im not sure where there would be a good place to play this extreme kickball... and that is very extreme... like broken bones extreme ;)

idk about the compressor... since we are so close, if you ask one of our mentors, im sure someone could hook you up

There is a big field next to the building where the team social is held.

you must be using big very loosely... there is a big hill in front of the union. and there is bowman field, which is rather large... but i would hate to see the lawsuits that come about from that trackball getting onto the highway ;)

hahaha, at the Peachtree Social, my friends and I played around with the trackballs and conservation of momentum. (We basically ran at each other with the ball between us).

I think if you let one compressor run, then you'd definitely fill one up alright. And since most teams are using pneumos this year, you wouldn't have to go very far to find a couple of spares.

I have an email in to Clemson's IT folks at the support address listed from last year's stream. Hopefully they'll email me back. (Probably should've left off my USC affiliation to grease the wheels...)

Team 343 will be hosting a blood drive at the Palmetto Regional on Saturday from 9am to 2pm. This is a benefit blood drive for one of our students, Jordan Hawkins. The blood mobile will be parked outside the coliseum for those interested in helping out. If you are 16 and would like to give, you can with parental permission. The consent form is attached. Hope to see lots of people from the CD community there.

A quick heads up if you are unloading pits/tools tomorrow morning. The Avenue of Champions will be one-way from East to West (same as before). The directions on the Palmetto site have people turning down Perimeter road. That's fine for parking, but for unloading trailers it would be best to turn a block earlier onto Centenial Blvd. and then right onto the Avenue of Champions. See you soon.

ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?!?!?

Well, team 1261 is. :P

We're settled into our rooms and full from the delicious barrel, and now we can't wait for tomorrow.

We'll be there in the wee hours of the morning in hopes of getting a good jump on the changes. I would REALLY like to run at least one practice match tomorrow, but all of that depends on how long our changes take. :P

WOOHOO! Hauling 1618's robot up the ramp and covering it with a trash bag for the run through the rain was a bit rough last year.

As for the webcast crowd, the webcast page has been updated to say it'll be running Friday and Saturday.
