As always, the deadline remains theoretically Saturday at midnight.

Go!

365's latest fundraiser, "Trackball Bowling", was canceled after some bright pre-freshmen pointed out the possibility that they'd have to do a LOT more fundraising to make anything off of it after the lawsuits.

They are now trying to raise money by renting out their trackball to martial-arts studios as a practice target.

[Taylor]

RED AL-LI-ANCE!!

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Fool me once shame on me....

[GaryVoshol]

New FRC sponsor Marx wanted a tie-in with their product, so here we see human players for the 2009 game, Rock'm Soc'm Robots. (The third alliance HP is off fishing.)

[ATannahill]

The trackball got stuck in the chimney of Dave's house. Apparently Mission-Fill-Dave's-House-With-Useless-Hints-Of-Who-Hates-His-Useless-Hints did not go over well. Here we see his nephews interrogating it as to who committed the foul deed.

[lingomaniac88]

Santa: Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas! I come bearing gifts!
Kids: Yay!
(The kids open the gift, only to see that it's the third game hint.)
Kids: Wait a minute... you're not Santa! You're Dave Lavery! GET HIM!
(They attack Dave.)
Dave: Darn it, I knew I shouldn't have used the trackball as the fake stomach...

[BlondeNerd]

They fit in the box, they passed inspection, they even have colored bumpers. They just don't have the concept of hurdling quite right

[DonRotolo]

The Oompa-loompas prepare to juice the biggest snozzberry they've ever seen.

[EricS-Team180]

"What shall we do?", said Thing 1 to Thing 2

[flyingcrayons]

Kid 1-"giant red ball! Prepare for battle!"
Kid 2- " Wait, no no, i think we should build a robot to pick up the ball, and carry it around, and maybe throw it over an overpass!"

Dave Lavery standing in the background- "Hmmmm... that sounds like a great idea for a game! Time to start tormenting the FIRSTers! Hehehehe"

[Barry Bonzack]

I know I keep hearing that "The first person on Mars is currently between the ages of 6 and 16," but isn't this type of training beginning a bit too early?

[Wayne Doenges]

Boy #1; "What is that thing?'
Boy #2: "I don't know, but I will fight it while you get away."
Boy #1: "What do you mean!?!? You're the weaker one."
Boy #2: "Am not!"
Boy #1: "Are too!"
Boy #2: "AM NOT!!!"
*the two boys begin to scuffle*
Red Trackball thinks to self 'My evil plan is workng'

[JaneYoung]

Off to the side:

Parent one: Thank goodness for FIRST. It keeps those busy minds active.
Parent two: Yup, gives them something to bounce their ideas off of.
Parent three: Not to mention themselves.

Children about to mimic their hero, the trackball surfer, Andy Baker: 3 2 1 - GO!

[Steve W]

Future FRCers using virtual joysticks to control large red ball. It seems by their facial expressions that they are well on there way to being consumed by the passion.
