FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

I threw together an FRC kickoff countdown. You can see it here.

Any thoughts?

Looks good, thanks!

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

Very cool, except for one tiny detail: You put 2012 instead of 2013 for the kick-off date.:D:ahh:

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

NOOOOOOOO!!! I missed kick-off D: :eek:

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

YESS!! Can't wait! :]

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

Opened the page, was welcomed by this.



I like symmetry.

You have ninja screenshot skills

Kickoff appears to be on my birthday...

Sorry family/friends/birthday, but I'm going to Kickoff.

Now I have yet another webpage that I will feel the need to constantly check

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

That's depressing. It's so far away. But we'll get there eventually.

Just a note, I've found it seems to go faster and is much more satisfying if you check the countdown less often.

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

what if its always on... why cant I just speed it UP!!!!!

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

Fixed.

If you circle multiple times around the globe the days will go faster!

Related note: My background for my laptop is a first kickoff timer. As well as for every district/regional I attend.

Well, I just found a new homepage. Thanks!

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

Would've been perfect if you had used FIRST colors and font. But I still can't wait.

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

TBA has a countdown too! It ends at 10 AM rather than 10:30 AM.

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

Yeah we added that recently. Is it supposed to be 10:30? I can't seem to find a time anywhere, just a date.

P.S. @vineel, you may want to double check how the time is being calculated. It's saying ... 14 hours, 15 minutes, which doesn't put me at 10:30 AM EST even if you take into account the switch to Standard Time. Are you using my local timezone (PDT)?

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

The Kickoff broadcast began at 10:30 EST last season.

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

Ah, robot season.... its so close.

The real kickoff starts when Mark McLeod begins his 2013 Registration thread.

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

Love it!

:)

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

I'm having a slight issue with the kickoff timer... :confused:

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

The same thing happens on my computer. I assume its a little math fun to distract us from the why-isnt-kickoff-yet-blues a little while longer

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

I'm guessing that those dashes are 'minus' signs, and that it's 4 months minus the days, hours, minutes, and seconds. At first I was confused, because I thought it was counting up. :D

Also, I have the same "issue" with the scrollbar popping in for when the wider numbers are shown (I'm looking at you, 44). Probably just needs to be a little wider than 960 pixels (at least that's how wide the panel is in Chrome at 1920x1080).

I was JUST thinking this!

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
 

you can make it go faster if you own a Delorian

Re: FRC 2013 Kickoff Countdown
