#FIRST Channel/Chatroom on the efnet
 

Hosted by Team 782 on the EFNET (IRC) #FIRST is a chatroom to get ideas about the kickoff and regionals out and get quick responses. This will be a moderated chatroom by Team 782 @ Watkinson School.

I hope to see you there!

If you do not know what IRC is, here are some quick links.
http://www.mirc.com is a download site for a good Windows, download it an connect to the efnet. Then join the channel #FIRST.

Good Luck and post if you have trouble getting in.

I downloaded it, what do I do next.. I'm lost...

In the OPTIONS window that pops up when you first launch the progra select the server: "Random US Efnet Server" and enter your Real Name, your e-mail address (it can be fake), a Nickname (It can be your Firstname + Team Number) and an Alternate Nickname.

Then press the big "Connect to IRC Server" button.
When a bunch of stuff flys through the "Status" window a Connect to Channel windown will come up. Type in #First and click Join.

If you need anymore help, post here and i will help.

Theres no one here...

There is already an IRC channel that gets regular use by FIRSTers... irc.webmaster.com #FIRSTRobotics. Yes, it's the "tigerbolt" chat. There is a silly java client around somewhere.

the "tigerbolt" chat is available on the tigerbolt (team 73) website...
