Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

OK, Eric. Your team's number clearly has the most leading zeroes in its binary representation. But Kil-A-Bytes 010000000000 have the most trailing zeroes, and the most zeroes overall.

Q: Which BMR team's binary representation has the most ones? Which has the most consecutive ones?

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

2783 (0000101011011111)

2040 (0000011111111000)

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

There was a day, not too long ago, when every team had to know its own binary number. It was set on the driver station.

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

No matter how you spell it 111 still has a lot of ones.

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

hey baker, this implies that 234 is 1 up on 45 ....

you gonna take that?

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

man, 1024 Kil-a-Bytes had it easy (10000000000)

...so does 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048 (idk if all those teams exist)
they all have only 1 "1" in their Binary numbers

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

Team 135 will be bringing their winning robot, 2009 Midwest Regional Runners up!!!


Also we will be bringing a younger team that ever before. Previously our team has been solely seniors, this year we will have juniors and seniors, with a junior driving the bot!

Cannot wait to get to the regional and see all of my fellow Indiana teams as well as the visitors from other states!

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

Hey, that's my line! :ahh:

I was going to say our team has the least number of ones because it's a straight power of 2... but, well looks like you have to be quick around here.

As far as which exist, I know 1 exists (Jugg-A-Pult last year), 4 is team Element that's for sure, 16 is of course Bomb Squad, 256 I've heard of, then we'll skip to 1024 which I hear is rumored to exist... :rolleyes:

See you all at BMR. I won't be able to make it any day but Saturday, but I'll be there!

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

For some reason i was counting the powers of two and the exact words that went through my head were "OMG Kil-a-Bytes" and I ran to my computer and posted...

PS. 1501 will "bring the ding"

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

Here's another reason to attend Boilermaker.
Team 1501 (my team :) ) will be having their annual Count-theRivets contest. If you can guess how many rivets were used on Skyhawk, without going over, you will win a 1 gig iPod Shuffle donated by Elston Enterprises.

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

Only 3 days and 5 hours left! :yikes: It's gonna be fun!

See ya there everybody!

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

yes... 1024 be coming to BMR this year, and for those of you wondering what we're going to change this time.... well... you'll just have to wait and find out :D

See everybody there!!!!

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

I just wanted to remind everyone about the parking situation...there should be plenty of parking in the garage caddy-corner from the Armory, but there are a few places you *shouldn't* park, particularly those not marked for an "A" pass (not having an "A" pass will be okay for the regional).

More details are available here:

• Parking Information
• Team Pit Equipment Load-in and Load-out

Also, unique to the Boilermaker Regional are several campus tours. This is a great opportunity to see the Purdue campus, as well as the nuclear reactor, nanotechnology, aeronautical labs, nanotechnology, computer-integrated manufacturing and more. Be sure to check this out!

• Enrichment Activities

I think that's it...be sure to check out the website for more details. See you Thursday!

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional
 

Are there any plans to webcast the Boilmaker Regional this year?

It looks to be a very strong set of competitors this year and since the number of teams attending is small, we should see some great matchups.
