“The next one to suggest mounting the radio on the outside of the robot will spend the entire day inside one of the goals!”

URBAN DICTIONARY ENTRY
Joke Ahead of Its Time: A one-liner delivered before any sense of context is established.
“See? I told you they always end up purple-side-down”
“But the whole ball is purple!”
“Don’t worry about it. In two years, you’ll understand this is a Joke Ahead of Its Time.”
Ok, now to find somewhere to grab to carry our robot…oh! There’s a place, and about a hundred more!

Careful, the goals are top-heavy and we all know what happens when things get too top-heavy!
Yeah, that’s when they work great!
Somebody forgot to tell 271 that they don’t have to supply a belay device - it comes with the field.
<npoe> Freudian finger slip? The first time that number came out 217 </npoe>
Student 1: Wouldn’t it be easier to roll the robot back to the pits?
Student 2: Quit asking silly questions.
Don’t worry, we will win the ‘Biggest Wheels’ competition next year. For now, lets just get off the field.
Quick! Let’s get this thing out of here before those huge birds return! :ahh:
[npoe] I may not have a real caption, but I do have a way to make some people feel old! [/npoe]
I, Marissa Marincovich, am a college student and a legal adult. When this picture was taken, I was in fourth grade. FIRST was founded three years before I was born. Feel old yet? :yikes:
Ah yes, the lift and carry dance = robot love.
“Dumbies they called us. Just drive through the PVC they said. Who’s the dummy for carrying the bot now?”
Quick, the ref’s back is turned. Lets take a ball out of that goal and throw it at him.
This picture was planned for use in the proposed planned book “FIRST Robot Building For Dummies”.
Sadly for the publication planners (and happily for the rest of us), it was subsequently determined that there was no market for the book. The median IQ for FIRST participants greatly exceeded the “dummy” level.
It is alleged that efforts were then directed at “FIRST Game Design for Dummies”. No word on the market for that proposal…
It’s still Sunday! (You do Week 1 and tell me how you feel!)

(Seeing that *(http://chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/18711 ) with a classroom of 4th graders during my very first build season that year, yes I do!)
