CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420

[Aidan S.]

The hungry crowd assembling in the background thought an "Exploding Bacon Robot" meant something totally different...

[Jim Wilks]

Host: Up next we've got a member of a team that call themselves Exploding Bacon. I'm not sure I want to know what that means.

[Barry Bonzack]

The entire interview was a 1 hour segment on Brendan's success story through FIRST.

This is the frame where James popped out of no where, asked "Does anyone smell bacon?" and then left.


The host only questioned in his head how no one ever gets his memos of what "business formal" means.

*Family guy*

Diane simmons: "and now ollie williams with the weather"
Ollie Williams: " ITS EXPLODING BACON!"

[EricS-Team180]

Host: "next up: When Pigs fly: just an old saying? or the goal of some breakfast meat enthusiasts. ...When Oink goes BOOM! after the break"

[DonRotolo]

Mmmm. Bacon and Ham.

[Taylor]

Uh oh. When we went oink oink boom, we blew his hair clean off his head. Sorry 'bout that, Mr. Laningham.

[rachelholladay]

The viewership dropped dramatically when everyone realized that there was no bacon involved. Fortunately it was regained when everyone realized that robots were involved.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Ok, you guys keep telling me about a high school robotics team but everytime I ask you reply "Oink Oink Boom". I was beginning to think this is some rather bad 4H joke except everyone in the building keeps yelling "Boom!!!" when you do. I have seen 4H do some incredible stuff but I think this is a little out of their field of expertise.

[PAR_WIG1350]

Initially, IBM thought exploding bacon was an innovative new way to eat bacon, when they learned the truth, disappointment followed.

[JaneYoung]

Scott Laningham: So.. Bacon, what is the secret to your success?

James: Bacon.

Mr. Laningham: Yes, Bacon, what is the secret?

James: Bacon.

Mr. Laningham: Is there an echo in here?

James: Not yet but there will be...

Crowd: Oink Oink BOOM!!!!

Wendy: You just can't make this stuff up.

[Wayne Doenges]

Student on left: "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Student on right: "Yes, I wish they would turn down the lights, the glare is killing my eyes."

[Karibou]

*ball fires straight past the Scott Laningham's head*
Laningham: "Whaddya mean the robot mistook my head for a vision target!?"
Student: "Well..."

[Billfred]

It's still Sunday!

Host: How does your robot work?
Students: Don't ask us.
Host: How did it perform this season?
Students: We don't know:
Host: [Frustrated] You wouldn't happen to know how that camera works, would you?
Students: Light goes through the lens and strikes a CCD light detector. The detector detects red, green and blue light. The light data is converted into bits. Those bits are sent via and SDI wire to the truck by switching between a high and low state 1.5 billion times a second. Wait, why do you want to know?
Host: I wanted to know if you knew how to turn it off.
