Just what we needed, right? .. another Sprint/Nextel commercial spoof.

Ours has a little different approach, though.

Check it out .. CDXI: Aiming High (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/misc/CDXI_Teaser.mp4) 8.9MB - MPEG-4

Well then I think this is the first parody, of a parody of a parody of a parody! (CD-111-71-Nextel) Wow, and I like the addition of the robot. By the way great robot can’t wait to see you at GLR.

The newest QuickTime Player, or iTunes, or an up-to-date Windows Media Player should all work. VLC is a cross-platform media player that may work, as well. (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)

It was sped up for parts of the video (added dramatic effect) - it can be shifted down (yes, we can shift the ball launcher) and also we can reduce the speed at the controls.
We also had the camera about 6 inches away from the exit location for the close up shots.
We tested 4 times to make sure we are within the 12 m/s guideline.
*no poof balls were harmed during filming

The magic of video. Notice the position of the camera :)

We tested several times using the process outlined by FIRST since they give us no better way to calibrate.

We are well within the distance.

You mean you didn't use a light gate like we did? :)

looks like a really nice robot, I don't know how easy it will be to pickup balls 40+ feet away with a small opening like that. I'm sure you have figured that out though ;). Looks very good overall.

Funny video CD, and best of luck.

It did not escape my notice that a direct method for catching thrown balls was not present. An interesting strategy choice, to be sure.

-=kevin=-Windows Media Player 9 and Quicktime 6.5 are not the latest versions available. The newest QuickTime Player, or iTunes, or an up-to-date Windows Media Player should all work.You might want to download the newest versions of these players. Quicktime 7 opened the mp4 file fine. :)

Quicktime 7 (Without iTunes) - http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html

Windows Media Player 10 - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/default.aspx
