*before the picture*
Hapless rookie: "When I presented my idea, I didn't expect a sort of Spanish Inquisition."

*loud noise*
"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!! Our chief weapons are fear and surprise! You are arrested for thinking outside the box! How do you plead?"

Now-terrified rookie: "Umm... innocent!"

"Ha! Ha! We shall soon change your mind about that! Cardinal, the Tetra! Now, how do you plead?"

Rookie: "Innocent! I was thinking outside the tetra!"

(with apologies to Monty Python)

"...but luckily, this season FIRST reported only 259 robot related injuries...and a very rare case of a Tetraphobic breakdown"

My God! It's the Hunchback of Tetra Dame.

or it could be another FIRST Great Movie Re-enactment with the student as Igor (Eye Gor) and the Mentor as Dr. Frankenstein

Mentor, "You know I'm a rather gifted surgeon. Perhaps I can help you with that hump."

Student, "What Hump?"

-Young Frankenstein

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #220

This is what happens to programmers when the robot doesn't work properly.


<kinda sorta not part of entry>
Programmer (in tetra): "But it's a mechanical problem, I swear!"
Team member from the mechanical team: "RIGHT, just blame it on us, why don't you. EVERYONE knows that the code is where it all comes down. You're supposed to account for whatever errors that we make, so therefore it's you're fault."
Programmer: "But--"
Mechanical team member: *raises tetra higher*
Programmer: "OK OK OK, IT'S MY FAULT!"
Mechanical team member: *lowers tetra to the ground*
*programmer falls out of tetra*
</ksnpoe>

<really npoe>
No offense was meant towards programmers in this caption. I just needed someone to put in the tetra xD I was GOING to have a rookie be in there (AS. A. JOKE.), but I'm afraid that one would see it and be scared off xD </npoe>

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #220

Late in the build season, this overworked team member tragically mistook a tetra for a mountain dew bottle. Fortunately, however, this bizarre exoskeleton will serve as a great roll cage for next year's game's human player, should FIRST take the racing game of last year to a new level...

<semi inside joke based on a true story, but still an entry>

That's your punishment for leaving the dump valve open on your drive system & losing us that all important 3rd finals match at the NJ Regional that year Mike!!
Muwhahahahaha!!!!

Now you have to explain yourself to the Tetra, & it's not as forgiving as I was!!!!

This is a scene from backstage at the WTWF World Tetra Wrestling Federation as participants practice some of their techiniques for caoches. Here you see the dreaded tetra full nelson being applied. Just out of camera range another tetra performs a full body slam.
