Anxiously waiting to see some activity on the webcast and NASA Tv!

Re: Live from Kickoff

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Anyone see anybody that makes LEDs?

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Funsport makes balls right? There were also balls behind the sponsors, last year there were tubs.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

good point

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

I didn't know Mr. Lavery is all that.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

:] More Kickoff feeds: http://hyperrules.chiefdelphi.com/kickoff/

Guess: Two Different shaped balls!! Trust me! :D

edit: maybe not balls, but definately spherical shaped objects

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

I thought Woody was going to wrestle dave for the podium after that entrance.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

my JPL feed is messing up..

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

ours is fine

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Hard Problem?!

Re: Live from Kickoff

Re: Live from Kickoff

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Oh jeese... that was scary... my internet cut loose and I had to sign back on... soooo scary... ::deep breaths:: :ahh:

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

This is BORING.... god...

I'm on Mr. Ivey's laptop since mine's in use by our team for the web feed.

BTW, I dig this awsome backlit keyboard.... :)

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

you are right i will be different i will have half of the brain cells that i have now

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Don't worry, you will earn some wrinkles in your brain during the 6 weeks! lol

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Dean's On.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Anyone else wondering why each of the speakers have had a headset microphone as well as the podium mic?

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

He looks kinda sick, or a little nervious.

*yawn* Sleep........

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

When they show us the challenge, they will be on the field. It was behind the curtain last year.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Denim!!!!!! :D

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

We were surprised Dean actually walked onto the stage, no segway, no ibot.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Yeah, he wasn't like this last year.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

I'm surprised that he isn't drinking from his water purifyer....

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Weird.

Had a audio anomily. (Using quick reply.)

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

He seems kind-of lost.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

This thread doesn't need 100 replies from 3 people.... can we relax on the one liners? this isn't a chat room.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

I do have the best mentor :)

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Could you please post the password for the game documents if they give it, thanks.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

understatement of the year, "the game is getting more complex"

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Maybe it's from inhaling that fog or smoke from behind the curtain!

I dealt with those fog machines this year at our yearly Haunted House benefit, and it affects your speech if you breath alot of it in!

Makes you a bit hoarse.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Argh! my JPL feed just dropped to 34Kbps!!

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Here We GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

okay, wasn't fortunate to attend but a few questions i have:

1. whats the field like, or did they not release it yet?

2. whats this years Game Name?

3. did they release the PDF password yet? if so can you PLEASE pass it along as i wasnt fortunate to attend a kickoff this year :confused:

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

were those UHMW or HDPE Slides that thing was on? Very neat

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

none of the above.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

I was wondering what that battery is for.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Honey, We Shrunk The Founders! :ahh:

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

At this second, they are starting to explain what's in the kit. Nothing else is released as of yet.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

IR Sensors!!!!!!!!

I saw a giant BALL!!!!

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

THey just confirmed autonomous, not that we needed that.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

I love these goodies.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

excellent, nasa feed is working again :) nice kit!

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

got any baketball players on your team?

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Sweeeeeettttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Is it me or is this game a large conglomeration of many of the past years games?

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Jesus christ..... oh dear god.... balls, lots of balls....

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

I'm 6'8"
it should be a fun year
shooting balls is gonna be awesome

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

this video quality is horrible, now only if they could say the password :D

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Did you dee those j-sticks.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Won't they just say the password?
I can hardly see anything

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

There is no pw for the PDFs they can now be viewed.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

I'm really not liking the idea of having a cruddy robot win because they have an NBA star on their team.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

you mean the ones on documents and updates are not encrypted now?

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

What was the key?

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

FEma2X5E10vEir

PDF Key

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Thanks.

They are showing animations, now.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Well, it's offical: Dean has finally gone insane.

To be blunt, this game looks like a combination of the worst elements of the 1999-2001 games. Too complicated, too much human player, too many scoring elements.

I guess it will just take some time to get used to.

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

what website can I view the animation at? thx


AMS - Stuck at Circuit City

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

Yeah where can I find the pdf files and videos?

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

www.usfirst.org/robotics/doc_updt.htm for the .pdf's

I can't find a video, anyone?

Re: Live from Kickoff
 

It they post it like they did last year, it'll be maybe a week or so.
