CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #147

[Travis Hoffman]

The itsy-bitsy spider kid
approached the bot with doubt.
Down came the arm and freaked the spider out.
Up went the cries of "I'll sue!!!" from the mom,
and the itsy-bitsy spider kid was never rung again.

[Barry Bonzack]

Driveteam: steady...steady...
Coach: Nice and easy guys, if we screw this one up our team is hosed.
Driveteam: now lower....slowly... Got it!
Coach: Good practice. Now lets use the kid as a ramp.

[Rich Wong]

A text message received by Team 1523:
"Yo Team MARS!
How is everyone back in Jupiter, Florida.
My summer job at Wet-N-Wild Water Park is the best.
My duties are to load the young visitors at the Kiddie World with floaters.

The job is pretty easy and the tips are pretty good.
Soon I will have enough funds for my fare to the
Hawaii Regional in 2008.

Gotta Go! The line is queuing up outside.
Your 2007 robot.
PS- I would like an extra battery."

[EricH]

The problem with this picture is that the keeper is both too high and not deflated. Also, the robot seems to need a new auto mode. The green is still several feet away.

Cuteness won't save you when the robots attack

[efoote868]

No No No... It's ok. Its just a freshmen.

[EddieMcD]

"It's humiliating enough to be mistaken for an object called a rack. Then he ends up as 'Caption Contest Fodder'. ::sigh:: This kid's gonna have a tough life..."

[Stephi Rae]

MARS member: Okay kids, who wants a donut?
kid: I do!! I do!!
MARS member: okay stand right... here. now don't move!
(enter robot carrying donut)
kid: *huh?*
(robot rings kid)
MARS member: there ya go!!
kid: can I eat it?
MARS member: no
kid: can I keep it?
MARS member: no
kid: why?
MARS member: cuz
kid: why?
...(goes on for about 10 minutes)
MARS member: okay, next time we just grab a kid and make him stand there, no more of this donut crap.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Don't you just wonder about some of the mentor ideas to get an FLL team started?

[KathieK]

As an adult, people always assumed Keeper's Dad must've given him the nickname at birth, as in "This one's a keeper!"... Little did they know that it all started with a robot back in grade school...

[MissInformation]

Robot to rest of MARS team: He followed me home, can I keep him?

[Cuog]

And we wonder why FIRST isn't bigger, the group of kids standing around was a lot bigger, but most of the ones that didn't escape were already carried away.

[Billfred]

I know that I always say "It's still Sunday!" in this space...but it is, in fact, still Sunday.

First place goes to:
