Word on the street is that the 148 girls are selling these remarkably accurate JVN replicas for $10.

Word on the street is those things are evil, and bring nothing but bad luck to the robots they touch.

Word on the street is that this is a hot commodity. On Friday my drive team comes to me and says, "Kressly, we need $10 so we can get you something."
The thing is remarkably accurate and ours has a little 148 button to boot. My 6-year-old son is now in possession of it. I'll let you know if it produces nightmares and/or incredible design ideas soon.
edit: I swear I didn't know Sean was posting. However, I was not going to mention that the 1712 gremlins showed up after JVN was affixed to our robot.

I was very confused while I was parsing Newton video and saw one of these go by strapped to the side of the 148 machine.

Rick TYlerI need to get me some of those for our FVC robots before Dallas.

On a side note, I now know why I've never seen JVN without a hat.

I'm just glad the horse got away.
Maybe we should sell these instead of HexBugs at the FLL tournament next year...

Unfortunately, it was three of our manly pit crew who hand-made and sold these.

Wait, I am confused. Which one is the replica? 
-dave
(and, yes, I still want one - can they be obtained at the VEX Championships in two weeks?)

ok, I'm giving up my unofficial caption contest entry for this (I just know there will be one) - but I can't resist -
I've always thought JVN was a doll.

It would make a great stocking stuffer and could come with a tag that says: Putting the I in Inspiration: are you ready to see this face from behind the driver's station on the opposing alliance? Get busy!
Good luck with the fundraiser and the future FIRST must-have collector's piece, 148.

Would that Karthik doll sing when you pull the string on his back?

ParkerFThis pretty, pretty princess was not included in the process of creating this creep Lil' Neuns. 
Dave, I do believe some were left over so I'll make sure you can get one in Dallas.

If they can, I know how to take 148 out of the picture next build season.

You don't want to take them out of the picture, you want to make them reveal their master plans and how they are doing it.

does that involve cutting open the dolls head after kickoff? I'll make sure to have a sharp utility knife then.

That may prove to be fatal, I was going to suggest that he post it all online. Either that or you need a skilled neurosurgeon.

JVNThe students told me:
"We made them because we love you!"
Then another one in the back said:
"...and we want to profit from your reputation."

But wouldn't a Neunosurgeon just be anyone from 148's pit crew in 2008? Or would they be anyone from the team?

Would someone that wanted to pick John's brain be a Neunologist?
20-04-2009 17:10
Andrew Schreiber| And yes, tis' a Neun-agon! |
20-04-2009 17:12
Kingofl337Maybe 121 should make a Ring Ding Rick doll to hang out with John's doll.
