[Koko Ed]

Team 1597 concluded that telekinesis may be a bit ambitious drive system for the FIRST robotics competition. Unfortunately they had to go all the way to the championship to realize that.

[Rich Wong]

Robot: "Cheer up, it really was not your fault.
We all play a part in this lost.
I will take full responsibility for the 30 point penalty.
Let's go back to the pit and pack me up.
Can you push me?"

[Jay H 237]

1597 failed to compete at the Championships due to the fact the lack of sleep from build season finally caught up with thier driver just as they were getting ready for thier match.

[KathieK]

In a major restructuring effort, IBM Research division reported today that they have rented space in a large venue and downsized their staff significantly...

[Andrew Blair]

After a long, heartfelt talk, the two decided their relationship just wasn't going anywhere.

[Arefin Bari]

The kid: You got me so tired today. I am going to take a nap.

ROBOT: grrrr... is that why you put me up on this cart so I can't move?

The Kid: YUPPPPP!!! ::snore::

[artdutra04]

Robot: ...

Kid: Okay! I promise I won't forget your battery ever again!

Robot: ...

Kid: Can we still be friends? Pleeeaaasssseeee?

Robot: ...

Kid: Alright, alright. So I'll get you an anodized frame next year...

[nehalita]

Not everyone can be a robot.
Truth Hurts.

Even wearing an armband on his left hand to remember which was which, the kid still had to spend several minutes staring at the bewildering control layout before each match to remember which thing did what. Hey, with three joysticks and who knows how many buttons, sometimes it can be hard!

[Wayne Doenges]

Entry #1: Team 1597's driver was so weak from lack of sleep he decided to take a nap. When he woke up, everyone had most of their robots packed and the pits cleaned up.

Entry #2: Student on phone; "Yes mom, I packed my pajamas. No mom, I'm not going to eat any junk food. Yes mom, I'm having fun. Mom, I have to go, they just called our team to the arena. Bye mom"

[Andy Baker]

"Ok.... God... I've put all I have into this robot. I could use some help. Do you know this Archimedes guy? Well... we are playing on a field named after him here in Atlanta. You see, we're up against this robot from Hammond, Indiana the next match. I hear that they are pretty good. If you can sway a tetra or two our way, I sure would appreciate it."

[Greg Needel]

Entry 1:Team 1597 demonstrated their confidence at the championship by cuing for the Einstein field early Thursday.


Entry 2: Someone needs to tell team 1597 that they need to win their way to the Einstein field and not just show up and expect to be in the national finals.

[Taylor]
