No turtles were harmed in the making of this caption contest. However, we make no such guarantees for the sanity of a certain new england FIRST-er

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #216

As Andy attacks the obvious hint, Karthik is hiding behind the photographer, subtly searching for any further, more subtle hints left by Dave. He finally found it, two vertical posts surrounding the globe cafe, ready for launch.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #216

After losing, Andy "the hare" Grady takes it out on the tortoise. The next race, the hare didn't sleep, but the tortoise won again. From his hospital gurney, Andy vowed to build a robot to race for him the next time...

Tortoise: This is what happens when you lose by the hare on your chinny chinny chin.

Andy: If YOU would have just SLOWed down - it would have been a breeze.

Tortoise - Not when the name of the game is OVERDRIVE, dude. I am wedded to no myth, no legend. I have my own plane - er, plan. Win.

Andy: ok, ok - let's shellve this discussion 'til next season.

Choreographer: -sigh- It's really not that hard. A simple hop, step, twirl, and leap onto the turtle.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #216

Having seen one too many Harry Potter movies, Andy attempts to reanimate 131's 2008 robot "pokey" for one more offseason event using magic. Unfortunately, his aim was off, all he succeeded in doing was turning an innocent tourist into a monkey, seen in the background.

[NPOE]How Andy broke his foot.[/NPOE]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #216

Here, Andy Grady learns what many new runners often learn after their first race: taking longer steps does not increase your speed, taking quicker steps does.

Thus, he learns this the hard way. He is beaten by a turtle in a sad attempt to get to the game hint first.

[NPOE]I think that actually running Cross Country this year is affecting my brain. Now, I'm applying CC morals to robotics. Something is VERY wrong here...[/NPOE]

Here we find Andy getting even with the game hint after being sucked into the fabled, "slow and steady" approach for Overdrive.
