Galileo's Grief

[Marc P.]

It was a late April afternoon in the shop. The Robo Wizards (522) were called Miracle Workerz (365) for their ability to get Mor Torq (1515) from the Gearbox Gangstaz (1648). Against Astro-Nomical (977) odds, these Masters of Machinery (930) used magnets made of Element 945 (945) in a motor to use High Voltage (231) to obtain more RPM (514), which the Technotics (546) used to get more Horsepower (801). Entech (281)'s Techengineers (334) had figured out that TJ^2 (88) was really equal to B^3 (1261), a hidden magnetic property of that special element. But all was not well in FIRST land...

The Navi-Gators (1250) thought anyone who could build a Roboto (447) like that was a LuNaTeC (316). Their leader, Miss Daisy (341) insisted the Enforcers (178) step in to prevent those Warlocks (1507) from defying the laws of physics. She soon had the sky covered with both Killer Kardinals and Cardinals (136/811), Robo Griffins (304), Robohawks (346), Robotic Iron Eagles (358/1219) from Eagle Robotics (399), Firebirds (433), and Falcons (1626). Fortunately, the Noblemen (1137), with Asimov's O'Fallon Knights (1208) were there to summon a formidable defense of Gila Monsters (64), Scorpions (714), Minotaurs (1369), Roboticats (758), Wildcats (843), Panthers (1108), and Cougars (1403). There was no doubt- This Tribe (224/237) was One TUFF Team (203). The Cybercrusaders (272) and Cybersonics (103) feared an Eaglestrike (114) was in the Wild Cards (151). Their Stuypulse (694) quickened as a Flashback (168) of The Beast (587) from Port Perry (1006) reminded them to proceed with Caution (1492). The EARTH Squad (618) (or so the group of cats, monsters, and scorpions became known as) didn't want to be the Sault Instigators (1596), so they prepared to defend an assault from the Raging C-Biscuits (1280) let by Hella's Angels (650).

No one was prepared for what came next. Raider Robotix (25) joined up with the Robo Raiders (75) and Thrashers (563). They came like a tsunami in a sunset, an Orange Tide (294) of Cheesy Poofs (254) sweeping with a Gael Force (126), spreading like Wildfire (989) all over Westtown (1391). Members of Baldwin Robotics (1546) phoned the Swat team (824) who then called in the Baxter Bomb Squad (16) to use Sie-H20-Bots (237) to put out any Sparkys (384) which could be Kil-A-Byte (1024) bombs. It was Natural Selection (1708) at it's best.

The Near North Student Robotics Initiative (1305) quickly became aware of the RobbeXtreme situation (56). They consulted ChiefDelphi (47) for some much needed advice. He said to listen for the Truck Town Thunder (68), for not far behind shall roll The Chargers (604/894) and Rhode Warriors (121) led by Gompei and the Herd (190), from McTEC FIRST (1050) on the planet Team Mercury (1089). They shall defeat Las Guirrillas (469) with the help of the Nonnebots (38) and Titans (492) and once again restore peace and Gracious Professionalism to the competition.






(I couldn't find the team names of 1167, 1590, or 1675... if anyone knows them, let me know and I'll add them in!)
