Yeah, our catapult was scrapped for weight. It was only meant as a crowd wow-er, but couldn't get it working right in the time alotted.

Re: UCF student
 

i'm a UCF student, too... University High School has a rookie robotics team. The Crew, team 1083. UCF is one of our sponsors, too. =-]

please look us up at the competition if you have a second!

Wi-Fi at UCF
 

Does anyone know if wireless Internet will be available at UCF? I also read that 312 is bringing a practice field, where will it be set up and how do you schedule time on it?


Thanks

Yepp, 845 is going....
 

Cant wait...only 5 more days till we leave!
C yall there...:cool:

Are you guys going to setup a webcast station or anything at UCF or a system of video like you had at Epcot last year? Because I really would like to find out if there's a way for the school to watch us at competition and if not, if there's a way to record it on tape at least. Thanks. Only a few more days!

*still needs to get Chlroaseptic spray and cough drops*

WHO DAT BBAT?!!?! ComBBAT

It will probably be like the last few years where you can simply go out and use it, unless it's crowded, in which case you'll have to wait your turn.

First come first server on the field unless we show up to use it ;)

Long days
 

These days are much too long! Its ridiculous how long the days between ship date and competition last! Or it seems to be long anyway. lol. Well I surly can't wait. Heheh We'll be staying at Holiday Inn with 180 SPAM. :D Any other teams going' to be at the Holiday Inn? I want to know how early I have to be at the hot tub before it gets crowded in there. Lol, just kidding. 'We'll have a bloody dis-functional good time..' (-Ozzy) The more the merrier!

Later

I am not certain if we will be streaming from soap from UCF. I'm certain we will for Midwest. I'll ask the soap guys this saturday to find out. At the very least the matches should be up to the soap108.com website before the end of the day.

Oh and we will be staying at the Marriot UCF.

Webcast from UCF
 

The goal as I know it, is to have a webcast (Media Player) for the UCF event this weekend off of our SOAP108 website. I am currently working with the UCF and NASA staff to finalize the items. Additionally we will have a limited network available if everything works out.

I hope to post more in the coming days.

You guys are awesome!

YEEEE-HAAAAAA!!!

Re: UCF student
 

I must disagree with you. The University of Central Florida is a WAY better venue than any Kentucky Fried Chicken I've ever been to. And I don't know what theme parks you've been going to either. KFC may have some good food, but it doesn't amount to a theme park.

And oh yes, I will be there, as well as my team. We are staying in our homes, seeing as how we live round the bend.

So to all my friends, with great amends, I shall see you there before it ends.

Re: Re: UCF student
 

Webcast? YAY. Thanks 108! :) Btw, KFC is good food.

Ha! I represent the highly UNDERrepresented team of 654... the only team in Tallahassee, FL. We will be there... a few of us. We actually have problems getting enough people to want to go. Ha... well... hope our robot isn't getting rained on right now...
see you guys!
