"Live" at Kickoff

[Levin571]

This thread will act as a kind of chat forum for all the people watching the kickoff to discuss what is happening on screen and to express your amazement about the new game.

Live from Swearingen Engineering here in Colatown:

--Man, Dave got a haircut!
--Man, it was so long ago that I got a haircut!
--Those logo interludes are an interesting change. Thumbs-up.

...and none of them spent wondering about stupid questions like 'What in the hell is Paris Hilton doing?'"

YES!

[Levin571]

USB based controllers can now be used

that means that you can use a Xbox 360 controller!

[expldingporkpie]

Woohoo! third! most epic!
Woohoo mac support support, way to show love for those of us on mac os x.
the laser pointer on the camera is gonna be really helpful.
and multiple target tracking.

[Levin571]

More than one target Dave hints?

[|20807 61|2|_]

maybe thats what the 5 is about. 5 targets??

[Billfred]

Has anybody else's feed had several split-second cutouts in a row? (We got it on the NASA TV feed here at the remote kickoff.)

[bobotics319]

[Jeff Pahl]

Has anybody else's feed had several split-second cutouts in a row?

[|20807 61|2|_]

[Adam Richards]

Its the signal, no matter if you're on NASATV or the webcast.

I so glad to see they considered the Mac. I wonder where the link to downolad parells will be.

[Adam Richards]

I so glad to see they considered the Mac. I wonder where the link to downolad parells will be.Probably on the FIRST website later today.

it will most likely be on the FIRST website :)

[UlTiMaTeP]

I wonder if the targets have anything to do with the hint last year about the Red, Blue, Green targets

[LauraN]

I love how we're mere moments away from being told all the intricate details of the 07 game, and yet we're still trying to decipher that clue. :p

[Levin571]

Whoa!!! RED AND YELLOW CARDS

[Ricky Q.]

Red and Yellow Cards!!! ahhhhhh the influence of Baker has reached everywhere.

But seriously, this is a great thing.

[Levin571]

HERE IT IS

[fredliu168]

tubes!!! i was right!!!

[Adam Richards]

INNER TUBES!

[Joe Ross]

Parallels is a piece of commercial software that costs about $50.

They didn't mention it was being donated, so I'd expect that you'd have to buy it. Dave only mentioned that it worked.

If it is donated, that would be great!

[Levin571]

it looks like a remake of Hexagon havoc and the floppy type object has returned in intertube form

[Levin571]

Only spoilers can be moved

[LauraN]

Whoa. My jaw...well, it didn't just drop but it would have if it were capable of doing so (I just had my wisdom teeth pulled, so I don't have much facial mobility....)

Lifting other robots off the ground for bonus points? Sweet!

[Bongle]

Wow, the height affecting weight limits is pretty awesome.

[Levin571]

I have yet to see what happens if a red ringer goes over a over a blue one since there is obviously room for 2 on each level so does this mean once you get it, you keep it?

[Ricky Q.]

Only with the keepers it seems.
