And the picture:

As always, the deadline is sorta kinda theoretically Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

He can figure out relativity, but he sure can’t figure out how a FIRST robot works!

Albert’s younger brother, Ed, demonstrates the theory of relative-ity. This is the idea that someone is always going to try and capitalize on the fame of one of their relatives.

[NPOE] Billfred, this makes over 1/3 of a thousand Caption Contests. For nearly 6.5 years, this weekly posting has been a major constant in your life, rivaling, perhaps, your very name. <applause> [/NPOE]

At FIRST demos, Einstein impersonators are as common as Elvis sightings in Vegas.

"Young man, who are you and why are you trying to get your robot to play on me?

Looks like Einstein likes Krispy Kremes too.

Not even einstein could understand the scoring system.

Einstein: “I discovered the Theory of Relativity and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.”

“I can explain gravitational fields, statistical mechanics, particle theory, quantum theory, and the photoelectric effect, but for the life of me I can’t figure out why the poofs always end up purple side down.”

Einstein spent too many late nights programming the robot and gained 20 lbs in Mountain Dew and fast food weight.

Student: “No Einstein, this is not a particle collider. It shoots poof balls”
Einstein: “That’s good. My hair could use some added poofiness.”
Student: “This isn’t meant for your hair, Einstein.”
Einstein: “It’s meant for hunting bears?”
Student: Sarcastically “Yes Einstein…that’s exactly what’s it’s for.”

Clearly, Einstein operated the tablesaw a few too many times without using earplugs.

New entry:

On seeing that Einstein was interested in their robot, the team asked him for the solution to the 2007 hint.

The result was like asking Deep Thought for the ultimate question to the ultimate answer of life, the universe, and everything–he gave them the plans for a time machine to get to every hint’s answer. The time machine, however, has yet to come back from its first trip. There have been suspicions that it went through an event in 2007, but nobody has spotted it since.

Einstein the standup comedian - trying out some of his jokes:

Einstein walks into a bagel bar…
(Student threatens to chase him with a rubber chicken)

Einstein had no idea that a poof ball would not disappear when shot…
(Student threatens to shoot the poof ball at him)

Einstein walks into a poof ball machine and…
(Student laughs and asks Einstein if he would like to drive the robot)

That was when the fun really began.

First students have stumped the greatest mind of the century. How do you determine Doppler shifts of red and blue light, when the very objects you are using for the experiment are spinning red and blue colored balls? Watch for the scientific paper to be released soon.

So this is where Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

Here we go!
