Where is Innovation First?
 

All Innovation First websites, including IFIrobotics.com, seems to go to 4-post-racks.com (part of racksolutions.com) now. http://www.innovationfirst.com/FIRSTRobotics/ just gives me a 404 error.

Has IFI left the robot business? Is there anywhere else to download the RC documentation?

strange

Re: Where is Innovation First?
 

Thier website works fine for me. http://www.innovationfirst.com/FIRSTRobotics/
And so does the documentation section. Possibly contact Mike Walker and he could help you with the documentation if you can't get to it.

Re: Where is Innovation First?
 

That site doesn't work for me anymore. I think they are having website problems because none of those links off the 4-Post-Racks website work.

Re: Where is Innovation First?
 

Maybe one of their racks fell over... :ahh:

Re: Where is Innovation First?
 

Right click the site and click save target as. then it should work. it worked for me.

http://www.innovationfirst.com/FIRSTRobotics/

hope this works for you.

Re: Where is Innovation First?
 

Nope it is telling me it isn't there.

Re: Where is Innovation First?
 

Very odd indeed. No, it doesn't work for me either. And the site it redirects me to is having problems with its links. Perhaps its working for you because you have it cached in your browser? Try refreshing the page ... does it still come up?

Re: Where is Innovation First?
 

i will contact one of the IFI guys now about the site but at this point if you need any of the documents or anything that was on there contact me at mdessingue[at]nycap.rr.com (with the [at] = @) and i wil get you the document asap.

Most likely, they just changed something and the DNS needs time to propogate.

Re: Where is Innovation First?
 

Could possibly be something that IE doesn't like, I am using Mozilla Firebird and am able to view thier page just fine and read the documentation. I would try a different browser if your having problems.

Re: Where is Innovation First?
 

Nope, not it, as I'm using Mozilla.

Can someone that it is working for post the results if they ping innovationfirst.com?

Edit: We already established that DNS propogates very slowly to clarkson (see the SOAP thread), so I'm sure that's it. Joel can reach it also.

So they just updated their DNS record, and haven't moved the site yet.

Re: Where is Innovation First?
 

No, I'm using Opera (also tried IE) and it still doesn't work (as of 10:37 I just tried again).

NOTE:
If anyone needs the docs, I've put what I have online for download. THe sysadmin seems to have changed around all my permissions, hence the delay. If it helps, try this .

(Edit: I can add the default code if need be--though I imagine by this point most people should have that squared away! I think I'll be wondering off to sleep for now, though.)

This is very strange. Maybe it is a advanced, secret clue to next years game. :D

Re: Where is Innovation First?
 

If you try browsing the website you get all kinds of errors. I think their web server went to hell in a hand basket. Hope they have a backup :eek:
