Woodie On Mythbusters!
 

Well, sorta. Today's episode they re-did the death ray myth using mirrors and sun.

They decided to show off various fan made submissions, including the MIT one, which oddly enough featured someone we knew. It was short, very short part, but watch for the end of it where they "confirm" the myth, and look at the guy on the left!

Myth BUSTED

Re: Woodie On Mythbusters!
 

Like it was TO BEGIN WITH :D People seemed to froget that the myth was if archimedies actually did it, not if it was possible.

In any case, ill have to watch it again to catch that, Did anyone see the VEX robot on the desk an episode ago?

It would be awsome if they did an episode from the championship!

Ha! I thought I saw him. Too bad another proffesor actually starred on the MIT segment of the show. Maybe Adam and Jamie show up at Atlanta? :rolleyes:

You beat me to this by 12 hours...

Who knows? Grant was in Atlanta at the Championships last year, so maybe someone can get to him to get Adam and Jamie there.

I also caught the glimpse of Woodie in the episode this week.

I was watching it with my girlfriend, and Woodie pops up on the screen and i start freaking out and saying "WOAH ITS WOODIE", so of course the girlfriend looks at me with a confused look and says "Ohh that robotics guy with the pony tail?" and then I am very disapointed when he isn't there at the mythbusters lab helping them build the death ray.

I met Adam and Jaime and escorted them around Wired's NEXTfest in Chicago this summer and after they did a presentation I mentioned that they should come to the Championships.
They are actually pretty nice guys and I wouldn't doubt it if they showed up sometime within the next 3 years.

After noticing Woodie on Mythbusters, my roommate and I posted a couple of screenshots: http://www.osufirst.org/index.php/Wo...on_Mythbusters.

First of all, let me say that I missed the original airing of this episode because, oddly enough, MIT cable doesn't carry the Discovery Channel...

Anyway, when I did see it I saw some familiar faces and locations, as the picture above indicates. You can barely see the top of my dorm behind the "boat." The parking garage they were on top of is where we park team 97's pickup truck. Also, the star of the show was professor David Wallace, who co-teaches a drawing/CAD/machining class that I'm taking right now. (2.670 - Intro to Mechanical Engineering Tools) In a week, I will be starting 2.007, the robotics competition formerly known as 2.70 back when Woodie taught it. It should be an interesting experience for me, having been on FIRST teams for four years, to participate in the competition that helped inspire it. I'll try to post some updates on how it goes. :)

That would be amazing, There robot experince alone is enough for me to wish to meet them. Heck, i want to see Jamies "Life and Death Machine" In person, and they have Grant Imahara as a mythbuster now, He built Deadblow of battelbots fame.
