Re: Archi-medes!
I leave tommorow and will only be able to be on CD during the night when we stop for the night. Driving there will be a perfect way for me to get my hacky sack skills back.

(and by excited I mean charged ;) ) I know we've talked about what hotels everybody is going on, but are there any IndianaFIRST teams that are flying on the same flight as us? We have two seperate groups going down, one small group wednesday evening, one large group thursday morning... so, unfortunately I don't have the flight information for the large group... but anyhow: > IND -> ATL: AirTran 195 (departs wednesday, 6:19pm) > ATL -> IND: AirTran 400 (departs saturday, 10:59pm) -q |
Re: Archi-medes!
One thing I wanted to throw out there based on the comments I've been seeing.
Remember when it comes to the Championship after alliance selection what really determines the winner in many ways is reliability. Quick math for everyone to remind you: 7 qualifying matches Min 6 divisional elim matches Max 9 divisional elim matches Min 4 Einstien matches for a Champ Max 6 Einstien matches for a Champ That means you have to run 17-22 matches to win the Championship. 10-15 of which are Saturday afternoon eliminations. Just something to keep in mind when you select alliances. Edit: IMO 2 of the Uberbots, High Rollers and Rush will be allied and win the division barring a mechanical/bad luck incident. Uberbots were a hair away from Einstin last year so they can taste it and High Rollers and RUSh both Have Championship credentials. |

Most already know about the current PBS show that is also being filmed by Story House Productions this year. The "Superbowl OF Smarts" film should be a very complimentary piece that is going after a different audience. The PBS piece will be shown exclusively on PBS broadcast television, and the "Superbowl Of Smarts" film is targeted at theatrical release, to be shown at independent movie theatres and film festivals. Together they will reach a broader audience than either effort would alone, and help tell the "FIRST story" to a much larger portion of the public. Team 116 and NASA are funding a bit chunk of the production as part of our outreach efforts. Based on some of the B-roll footage and very early cuts that I have seen so far, the film will do a lot to show off the talents and skills of all the participating teams. But more important, it should be a great tool to have when we are all trying to answer the question "so what is FIRST all about, anyway?" -dave . |
Re: Archi-medes!
