Only three days left to send music requests to dueldj@gmail.com!!!

Our final count is 2,100 pounds. We weighed every box (rounded to .5 pound on our robot scale) and subtracted a conservative estimate for box/container weight. The pile is eating up a fair amount of space in my classroom and is big enough that I'll be delivering the goods on Friday (Thanks Duel organizers!!!), otherwise we would have needed to leave the robot at home on Saturday :)

However, I have no doubt that 84 will find a way to exceed that 2,100 and it wouldn't be the first time 1712 lost out to 84 (this time, it's a far better cause, though :))

Way to go DAWGMA! Looks like, for now, 2,100 lbs is the book weight to beat!

Re: Official Updates - Duel on the Delaware - Oct 11
 

Well, Mr. K, we've never been that scientific about it. We just measure by how full the bus was last time and how full it is this time.

We'll make a judgment call on Friday night when we pack the bus.

Anybody out there going to do better than Dawgma?

Re: Official Updates - Duel on the Delaware - Oct 11
 

I have a mac and it doesn't handle windows media player all that well. Is there any way I can still watch the webcast?

Re: Official Updates - Duel on the Delaware - Oct 11
 

Have you tried VLC? I haven't tried it on this specific stream,yet but VLC handles most formats you throw at it. The Mac version of VLC has less features than windows and linux but still should work.
