As noted above, a low-res, highly-compressed version of the kick-off animation is now available on the FIRST web site at
http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/. This is a 4-meg QuickTime file. It is pretty grainy, but if all you have is a dial-up line it will work.
There is a high-resolution, higher-quality (and thus larger - 55 meg) Quicktime version now available on the NASA Robotics Education Project
video archive. Note that this version has the full sound track, and has one minor change from the version shown at the kick-off that avoids any confusion about the scoring example (both versions show correct scoring - as clarified in
Team Update #1, but the later version avoids having to explain the details of the scoring system if you are showing it to a non-team audience).
Sorry for getting it posted a day later than promised, but we had to get the server links set up, and I didn't get it done in time yesterday.
