Unhappy with the way robots have been generally treated by humans, Johnny 5 took matters into his own hands.

[GRaduns340]

Still convinced robots aren't taking over the world?

While the team struggles with the game robot's autonomy code, the controls team takes autonomy to the next level so humans are unnecessary.

[KelliV]

What do you mean the robot gets disabled for me touching the controls? I am autonomous aren't I?

[Cody Carey]

First it was babies having babies, now it is robots driving robots... What is this world coming to?

[Schnabel]

Now this is what I call autominous mode!

[Taylor]

Coincidentally, the driver pictured also was the producer of a certain Styx song that I'm quite sure you all know....

[not an entry] Is this Johnny 4? And where exactly does the driver badge go? [/not an entry]

The team from Porto Alegre demonstrates how they won the "Most Photogenic" award back in 2000. Quite the clothes hound there.

This robot was the prototype that didn't get used. He decided to take the matters into his own hands and smash the other robot into pieces the day before ship. Now they would have to ship him as there robot,and he thought that he had gotten away with it, but before the other robot was destroyed it captured this picture. Now he sits on a shelf brainless.

During Dave Lavery's trip to Antarctica, he suffered from severe frostbite and required extensive constructive surgery. The doctors were overheard saying, "Dave Lavery, FIRST Mentor extraordinaire. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first robotic man. Dave Lavery will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster. And we're sure he won't mind if he resembles his other car on Mars."

[Andy Baker]

In search of the world's best iced donut, Dave even searched in Antarctica.

Realizing that even the world's best engineers sometimes forget to look at the calendar, Andy Baker developed a personal assistant robot to handle some of the more mundane clerical tasks required to keep him at the right place at the right time on the right day (and with the right photo for the weekly caption contest). Here we see Baker's Assistant Robot (known as "the BAR") preparing to remotely start up his vehicle, so Andy will remember to go to work so he can earn a paycheck and fund his robotics Technology Acquisition Baccalaureate (known as his "BAR TAB").
