As always, the deadline is nominally Saturday at midnight Eastern . Hopefully we’ll all have slept by then.
Go!

2815 is nearly done with their statue of their mentor, Billfred
Billfred learned the hard way to never scare a flock of pigeons while under their tree. STUPID PIGEONS!!!

I had no idea that Billfred is Forrest Gump’s cousin!

He is imagining himself in a nice, warm hotel room in Boca Raton and telling himself this will all soon be worth it.
You know that Campbell’s soup commercial where the snowman walks in the house and eats some soup and melts to show a smiling little boy at its core? Well, that’s what happened here, but since it was the build space, there wasn’t exactly any soup on hand, and… yeah. Billfred.
[npoe] Yeah, it’s lame, but I just woke up (despite the alarm that was set in order to get me to the shop by 9. Oh well). [/npoe]
BillFred will use almost any excuse to get a picture for the Caption Contest. Snow? Bah, I think it’s just a bad case of dandruff.

All productivity was lost for the rest of the night after Billfred walked in. Not because everybody wanted to come up with captions, but because they ran outside to have a snowball fight.
Here we have a photo of William “Billfred” Leverette, mentor for Los Pollos Locos FRC2815, taken during the 2013 FRC build season.
[NPOE]Lightning strikes twice? :yikes: [/NPOE]

After Billfred gets hit by a blizzard of Frisbees, the GDC changes the rule just to protect him.
Unlike the Punxsutawney Phil. If Columbia BillFred doesn’t see his shadow on Bag 'n Tag Day, you get snow in Southtown.
Don’t worry, that’s just Billfred. He’s always a bit wet behind the ears… and everywhere else.
Quick, cover up the electronics before he shakes himself dry!

Nope. It doesn’t work. This leather isn’t tight enough for me to imagine I’m a superhero. Not even Cat Woman works.
Safety glasses will protect me from the snow, right guys? Guys?
“Welcome to the 2014 FIRST Robotics Competition and this years game, ‘Snowball Fight with Billfred’!”
It’s a good thing Billfred isn’t a mentor on 1511… then he’d be dealing with thundersnow.
