Hey, if I figure it out 5 minutes before the curtain falls, that'll be an advantage!

jcpenney's has been a HUGE help to many teams. Did you realize that every time you shop there, when they are not doing their pennies from heaven campaign, you can request to round your total up and donate? I discovered this about 6 months ago and every time I shop there I round it up, although most of the time I'm at a store that supports Big Brother, Big Sisters.

Well, THAT part of his speech is done finally, now a different segment on light-bulbs.

EDIT: Well those elf costumes explain the supposed Facebook 'elf hint.'

ChaosX73 07-01-2012 11:14

Re: 2012 Kickoff Discussion
 
Dean's speaking about things that, people back in the day never would have thought possible. Flying was impossible back then, so then I got to thinking that maybe the competition is about a new scientific advancement. If we have to build something that isn't thought possible at this moment, then we have the chance to advance it like the Wright brothers.

So I looked up "newest scientific advancements" on google: http://www.sciencedaily.com/

and one of the articles is creating temporal cloaks in time using light. Maybe we have to make time traveling robots? I skimmed the article and I'm not well versed in quantum physics, so I'm most definitely wrong in my assumptions.

Steven Donow 07-01-2012 11:14

Re: 2012 Kickoff Discussion
 
Apparently there was a corner of the field when Dean was talking about lightbulbs. Anyone catch it?

Grim Tuesday 07-01-2012 11:14

Re: 2012 Kickoff Discussion
 
Anyone else catch the FMS and field behind Dean? There are feeding slots! and three goals on each side.

I just bought energy efficient light bulbs for my bathroom. $13 for three of them. FIRST can't compete with those kind of prices.

With the provided SDK, it isnt too difficult. Ive seen some videos and the provided code is apparently very easy to put together a basic robot to run from your movements.

That's what I thought when they announced the kinect being in the kit. I really hope it's easier to use. But why is only 1 team?? haha

Probably just for the ease of it, such as the whole idea of having to block off part of the arena.

I'm pretty sure I heard "Diamond Bullet" or something like that. This is pretty cool, myself and a few others on my team were talking to Dave about a simulator we were making at SVR last year, and the possibility have having one in the kit.

Diamond Bullet Studios, LLC. was it, but I haven't been able to find it on google yet. They're probably not launching until after the broadcast.
