As always, the deadline is nominally Sunday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

[EricH]

Student: Ooh, shiny!!
Mentor *thinking*: Now, how do I get him to step onto the catapult? I got him here, but all he can think about is the bumpers!

[frcguy]

"Maybe if I stare at it long enough our robot will actually work"

[GaryVoshol]

Mentor: But what happens if in Week 2 they replace the cloth and bar with hanging strips of plastic?

[bdaroz]

Student: Who put the blue roller on with the red bumper and rail set?

Mentor: What? We have a blue rail set?!?

Student: Yeah, this way the bot will be all red or all blue, and it only takes a few extra minutes to change it out! Great, right?


Narrator: The mentor successfully resists the urge to double facepalm.

[mastachyra]

"So, Dr. Robot, that's what lead to my nervous breakdown..."

*Train Horn*

"Times up already? I still haven't told you about my daddy issues!"

[ctt956]

Photographer: "Our robot is finished! I'm going to get a picture for CD!"
Mentor: "It looks finished, but FRC robots are never finished. What have we left off of it?"
Student: "I don't know...I think we actually finished it, but I know we didn't. There must be something other than wrinkled bumpers we left out...Hey, I think there's food behind us!"

[logank013]

"My fingers taste good... like chicken fingers"
-Mentor on the left behind the robot

[Hitchhiker 42]

Mentor: Why did you decide to color the robot a color that doesn't match with neither red nor blue?

[efoote868]

Mentor: Mmm. This sauce taste delicious
Student: Did anyone see my paste?

[Bkeeneykid]

The face after one of the rookies let out the magic smoke.

[JustinCAD]

He's wondering how to add a little yellow and green on there to make it a rainbow robot. Once he has that, maybe there's a chance for a pot a gold at the end - the blue banner.

[GeeTwo]

Mentor thinking: Now that we've built it, what else can it do? ... Hmm, what if we pull a page out of the Ultimate Ascent book and score the last boulder in the high goal after we scale -- ok, three extra points .. Any way we could use the cylinders to jump the defenses, like Speed Racer?

[Zealii]

Mentor: So we finished to robot, but we forgot to design for getting the robot out the door. What to do?

[Gravity]

Systematically chewing off all your fingers is a great way to get out of doing your work.
