Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #272

At a Philadelphia Regional planning committee:

Treasurer: "Listen, we're losing money, so we need to make some cutbacks. Why construct a full-size FRC field for over $10,000 when we can just use a net and light on a stick for $49.99?"

Team 272 finally perfected their Aim High bot in 2009, regrettably three years too late for the Atlanta Championships.
Moral of the story: Build seasons come and go, but procrastination is forever.

The net approach worked fine until they started testing their trackball mechanism... We're gonna need a new mentor too.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #272

I can't think of a good caption. This is merely to gain my 1 pity point Billfred bestows upon us noncreative folks. Hooray for participation! (I haven't decided if I want a medal or a pin.)

[not an entry]Once or twice I've gained lots of points by coming up with some throw-away line just to get my participation point, and Billfred somehow thinks it was profound or hilarious or something ...[/not an entry]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #272

It appears that the robot's vision camera accidentally locked on to the bright green net instead of the bright green light. Oh well, whatever works...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #272

Team 272 couldn't afford a full Aim High playing field. Here we see them calibrating there shooter with a green light, on a stick and a fishing net.. At the regional they discovered to late that the student was holding the light 5' above where it should have been.
