CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #265

[GaryVoshol]

Can you imagine the fund-raising that team had to do to get to the Championship?

[MissInformation]

As an absentee father, Darth never did build a healthy relationship with Luke, so he decided to try harder with his younger son... "Billfred... who's your daddy..."

[Al Skierkiewicz]

It just goes to show you that even a master of the dark side of the Force can't protect himself from flying debris in the pits. In actuality this is scene from an upcoming movie "The Force meets FRC", but you know the ending.

[Cynette]

While the prototype of the death ray goggles seemed awkward to Vader, he was surprised at how easily they allowed him to move around the robot development proving grounds.

[Travis Hoffman]

At last, it was revealed to all that all green shirts are actually Dark Lords of the Sith in disguise.

Here we see their leader with a public service threat...er....announcement for all the non-compliant little FRC kiddies out there:

*Shakes fist menacingly* "You don't know the POWERRRRRRRRRRRR....of the Underwriters Laboratories FRC Safety Advisors!"

[Wayne Doenges]

Clark Kent/Superman: "If you put on these glasses no one will recognize you. I've been doing it for years and no one has caught on."
Skywalker/Vader: "OK, I'll give it try."
Little kid: "Mister, have you seen Darth Vader?"
Skywalker/Vader: "I think he's over by the concession stand."
*Little kid walks off*
Skywalker/Vader: "Wow these really work."

[bobwrit]

*Vader walks up to a teams pit*
Vader: What does this do *starts playing with the electronics*
Team:NOOOOO!
Vader: What?*shorts battery, magic smoke from arm*
Vader: I thought these things were supposed to protect me!?!?!?!
*Team Facepalm*

[Chris is me]

In an alternate Star Wars universe, Darth Vader became angry and irritable after his cool mask failed OSHA inspecion, leading him on the path toward the Dark Side.

[Daniel_LaFleur]

Vader: "I find your lack of safety ... disturbing"

[Karibou]

So THIS is what happens when you join the GDC.

Those safety glasses are permanent, by the way.

[Joe G.]

"I've been to the Dark Side. They LIE about that "Use the force to deflect metal chips" thing"

[Billfred]

Ha, it's still Sunday!

Vader: What? Never! I wasn't there for the competition. I was just, uh...scouting about to see if there were any good battle robot designs for another bid to take over the gal-

(Sauron leans over the Joker's shoulder to see the photo)

Sauron: Vader! Are those...those aren't safety googles, are they?

Vader: Silence! They wouldn't let me in without them.

(Joker and Sauron burst into laughter)

Vader thinking to himself: Curse you FIRST. At this rate Voldemort is going to be calling me for tech support. My reputation as a super-villain is RUINED! RUINED!!!!!!!
