CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #52

[Jay H 237]

Due to the lack of fundraising initiative, 116 was forced to travel by way of FedEx instead of United Airlines.

[KarenH]

Hey! What happened to the 2,000 boxes of Krispy Kremes I ordered??

[MissInformation]

Building a crate for robot: $500
Building a working robot: $3,000
Locking your students in a crate so that you can get some real work done: Priceless!

[EricH]

At least 1 dozen clowns in a circus VW has nothing on 17 clowning nerds in a crate, particularly if one of them is Heidi and they are all on Dave's team!

[Pat McCarthy]

According to the 2006 game manual, the pit crew must be shipped in a crate at the same time as the crate that contains the usual robot and batteries.

[spears312]

Thats wierd... Why does team 116 have two boxes sitting in their pit area?

[Daniel Brim]

116's crate might work better if they add a back...

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Team 116 demonstrates a new idea on keeping students involved. It might have worked but for one problem. Although the test failed it did spawn team rule #101, use of personal hygene products is encouraged for all team building events.

February 14, 2005 (one week before shipping deadline):

Team 116 Captain “Dave, Dave,…. What, what are we going to do?!
It is hopeless….
More than half the team is out sick…..
The transmission is not completed, autonomous mode is unfinished and the arm is only half done.
We are never going to make the ship date.”

Dave: “Hmmm…..
I hate to do this but I have no choice.
We have to breakout the BACKUP-Team 116.
Let's uncrate them now……”

Dave on one of his better days (his morning medication only lets him simultaneously express four of his multiple personalities - Snoop Dogg wannabe, slack-jawed yokel, high school freshman AIM addict, and NASA engineer):

"Y'all better dig out the wax from ur ears, yo - i didn't know my 'Think outside the bizzox' speech wood be so hard for u geniouses to comprehendizzle! Fo sheezy, get out o' there and get back to work, ppl!!!!! Wait......on second thought, get back in da crate, homies!

LOLOLOLOLOLOL............. ROTFLMAO............. Throw me a frickin' clone here! I'm outy, dangnubbit - I gotta change the tire on my house....TTYL!"

[Koko Ed]

Man these budget cuts are starting to cut really deep!

[Alex Cormier]

team 116 asks FIRST Q&A:
"Is it really that bad/illegal to ship teammates with the robot to get it finished?"

[Dorienne]

Dave: OKAY! You can't fool me! WHERE'S THE HIDDEN DOOR?!

[Dave Scheck]

After a lack of design ideas (and air), Team 116 decides to think outside of the box.

[EddieMcD]

Dave: "I thought Boxing Day was before kickoff..."
