Nope, I have nothing to do with the game design committee, other than posting in those threads. I get tormented by Dave just as much as anybody...well, except Heidi. I imagine that between proximity and her hobbies, she gets a little more tormenting from Dave.

</obvious non-entry>

Guy: Tell me why we are doing this again?
Girl: Because Billfred dropped a hint about making a robot that can change lightbulbs. I figured that we should take the hint, since he is on the GDC and he should know.

<obviously not an entry> One side of me wants to be especially freaked out at this entry. Another side wants to think this is a conspiracy by Dave to make everyone else get -infinity in this contest, as that perpetual hounding about the upcoming game would obviously violate The OTHER Heidi Foster Rule.

Another side, however, thinks Dave is being serious, and I'm on the Game Design Committee without even knowing it. If that's the case, someone please catch me up to speed--my email is leveretw at the domain of mailbox dot sc dot edu

Team 1018's new robot uses a clock work mechanism but it always seems to fail when the arm is fully raised. This makes the wind-up key very hard to get to.

[Goober!!!]

Girl: ok if we can be HP i think we can reach it with a tetra and we can just easily drop the tetra on a goal!!!
Guy: that sounds like a good idea but we need a long coat so that we can look as one!!!

[Elgin Clock]

Here we see further proof that household robots are becoming more and more practical and more widely available to consumers.
This model shown, the XMAS-1018 is designed to put that pesky hard to reach star and/or angel on your tree during the holiday season.

[artdutra04]

Girl: I can almost reach it... Just a little further... A tad bit more... I'm sooo close...

Guy in back [to himself]: This is fun. Maybe I should continue to 'accidentially' nudge the "up" button.

[Travis Hoffman]

1018's '05 robot was rather reluctant to give up its end effector for use as a propeller on the team's entry in the 2006 water-based competition.

[MissInformation]

Guy: I know there's a thread somewhere on Chief Delphi that says this is the proper way to pick up a girl at a robotics event.

<not an entry> Billfred, if by tormenting you mean Dave sticking his tongue out at someone then yes, I've been tormented a lot. (I can't believe I forgot to post that picture on line!) <not an entry>

[tiffany34990]

Girl: it's just soo pretty i must find a way to touch...

Guy: geez why am i doing this... i rather be home playing on my computer not being a chair...

[Gary Dillard]

/[not part of entry] update on the "Gary Dillard rule, Wilma edition" - still no power (or internet) at home, but I've got it here at work. I lost some roof tiles and had some big gashes in the plywood protecting my windows, had to wait in line 2 hours for gas this morning, but of course my biggest concern was that I wouldn't be able to get an entry into the caption contest this week. /[not part of entry]

We dedicate this competition to the memory of Rachel, who made the ultimate sacrifice by flinging herself on top of our driver to protect him from the robot when it went crazy during developmental testing.

[EddieMcD]

"What do you mean it's manually operated?!?"

[Billfred]

Still waiting on that email, Dave.
