(I figured Paul has had enough abuse for one week. ;))

As always, the deadline is theoretically around Saturday at midnight.

Go!

So John when you took this picture did you think your head would be shiner than the robot in 3 short years (I think you did that’s why you’re wearing the hat)

Good thing JVN’s wearing that hat, because otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to tell them apart.

We are so dang proud of this here bi-national robot (see them flags there?) that we covered it in real gold. Ain’t she purty? Well shucks!

[NPOE]Thanks Billfred for the link back to last week’s scored, I’ll even forgive you for not scoring #210 while you were driving back from IRI [/NPOE]

JVN: This robot is so good, we’re already figuring the odds of a world championship!
Eric: Hmm… That can’t be right… Hey, John, every time I try, I end up dividing by zero. That can’t be good, can it?
Paul Copioli (off-camera): How about adding wings, a beak, and a tail to the zero?
JVN: Dividing by CHICKEN? Might work.
Eric: (5 minutes later) Nope, still doesn’t. How about instead, we put a snout and four legs on it?
Paul: NOOOOOOOO!
JVN: YES!!

[npoe]You thought I couldn’t slip Paul Copioli into this, didn’t you?[/npoe]

Eric: I AM JVN!
Chorus of other 229ers: No I am JVN

JVN, who is recovering from food poisoning: Why does everyone want to be me, anyways?

John: Ha ha! You think that’s embarrassing? Just wait to see what I have in store for Copioli. It may take a few years, but he’s gonna get it. I just have to call Baker and get it arranged …

JVN: “So Eric, you built this robot all on your own? No help?”
Eric: “Yes I did.”
angry Team 229 voices heard off camera
JVN: “What are they going on about.”
Eric: “They’re just jealous that I built this bot without their help.”
Team 229 comes out, picks up Eric and places him unceremoniously in the dumpster

Suzy Q the pig squeals off camera, thinking “oooo, SHINY ROBOT!”
JVN: “Awww, what a cute little pig! Here, piggy piggy! Here, piggy piggy!”
Eric: “Ummm…if she’s such a cute little pig, why is she apparently preparing to charge the robot, and why are Paul and Aidan chasing her with a cage, leash, and a muzzle?”
JVN: face falls “Crap.” begins running in circles and flailing arms “CODE RED! CODE RED! OVEREXCITED PIG RAMMING ROBOT! CODE REDDDDDD! 229, WHERE ARE YOUUUUUU?!”
229 member (off-camera): “Hey, YOU’RE the one who wanted to paint the robot gold.”

[Steve Irwin(rip)-esque accent]
And here we see the majestic JVN in his natural habitat, interacting with other members of the pack. His pride in his handiwork is well deserved, just take a look at that golden coat, what a beauty we have here…
[/Steve Irwin(rip)-esque accent]

[stereotypical used car salesman accent]
How 'bout this beauty right here? Lifts tetras and drives like a charm! And it’s only got four thousand miles on it! How does $7,995 sound?
[/stereotypical used car salesman accent]

The robot, alone, reminds me of the timeless Disney classic: Beauty and the Beast.
It is both a beauty and a beast.

[Show on animal planet]
Today we are going robot hunting…
[Later]
It looks like we found something and isn’t it just beautiful
[/show on animal planet]

Eric: Are you sure this is going to make a difference???
JVN: Are you kidding me? Once Karthik sees the Canadian flag on there he won’t be able to resist! Of COURSE they’ll pick us for an alliance partner!

To some degree, getting to know JVN isn’t as easy as one would think…:slight_smile:

Offcamera: So why does John have that goofy look on his face?
Eric: Well, the controller didn’t have enough memory to track autonomous waypoints the way we wanted too, so we borrowed some from John. We call the system, ‘division of V-Neun’.
Offcamera: Wow, have there been any side effects?
Eric: A couple, now he’s useless in the pit and talks like a marketing major.

“the best 2005 robot never to win a regional”

<Not an entry> Agreed. </Not an entry>

somewhere in the 5th dimension, a small group of what looks like white lab mice examines the image…

Veeblort: It appears our android is assimilating itself into human culture.

Quiddxrk: Indeed, the human, Eric, and the robot seem totaly unaware, of the substitution.

JVN: whoa where am I…and why am I sitting in all these cedar chips?

Not an entry - It’s still Monday???
