5 minutes after the start of the race:

"I don't get it. The robot didn't move."
"Yeah, the program should have gone down the track twice now!"
"Hey, you did put the program on the robot right?"
"PROGRAMMING PROBLEM!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #544

Sorry about the delays, y'all. A week of FLL practices every single night and then a long day at the qualifier set me way back on work. In the name of expediency, I'll post the updated scores later--it's after midnight here, and I've still got more to do!

First place goes to:

Honorable mentions go to:

1) Wayne Doenges
2) DonRotolo
3) Jim Wilks
4) MARS_James

And the burn award goes to:

Scores later. Onward!
