CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #499

[EricH]

Hunting new freshmen: While one team member (far left) distracts the prospects, another waits with a T(ranquilizer)-shirt cannon.

It's interesting. You can actually tell out of those 6 kids who would actually build the robot and who would sit back and eat Cheese-its.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

OK, here is the standard vision system test. Find the one bag of Cheetos and then distinguish between the large white stripes and the small white stripes. Ready, set, Go!

FIRSTer: "Come to our meeting, we'll have Cheetos, Pepsi, t-shirt cannons, inner tubes, robots, math and science, you'll get out of school and have lots of fun!"

Kid on right: "You had me at Cheetos."

[rsisk]

The kids were in awe as Tim demonstrated using a picture of a game controller on his tshirt to drive the robot

[Taylor]

The kid on the right has some real motivation - he's close, but not quite. It's pizza and Mt Dew, not Cheetos and Pepsi.

[GaryVoshol]

How'd you get them to look at the robot when there's a cannon in the background?

[Wayne Doenges]

Six students came to see a robot build
All they saw was a tube being filled

[Jim Wilks]

Getting 6 kids to come see a demo - good
Getting their attention away from the guy with the shiny gold necklace - better
Getting them to ignore the T-shirt cannon -excellent
Getting them to focus entirely on a guy filling a tube - priceless!

[cgmv123]

If you can make the robot work, you get to keep it!

[DonRotolo]

OK kids, now focus real hard on the arm pivot here....
(tip of arm grabs soda and snack)
Yoink!

[Grey Mann]

FIRST guy demoing to the kids: Now if you take a good look at this bolt underneath the third L-bracket from the left behind this sheet of plastic...
Random Kid in the audience: Cheetoscheetoscheetoscheetoscheetoscheetoscheetos etc. etc.
T-shirt cannon guy telepathically communicating with his team HQ: Tranquilizer-laced titanium net cannon primed and ready for firing, awaiting your command.

[JohnFogarty]

Pay no mid to the man with one hand on the cannon. Nothing to see here, move along.
