No Problem, akracefreak. I'll get back to you all tomorrow about the specific date of the "party." If anyone else from out of town has any questions, there are tons of locals on these boards who would love to help you out.
Ok thanks for the info.

can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait! :D

looking forward to meeting Chief Delphi and the teams from Alaska (and yep, the weather's great here... right now, it's pretty much summer :cool: )

oh yeah, we're pretty much ready robot-wise - just need our shirts and the hair dye, and we're good to go

We're not too far away--just a hop, skip and a slog through rush hour traffic from Sacramento. :p We normally drive down the day before..early in order to avoid the traffic. Go to school for two periods, leave around lunch, make it to our hotel and relax, normally with a DDR tournament or Halo party. I love hotels. :D

Cant wait to meet all the teams down there. Speaking of being ready...AH! We still have the programming to work out, and possibly a dead reckoning system. Man, the pressure is on. On top of that, we need to pack our tools and such, and also finish building our OI. With the first one, we tried to drill another slot for a switch but the whole lexan sheet cracked everywhere. But whats a little fun without a headache, eh?

Also, does anyone from the area know of any fun places or things to do around the NASA area thats within possible walking distance?

There isn't really much around Ames that I recall... You've got to go into San Jose/Mountain View to do stuff. Im sure there will be plently of people heading out to random food courts/restaurants/etc to hang out after competition each day. If you can get back to Moffett awhile after the competition ends, there will be plenty to do with other teams.

Our team works on the base itself, so just ask any one of us...we know the area pretty well ;)

Cory's right - there's not much to do on base, just a McDonald's...most of the fun stuff is actually just a few minutes down the road in downtown Mountain View

The way i see it, speed holes can go anywhere! Throughout the build season i came up with a great way to save lots of weight....speed holes in the battery, pneumatics, air storage tanks, and in the compressor itself! :D

Does anyone know how the rooms are like at the NASA center? Just wondering. Also, are there supermarkets and such nearby?

the room are military dorm rooms...and they are fitting for the price you paid.. :D.from what i hear they aren't "all" that bad.

And like adrian said our team's lab is on base..so maybe you can get adrian and some of the other guys to show you around the area and/or get you a tour of our lab.
