CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #81

[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?"

[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.

FIRST has decided to eliminate score penalties, instead offending teams/robots while be immediately directed to the "Timeout Chair" and "Bad Robot Cart".

[MissInformation]

Telekinesis (tĕl'ĭ-kə-nē'sĭs): the power to move something by thinking about it without the application of physical force.

Kid: "Must... get... robot... back...to... pit. Too... lazy... to... actually... push... it. Getting... bad... headache... from... concentrating... so... hard."

[Jay Trzaskos]

I mean, we only lost to Circuit Runners once, but why do i always get so sad when I walk my their chair art? Why?

48, 49, 50... Come out Come out, wherever you are. Guys? Guys? Dang it, I know I shouldn't have tried to get the rest of the drive team to play hide and seek before the finals.

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!

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."
