And the picture:

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

Go!

A rare photo of the ruminations of the GDC: Breakaway was originally going to have a bowling theme. Idea discarded for obvious reasons.

Quick, get down! Police bot coming through!!

Student 1: Hey man, I don’t think the bowling ball is going to yield to the flashing police light, so we should probably get the robot out of the way…fast
Student 2: Yea, maybe doing a demonstration for the bowling team wasn’t such a good idea.

The inspiration for the current bumper rules, except that they wouldn’t pass team number, bumper zone, bumper color, bumper size, and most likely bumper construction. And why do their bumpers fit in the box and the weight limit???

[NPOE] You know you’ve been in FIRST too long when you know the pre-2006 bumper rules… and when you remember seeing that particular game played at Nationals in the Epcot parking lot.)[/NPOE]

I heard this joke the other day; “A black hole, a robot, and a couple nerds walk into a bar…”

AutoCop: Any idea why I pulled you over, Mr. Ball?
Ball: ? ? ?
AutoCop: Failure to maintain a proper lane. Next time, stay in your alley.

Driver: Are you having fun?
Robot: I’m having a ball! This is right up my alley.

Welcome to “Bowling for Robots”, where contestants can win big prizes for knocking down robots…

Trying to pin down one caption when there are so many spares to consider.
Wait, strike that…

The caption contest season has been rolling right along but Billfred threw a real gutter ball with this one.
Wait, strike that…

Drive coach: If we can perfect the slide without going over the foul line, it’s in the bag. If we can’t, then we’ll have to throw in the towel.


Yup, this one’s a real turkey.

Student on right: “You read Update #13 about substituting rubber balls for bowling balls didn’t you?”
Student on left: “No.”
Student on right: “This is going to end badly.”

Good thing there aren’t any bowling balls this year, because they’d just clog up the lanes.

I told you that a putting a wrecking ball on our robot was a bad idea! Now our arm is broken, and the ball is off the robot!!

2012: FIRST Bowling. I already feel sorry for Dozer.
