The rules, for the newbies.

And as is tradition, the last one of the year is a video:

As usual, the deadline is nominally Sunday at midnight Eastern time.

Go!

Billfred re-learns why you do NOT wear a MOE green shirt anywhere near the field.

3

We missed our first auton volley, time to cause a field fault!!

4

Video review shows that yes indeed, they did violate the rule about shooting game pieces out of the field.

5

“I’m so sick and tired of always being stalked by the Paparazzi! Take that you leech!”

6

Cameraman: We approach the robot in its natural habitat. We are near the nest so prepare yourself for some territorial behaviors. Shoot. It sees me.

7

I knew I should have sprung for the non-reflective coating on the camera lens…

8

Coach: “Did the programmer test the last program change?”
Student: "No. Why?
After Autonomous
Coach: “That’s why.”

Team 111 thought they had it in the bag with a pay-to-win vision system. Only problem? They didn’t realize they’d be paywalled from using it in year two. Oops.

11

Ouch, oh man that hurt.

Hmmm, might April tags be a better option.

Sometimes the best ideas come from accidents.

12

Does that camera really look that much like Dean?

It’s strange to realize that this caption contest is only a few years younger than me.

15

After two years of wins in a row (and even more embarrassingly, two perfect attendance awards in a row), I can officially say:

It’s not goodbye, but see you later. It’s someone else’s time now. Maybe I’ll pop in, if the photo really speaks to my heart. Good luck out there.
