[TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Have you ever wondered how a swerve drive works? How to efficiently wire your electrical system? How to construct a robust pnuematic system? Or how to use a running filter to de-noise the input of the CMUCam for your PID closed-loop control system to aim a three axes of freedom turreted shooter during autonomous mode?

Don't worry.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Interesting... The Coming soon page looks very professional.

Is this going to be a white paper site?

Maybe a FIRST Howstuffworks?

I am intrigued.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

That logo looks awesome. :p


Okay, I'll admit it. I created the logo for Greg.

Once you get the hang of vector graphics, they become quite fun. If you liked this logo, just wait until I'm finished with the 2007 version of Team 228's website. :D

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

. . . yes, yes I have.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Wow, The homepage looks really nice. I cant wait to see whats going to be on the site.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

w00t :)

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

w00t is right, sam.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

what a great christmas present for all of us!

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Like I've said elsewhere, Red Alliance > Blue Alliance ;)

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

haha its like facebook dejavu.

and im excited to see how the site looks when its done.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

I like the Banana Watermark :rolleyes:

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Yes I have, even though I could be writing parts of it...

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Reminds me of the Chilli's logo more :p .

Hooray for TBA.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Less than three weeks and counting. First teaser posted.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Anyone see what it was that was laying on the table? I couldnt see it well enough to identify it.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

oh god. the easy button is overrated. but maybe that is only because i am a staples employee.

they're $4.98 btw. and they come with gift boxes for christmas. wicked pretty.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Just a simple electrical circuit?

probably to show how to wire it neatly and such?

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Oh, :( I was hopeing it was something cooler.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Greg and Tom aren't very cool. I wouldn't get my hopes up for cool things...
:p ;)

Looks like you guys have a great series coming along.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

If i am not mistaken the electrical circuit that is out on the table is the bobcats 2006 operator switch panel, judging from the four rocker switches and what looks like the easy button built into the control board. Correct me if i am wrong thats just my guess from looking at it. :cool:

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

who ever is the camera man is needs to learn how to use a tripod. one more thought comes to mind with this video, headroom. there is either to much or to little. pretty cool so far

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

I'd love to see what Tom makes if you leave him alone with the camera.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Sometimes the simplest circuits do the coolest things. :cool:

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

The homepage looks fantastic. I like the design and what would be spectacular is if you had an interesting flash intro, and than it would be awesome.


Pavan.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

2 weeks w00t (again) :)

and give the cameraman some credit. This part was completely ad-libbed and was kinda random and I like the high camera angle.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Two weeks left. Second teaser video posted.

http://www.thebluealliance.net

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

video doesn't work yet.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

I said posted, not viewable ;)

It is processed and ready to go now.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

haha!

/guiness plug

Brilliant!

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

The last teaser before the full site launch is now up! This might shed some light on what everything is...

http://www.thebluealliance.net

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

i was just thinking about this today, nice video. i can't wait to see it all!

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

can't wait. Must see. beep beep beep BOOM! :ahh:

Homepage looks great!

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

It feels like ....the screensavers, way back in the early days before they got good bands to do their introduction. Well it's either the Screensavers or Home Improvement.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

OMFG conor i love you... i was thinking of that damned show back in the day but couldnt remeber its name... WOW...

Tom... i guess... your just tom... great commericals =P...

great trailer vid... cant wait for the first episode... hope you guys have enough bandwith or have a low bandwith site ready to run =P

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

I must say, thats a pretty nifty intro sequence.. What is that weird hammer/hatchet/nail puller thing though? ;)

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

Well, as a fall back they will all be on some sort of video sharing site, so you ought to always be able to watch them there.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

To distract you all from dave:

What does an easy button, bawls, and a nerd have in common? Can anyone figure it out before they tell us?

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

That Tom and Greg are leet.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

I've just completed the final touches of the full up web page, and boy is it snazzy. Who knows, the page might even go up a few days before the first episode is scheduled to launch...

Also, compressing video is the worst thing ever invented when you don't have access to the right tools. If anyone wants to get me a Mac with Final Cut Pro on it for Christmas, I'd be eternally grateful :p

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

What? You can't transcode with VLC? :p

Seriously, I'm excited for this. I'm just hoping there's something in there I don't already know.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance
 

There might be in a few months when we delve deeper into the controls.
For now, it is just basic electronics.. Something to get teams with little engineering resources off the ground.
