bill_B]

So begins the futile search for usable COTS parts.

[Karibou]

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

[Billfred]

Apologies for the invocation of the Billfred Is Working Way Too Much Rule--after 10 hours with the team yesterday, I was hosed!
