CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #421

[Jim Wilks]

Once again, proof positive that there is a prize in every box.

[Dchandler]

They told me that I could become anything that I wanted. So I became the IRI Question Box.

New entry:

"Well, it's better than the LAST box I was in!"

[Wayne Doenges]

You spend hundreds of dollars on an educational toy and all they want to do is play with the box.

[Taylor]

New Entry:

Laugh if you want, but it's still bigger than the MTU dorm rooms.

Or even the one before it!

I guess I have a history with boxes...

Eager McBeaver Kara was ready to ask the question on everybody's mind, "Can we get to the first match already?"

[akoscielski3]

Jack in a box. FIRST Style!

Due to her inquisitive personality, IRI made a special question box, just for Kara. Needless to say, she never left.

[rachelholladay]

She looks pretty questionable to me. And it seems like the guy in the foreground agrees.

[EricS-Team180]

Kara: I know that everyone's here to play robot basketball, but I'd really like to try some boxing.

[Karibou]

After the match...
Head ref: "So, what's your question?"
Kara: "I submitted my caption contest entry for this week on a chunk of a ball. How am I supposed to top that next week?"

[Billfred]

Alright, here we go!

I have made it a habit to look inside these boxes near the end of the competition, because there is often gold (as in 'one man's treasure...') mixed in with the bits and pieces. Things like #35 master links, sensors, and other still-useful stuff.

I was at my first IRI this year and the reset crew, after finding Miss Kara on the field during reset one time too many, carried her into the junk box and told her (in a stern voice) to "stay". Shortly thereafter, along wanders Billfred with his cellphone to capture the aftermath, preserving the scene forever.

And now you know the rest of the story.
