[Shu Song]

It's FIRST's version of Yao Ming

[Jay Trzaskos]

Me :Is that JVN by those cars?
Aaron :I don't think so. Well actually...
Me :Oh my god theres a robot hanging on the rim!! Where the heck did that come from?
Aaron :Yeah, well now that you mention it i think it is JVN....

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Team 237 takes a tip from the best, and gets their robot set to pick up some ladies.

Girl: That's a miiiighty fine robot you've got there.
Robot: Go back to Indiana, shorty.

[Billfred]

<obviously not an entry>

Actually Gary, you technically have the lead in the contest, by virtue of having a higher average score. Now, if you two had the same average score, then technically you'd still be listed over Heidi (G comes before M in the alphabet), but I'd be calling it a tie.

And Gary and Richard, don't forget The Heidi Foster Rule.</non-entry of obviousness>

[tkwetzel]

In an attempt to teach Elgin how to play basketball, team 237's drivers bust out the moves. In the end, Elgin was a lost cause, but team 237 got some valuble practice in.

[greencactus3]

wonder if Buddy can beat that

[Billfred]

Alright, so Arefin gets team 179...wait a second, wrong spreadsheet. (switches to the caption contest spreadsheet)

So first place goes to...

Guido now makes $10,000,000 a year building robot player replacements for the NBA. See if you ever make fun of another colorblind person again! HA!

Second place...

"Man, we really need a shot clock..."

[Amanda Morrison]

Shortly thereafter, Ron Artest threw a fit, a fan threw a beverage, and Team 237 was forced to leave the court with a towel over their electronics panel.

I still blame Detroit.

[Stephen Kowski]

Billfred: 'I call shenanigans--not only with the rusty steel pole not being legal, but we can clearly see that is photoshopped.'
Elgin: 'Ok, it is true that the rusty pole is not really there - caught us again billfred'

[Gary Dillard]

Team 237's shameless attempts to attract Nike as a corporate sponsor proved futile; According to Elgin, "If only we could have grabbed the big balls, things would have been different."

[Andy Baker]

It's better to build a robot and lose a match than to have ever played basketball at all.
