CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #55

[Denman]

Student:AAAAHHH Its so Bright
JN:Yes, its a safety feature. Like a lighthouse of sorts.

[N/a]This was at nyc... i noticed quite a few nyc teams posting in response lol

[Meredith343MiM]

What Mr. John Neun never told anyone about his inspections- he didn't pass everyone because he felt nice, or their robots were in order... nope... he passed them since he had no idea what the papers said because of the apparant glare.

[not an entry] billfred- i refuse to be a loser! [not an entry]

[EricS-Team180]

...and about that highly polished dome protecting your FRC...
I can't see anything in the rules to dis-allow it....hmmm... And, for some reason <shakes head> it seems so oddly familiar!

[Daniel Brim]

As an extra safety feature, NYC pit administration was handing out tinted safety glasses to all competitors.

I must say that collectively, this week's entries have been the funniest I've ever read for one contest, I think. Mine pales in comparison to some of your truly devilish concoctions. Bravo.

The name "Neun" just brings out the best (or worst??) in public ridicule, I guess.

[JVN]

Amanda (to John): "Well... think of it this way, the future is looking bright!"

[JackN]

Yep now i have all the pieces to my super hair regrowth beam.

[Kyle Love]

*at a halloween store*
Clerk: "Attention customers! John Neun wigs now on sale! Complete your JVN set with the elder one!"
Me: "Mom I so need that!"
Clerk:" your total is $2.29 sir"
Me: "Isn't that wierd!"

[Ryan Foley]

Student to fellow team-mate: I thought they got rid of the rotating dome lights after 2002.
Mr. Neun: What are you looking at?!

[Goober!!!]

John "Ahhhhhh papers papers papers " throws them away "I dont like these papers the make me BALD"

[Gary Dillard]

I think you have me mistaken with my.... excuse me? You'd like to buy me dinner? Oh, well uh, thank you; I'm glad you liked my chassis kit.

[dlavery]

Look, I don't care what you say. Covering your robot with Rogaine will NOT get you extra brownie points with the judges!

[Billfred]

You know it's a big week when all the tabs in Firefox run off the screen.

Cough. Yes, I'm the real one.
I’m here to inspect your robot.

Ok... where are your calculations for maximum motor load.
I want to see the current draw vs. load torque diagrams.
Let me see your calculation for gearbox load.
Did you calculate the motor current draw and robot velocity over time?

Well sonny, I’m waiting…..

*Silence*

Sigh, Just as I thought.

You young JVN-Want-A-Be have it made these days.
When I was young, I build my own gearbox with my own two hands.
I was the best, I tell you, I was the best….

None of these silly prefabricated perpetual engines, virtual transmissions, and ionized-geometry sensors were available in the good old days. They’re for wimps. "

Mr. Neun - "Hmm., the only problem is your use of radioactive materials. Hold on, I know who you are Jay. You started that JVN is a dweeb thread on Chief Delphi. I guess I can let this hazerdous materials thing slide..."
Jay - Wow, thanks Mr. Neun!"
Mr. Neun - No problem, (writing on pad) 'inspection passed.' "
