CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #209

[Billfred]

It's a brand new year!

Normally, the scores would go here. But, since there aren't any due to the new year starting, I'll substitute the rules:

The rules:
-I am never ever gonna be eligible, unless I change the rule just before handing over control of the game to someone else.
-If it's your image I pick, you're not eligible.
-If you suggest an image and I pick it, you're not eligible.
-Entries will be scored by me on originality, or in the absence of that, dry humor.
-First place gets ten points, second gets five, honorable mentions will be awarded at my whims.

Traditionally, roughly half of the entries receive a two-point honorable mention, and one particularly good zinger received the burn award, good for three points. The remainder receive a single point.

There have been some updates to the rules over the years:

Due to the fact that the state of Florida seems to get walloped with a hurricane every other week, the deadline for all caption contests shall be extended to 9 PM on Friday. Furthermore, any contestant may request in the event of an emergency or natural disaster for the next caption contest to be posted up to 47 hours before Billfred originally planned on it.

Preventing anyone from entering the caption contest by means of any feat of engineering is prohibited. This rule shall not apply if both the victim and Billfred are laughing after the act has been committed.

If, for whatever reason, Billfred is working on a job on a day he has to post or judge a caption contest, he reserves the right to fudge the posting or judging by one day in either direction.

No person may kidnap, threaten, or otherwise cause harm or mental distress to Billfred in order to influence the outcome of a caption contest.

At certain times, should Billfred be pwned by a contestant, he may, at his sole discretion, assign a score of -infinity to that contestant. Points still accumulate as normal, but the -infinity score will remain posted until Billfred either lets off or forgets to add the -infinity score again.

Anyone except Billfred can enter the caption contest, even if it's their picture.

If, in Billfred's judgement, he will be unable to administer the caption contest for a week, he may select one contestant to temporarily run the contest, including picture selection and judging. Since that contestant can't enter their own contest, they will receive their average score multiplied by the number of weeks they run the contest, rounded off.

Since then, the only thing that's changed is the deadline: Saturday at midnight Eastern, though entries posted afterward will count if they're posted before I open the thread to score it.

With that, here is the picture:

Go!

[Greg Needel]

Team 675's compressor was never in the Kit of parts and the team resorted to creating gas the old fashioned way....eating greasy foods.

It was to no surprise that their robot earned the name "stinky" for the season.

[Lions for First]

you know you are way to involved in FIRST when you cant even eat without trying to build a robot to do it for you

[BlondeNerd]

Once the Kitty of Parts was implemented, sustenance had to be provided to get it through the season.

[GaryVoshol]

Don'tcha just hate those hard-to-open containers of BBQ sauce? Tin snips to the rescue!

[Joe G.]

After recieving an incorrect order from Bimba just days before ship, team 675 needed plenty of power for their calorie powered cylinder-stretching operation.

[DonRotolo]

The five major food groups: Burgers, Butter, Pneumatics, Tools and Peanuts.


[NPOE: Woo Hoo! In the top ten for the 2007-08 season! And a Bridesmaid to boot!]

[Dan Petrovic]

Students will work to the wee hours of the morning, fearlessly brandishing a cordless drill with their largest bit, trying to reduce weight. However, whenever the option to increase their own weight arrives, students are helpless.

The Snacker-based robot had been called crazy, even impossible by some. Unfazed team 675 plowed ahead in what would go down as FIRST's most delicious disaster.

[Travis Hoffman]

Yum.....tastes like piston.

[tim_reiher]

Hmm... hmmmmmmmmmmmm... Okay, now I remember, guys. We were gonna... wait a sec... nah, I lost it again. Let's just eat the burgers. I told you they were gonna be more useful than the pistons.

[Mike Schroeder]

team 675 getting an early start on the 2008-09 game.... build a mobile burger launching platform to launch burgers into Big Mike's Mouth

[lingomaniac88]

Suspecting that the robots will be meat-powered for next year's game, team 675 is preparing by stockpiling as many ground beef patties as it can.

[Wayne Doenges]

Team 675 was afraid that the regional officials would be stricter on bring food into the venue so they came up with a plan. We listen in on the conversation. Their names were concealed to protect the guilty.
Ch 1: "OK, carefully open the BBQ sauce and pour it into the gas cyclinders. This will make a great dispenser. Next, take the hamburgers out of there wrapping and cut them to fit into the BBQ sauce containers."
Ch 2: "Won't they ask about the BBQ sauce?"
Ch 1: "We'll just tel them we plan on doing a mock first aid drill and we use the sauce to simulate blood."
Ch 2: "OK"
