Team 237's shameless attempts to attract Nike as a corporate sponsor proved futile; According to Elgin, "If only we could have grabbed the big balls, things would have been different."

The funny thing is that we DO have a mentor we nicknamed Guido - Well, actually he gave himself that nickname, but it still is funny.
It would be even more funny if he were a mentor on the programming team, and not the mechanical team.

Also, the funny thing about that day, was that we did this at a D.A.R.E. day event, and the kids enjoyed it this sight so much, the 4 cops that were standing in the vicinity, and also watching from a distance, had grins on their faces. I was expecting them to yell at us, but they were cool about it.

I also agree since that would help my average score and hopefully make me as funny as Gary Dillard. As close as that was I still think that 116's chairmans award was more impressive, with only 10 seconds to spare. (I am only waiting to think of something funny before I post an entry)

And at the end of the day, the 237 robot was left hanging, still waiting for the alli-oupe from Dave Lavery. His excuse - he heard there was a new Krispy Kreme store opening.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #34

<obviously not an entry>

Actually Gary, you technically have the lead in the contest, by virtue of having a higher average score. Now, if you two had the same average score, then technically you'd still be listed over Heidi (G comes before M in the alphabet), but I'd be calling it a tie.

And Gary and Richard, don't forget The Heidi Foster Rule.</non-entry of obviousness>

It's better to build a robot and lose a match than to have ever played basketball at all.

When Jessica told Team 237 that she needed them to "hang around for a while," I'm not sure that this was what she had in mind...

What is considered means of engineering? Also Gary when I get the video clip, I will start a thread on my attempt (i mean the robots attempt) to take out Heidi. But note even my own attempts, being and inside source failed so I guess it can't be done.
