Go to Post I bet a lot of us (mentors and students) got into this line of work first because we wondered how things work, and stayed in it because we thought "I can make that work better". Thus starts a life-long battle between perfection and time. So far, time is ahead. - petek [more]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #262

In 2009, Wildstang built a robot that could rip people's heads off. By threatening referees and opposing pilots, they managed to breeze through Einstein undefeated and take the championship title.

I don't even want to know what kind of monstrosities they committed to earn the Chairman's Award a few years back...

While the take-down was amazing, Wildstang discovers that they need to make a slight adjustment to the robot’s vision system and programming to ensure that the robot can tell the difference between an orbit ball and a human head.

On hearing that the robot was underweight, Raul decided to try weightlifting using the robot.

(Raul being sucked into the bot)
Raul: No please let me go! I'll do anything!
(Student snaps a picture, turns off bot)
Student: See, that wasn't so hard. Now I've just got to go post this on Chief Delphi. Within a week it will have circulated throughout the entire FIRST community. It will become a classic, the stuff of legends: mentor devoured by his own robot. Heck it might even end up in one Bilfred's caption contests.
Raul: On second thought you can let the robot finish eating me.

I guess there was so much empty space in Raul's head, the robot thought he was a super cell. *shrug*

I see the problem, the what-you-called-it is stuck in the do-hacky which caused the thing-a-magit to slipped and jammed the thing-a-ma-bog. Someone hand me a left-hand spanner wrench.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #262

[new entry]Wildstang redirected their robot at Billfred so that they would win the caption contest, explaining why the judging is late. They are clearly in violation of a rule, but no cares because these contests have ruined enough of our lives that we want him stuck in there for a few weeks.[/new entry]

[nae inserted by edit because the forum is stopping me from making a new post]That allows for one day, we now need a new rule to explain 1 day, 18 hours. What could it be called?[/nae]
