machines
Yeah our machines are about 3 years old but were purchased by our team... there isn't much dust... but on tuesday i got so pissed at one of our machines (nickname: Screamer... yeah it doesn't "scream" athalon xp 1600, 512mb ddr2100) it shut down right as we were about to save our scene and corrupted the max file we were working on, for some reason. Anyway... we all pretty much chucked the box to the floor, kicked it a couple of times and then took out most of the parts from the inside and then put them back... and voila! no problems since.... hmmmm nothing works quite as well as a little percussive maintenence...
and yeah David i dunno about the targa idea as of now... we've already made many high quality ... 1280 x 720 avi's that we're gonna put into final cut pro 3 and letterbox it up... and eventually output the animation at 640 x 480... YAY hi-quality letterboxed widescreen for the new age of TV's!!
Its kinda funny because our animation was supposed to be done rendering on thursday but we had to wait 28 hours to render 6 seconds.... ouch.... oh well the animation team is farther than the the actual rest of the robotics team... our robot isnt even moving yet...I am scared because the robot build and test is soooo far behind.... the robot only moves on our computer screen....

who needs a robot when you have a cool animation instead....
I'm Serious about the controls thing too....
