CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #276

[Ryan Simpson]

Would you look at the pipes on that thing! They're huge! It is really pumping PVC!

[JaneYoung]

Promotional shoot:

The lesson:
Tread softly, carry a big stick.

The motto:
Stack it like you mean it.

The men:
Trouble.

Photographer: Why do you say that, guys? Wait, you did say the robot was off right? Right? *runs*... I hope they are the only robotic nerds around, many more and it could get downright crazy. *keeps on running*

[Wayne Doenges]

Teammates: "Look, we finished the robot and it is able to pick up three Tetras"
Mentor: "That's great, but there is only one problem."
Teammates: "What's that?"
Mentor: "This year's game we have to shoot 40" trackballs."
Teammates: "Do'h!!!."

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Look guys we have to smile and make this a great picture. Believe me, someday this will be a big hit on Chief Delphi and you'll thank me for getting you to look good.

Second place goes to:

[ATannahill]

4 geeks, 3 tetras, 2 weeks before ship, and a robot walker, rotary.

[Travis Hoffman]

Robot:

"I've got to look good for the camera so the team's head coach doesn't put me out out to pasture in his front yard like he did my older brother."

P.S. - one of the older, LARGER rotary walker robots is indeed sitting in his yard - the one known for climbing other robots

P.P.S - the room in this picture no longer exists - that's the old small gym at Harding before they built the new building. 276 was a regular visitor to 48's facilities back then.

<JVN doing Paul Copioli imitation> Dude, that's totally sweet!</>

[GillSt.Bernards]
