I know the feeling. Do what you guys can, but I think whatever you guys come out with will be something useful to teams. Figure out some strategy in real time against other humans.

[random thought]

Any plans on doing a multiplayer over the internet? That would be pretty neat , and allow for some "research" on strategy/fun without lugging over a few computers. Just something else to add to a probably already long list of "to-do's".

I'll try to get the result into the simulator.

A friend of mine asked for a FBX model of some models I made in Inventor, and the only way I could figure out how is to download this Inventor Studio or something of that sort (for like creating nice-pretty display pictures). I'll have to do some more research on it now that this opportunity is open. I'd be pretty neat. If not, I'll learn something new.

Thanks for the messages!

Any chance of a 5th gear booth at CT? I'm assuming it will be at the Championship again.

Multiplayer over the internet is something I've been playing with using stuff like LogMeIn Hamachi. I don't know much about networking, but I've used it to play Pokemon cards over the internet, so it could work with 5th Gear's LAN features too. Someone bored with free time should PM me :)

I might play with Inventor to make a robot model but I probably wouldn't make one particularly good anyway.

Then yours would look right at home next to my current three (that will be in the download).

Autodesk licenses a very long list of tools to students at no cost - Do some digging and I'm guessing you will find what you need. If I get a chance to look I'll investigate. [Edit] Try looking here http://students.autodesk.com/ [/Edit]

The Autodesk FBX Converter here To/From FBX Converter might do the trick - I think it is the one I am using to convert my Collada files to FBXs - Look about 2/3rds of the way down the web page.

Assuming the CT Regional Director gave a thumbs up, CT is one of the locatioins where we would be delighted to guide a team or two through the process of creating and staffing an exhibit - Any chance of someone biting on that hook?

See the second half of Post #10 below.

5th Gear's Breakaway is available for download!

Thanks WPI for supplying the download server again!

Thanks Lockheed Martin for your continued sponsorship!

Thanks FIRST for your continued support!

Thanks Team 1986 (Team Titanium) for the field model!

I suggest updating each of these before installing the actual 5th Gear executable.
Your Microsoft DirectX (DirectX 9.27.1734 non-Web Installation)
Your Microsoft .Net (.Net 3.5)
Your Nvidia PhysX (PhysX 9.09.1112)

Report any problems here (Thanks FIRST): FIRST 5th Gear FORUM

Suggest improvements, discuss uses, brag about high scores, post pictures or links to videos, etc. in the FIRST 5th Gear forum (above) or here on CD.

The core CD thread is here: 2010 5th Gear CD thread

Download 5th Gear from this page in WPI's Think Tank site: 5th Gear download site

Enjoy,
Blake

Well... If you REALLY want them both... Couldn't you split your computer into 2 partitions, install windows on both, then install one version on one, and the other version on the other.

Now that is all in theory. I am not sure it it would work...

Yes, but restarting to play 5th Gear takes about as much time as an uninstall.
