If youre using firefox, just download this plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/115 and set it to refresh http://robotics.nasa.gov/ every minute or so and just keep your browser on that page. If you look at it every few minutes, you wont have to keep refreshing it.

It takes away some of the craziness! :yikes:

Ok folks, go do some homework and studying. Lavery Claus and his elves are working hard and will be here by midnight* to give information to all of the good little girls and boys...




*Midnight Hawaii time

p.s. thank you beth sweet. I guess i will be getting up at 4 am central time to check... :D

Re: When is the notification of the 2008 NASA grant winners?
 

What time zone is that? For the deadline they used Hawaiian time. I guess that means there wont be anything until 0500 EST. Besides, reading the Scarlet letter isn't exactly as suspenseful as a NASA grant...

I have set my alarm for 3:55 CST.


I have a box of Krispy Kremes waiting for dave if he chooses our team :)

Although FIRST doesnt approve of bribery, dlavery might...

p.s. what the kamen are you doing on CD when you are supposed to be choosing team 2264 to give the NASA grant to? FOCUS dave, FOCUS.

Re: When is the notification of the 2008 NASA grant winners?
 

so me and Deacon Blues are so having an internet party tonight waiting to see who gets the grants. We did last night too, but gave up when we realized all our efforts were futile. hopefully we get to bed before 6 tommorow... with us living on the east coast and all.

Re: When is the notification of the 2008 NASA grant winners?
 

I will join you guys around 5 minutes before midnight in hawaii. and I am setting my refresh button to every single second.

going to sleep now, vivek

What good is participating in FIRST if you don't learn that you have to develop a program to run a custom circuit that plugs your alarm clock to your computer so that when the size of the Robotics.nasa.gov home page gets bigger [file size], or gets modified, you get electrocuted so that you can't snooze!*....


Pavan.

*Comment due to lack of sleep..nonetheless I hope you enjoy it!

Re: When is the notification of the 2008 NASA grant winners?
 

Yeah. This is tough man. Staying awake is crazy when you are sick and have been prescribed Robitussin C and even the normal dose makes you want to sleep for days.

But hey, Conan 14th anniversary and theFuturama DVD movie to keep me up.

Re: When is the notification of the 2008 NASA grant winners?
 

Congrats to all winners, but a special shout out to the Champion Lightning Bots of 2010 on earning a 2nd year team grant. :)

Is anyone else having trouble w/ NASA Site?
 

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the NASA site? I wanted to check the awarded grants and cannot even access the site.
