(emphasis mine)
Will the Cybersonics still be competing? I heard from one of your captains that the 2008 bot has the new system installed.

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
 

We made a copy of our bot without the launcher and the new control system installed. Brian is doing the presentation, And we are competing with the robot we used last year at all of the competitions with the same old control system.

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
 

:D That's much better to hear. I misinterpreted what I heard from one of your members. See you all tomorrow morning bright and early....

Bring A Spoon!:D

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
 

Ok, I have a call for help. Two things, can someone help us get our team number set (stupid dip switches :P, and I need a tether cable), and can someone lend us some charged batteries.

Thanks!

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
 

An easy way to set your team number is to
-- turn off all the dip switches, so you start with team number zero
-- One by one flip on each dip switch starting from the left
---- If the team number that shows is less than your team number then leave it on on move on to the next dip switch to the right.
---- If the team number that shows is greater than your team number then click off that dip switch and move on to the right.

We're on the road at 5am...Zzzzz

Not a bad off-season at all lots of friendly faces to work with :)

Will def. be coming back for volunteering next year work permitting :)

Congrads to all who came and competed in every way imaginable (including the evil sunday contestants)

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
 

It was tons of fun, and we learned a lot. Thanks 25 for hosting.

Can't say to much about our driving. :D

See all of you soon! :P

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
 

I had a blast at BE this year. I enjoyed Game Announcing with Waynep (as always), enjoyed the heck out of the Guitar Hero tournament, anr had a blast, overall. Grats to 25 for hosting such a great event!

And to 2753, you guys are going to be a force to be reckoned with this year (especially if your FTC record is any indication of how you'll do in FRC). Kudos to you for your "up and coming star" award!

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
 

That was a ton of fun! Hope to see you all next year!:) Hopefully our robot won't fall apart this time.

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
 

Yeah, Brian is good at confusing people

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
 

I would like to thank team 25 for hosting this tournament and for helping out 395 with there battery problems.
Thank you team 395 for allowing me to work with guys. It was a blast.:D
Also, thank you team 103 for the presentation and for answering my questions afterwards on the new control system.

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
 

Thanks, 25, for hosting another fantastic Brunswick Eruption.

1923 had a bunch of new students this year, and I was so glad to have this be the first competition they've been to- I wouldn't have it any other way. They were so excited and can't wait for Ramp Riot next weekend.

Thanks to 2180 and 1403 for being awesome alliance partners. This was 1923's first time as an alliance captain, and I'm hoping it's not the last. :) It was great to work with you guys.

Off-seasons are always wonderful, but for me Brunswick Eruption is my home as far as off-seasons go. I've never missed one. Unfortunately, since I'm going to college next year (and probably not in NJ), I'm not sure what my schedule will be able to accomodate for next year. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to go.

As far as being a FIRST student, this was my last Brunswick Eruption. The first of the 'lasts' for my time on 1923. It was a pretty sad realization for me. Considering how well the team did, all the great people I met, the friends I caught up with, I'm gonna have to say- what a way to go!

So thank you, 25. You guys rock. Brunswick Eruption is always great.

No matter where I am next year, I know BE8 will be just as awesome.
:)
