Kathie - Where/when should we look for photos and/or videos of the robots and/or matches - Do you expect that there will be online versions of any? - Blake

Re: ConnVex - FVC Championship Tournament - Hartford
 

I hope to get photos posted to the ConnVex website soon, and I expect that our friends from Sharon, MA will post some on their website also - www.connvex.org and www.syraweb.org respectively.

The Photo Galleries from the event are now online, and complete with 230 pictures from the event! (And there are still more to come!) :D

Until I can get some free time to work on the PHP code some more, all of the pictures all going to be on a single page. Sometime I'll add tagging to all of the pictures like on CD-Media, as I already have the code written to do just that, but it was for another project (my team's website ;)).

Thanks, Art! These photos are great!

Great Event!

Seriously well planned out - I hope to attend next year.

Art - Can I "con" you into making one (or maybe two) big whopping zip file(s) containng all the pictures? Alternating between peering at the thumbnails and waiting for the full pics to load is driving me nuts.

PS: My compliments to the photograher(s) and my congratulations to everyone who participated or otherwise mde it a success.

Re: ConnVex - FVC Championship Tournament - Hartford
 

We have more photos coming. At that time we'll probably sort through them all, then compile them into a better format.

Thanks to photographer Andrew Tsang, photos from ConnVex have been posted to: http://picasaweb.google.com/CheekyMo...onnVex20061216
These may be moved over to the ConnVex website as we find time. Thanks Andrew!

We finally have our photos from ConnVex posted at http://eaglevex.syraweb.org/Hartford-FVC.htm. It took a while to balance and resize our hundreds of images.

Team Unlimited (2013 from Sharon MA) echoes the sentiments of all - Kathie, her volunteers and the University of Hartford hosted a great competition - we look forward to participating next season!
