(There was a part of me that was about to go with a kiss-the-pig photo, but I decided it might be too soon.)

As always, the deadline is theoretically kinda sorta not really Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

[ATannahill]

a robot that i dont own, and could potentially beat me in later matches, better be graciously careful

[EricH]

"Maybe it'll work better if I get some help...

Hey, Rhode Warriors! Can I borrow your robot? I need to move a robot here!"

[Lions for First]

the most fearsome (yet gracious) thing i've ever seen they will be unstopable

[DonRotolo]

The moment it was announced that Grant would be driving, everyone in the stadium fled in a panic , leaving the seats eerily empty...


Don
[npoe]Oooh, a tie! Again![/npoe]

[Dan Petrovic]

"Wait... which way is front?"

[JaneYoung]

Whoa! Man, I got to get me one of these!

[GaryVoshol]

Grant has been in so many publications, he no longer poses for the camera. Here we had to be satisfied with a shot of the back of his head.

[Taylor]

Attention K-Mart shoppers: Blue Light Special in Aisle 4 on Tumbleweeds. Get them while they last.

[Carlee10]

Uh-oh...........the Robowranglers are going to kill me.......I think I see blue Smoke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. . . . Oh wait, thats just the reflection of the light...........crud.

[Wayne Doenges]

Grant: "When I push the joystick forward the robot goes backwards."
John: That's ok. It just means you are right brain dominant. A left brain dominant driver would see the robot going in the right direction. We just have to hang you upside-down.
*Grant gets picked up and turned over. He pushes the stick forward*
Grant: "That's much better but now I'm getting dizzy."

[Barry Bonzack]

"I am JVN."

[Karibou]

Grant, prior to driving: "Me? Drive? Little circle thing? No problem."

Grant, after driving: "WHOA. I have a whole new opinion on circles. Sorry guys, I'll stick to driving rectangles and squares. At least you know which way is forward."

[acdcfan259]

Grant - So what happens if I push this button?
JVN - NO!!
*Tumbleweed transforms into red and black Half-Track*
Grant - Oh...

[Joe G.]

The name "Tumbleweed" was developed when, immediatly after this picture, Grant glanced 1983's robot, causing tumbleweed to tip, roll, and bounce around the field. Other potential names included superball, rubberbot, and Mars rover EDL 2.0
