Re: whats up with the demo program...?
Folks,
We are glad you are excited! - So are we (and just a bit panicked!  )
Take a look here: Link to recent 5th Gear discussion
and here: 5th Gear discussion with links to other FRC simulation threads I have been pointing all interested folks to these two threads so that we can limit the number of parallel conversations
Blake
PS: I'm working on the AI. Think more in terms of a Chevy than a Masaratti, if you know what I mean - The initial release will have some basic run-around-in-a-pattern sort of mostly passive activities, and I'll crank up the competition they give you in a software update or two (notice the mention of a dose of panic above ). This year they are mostly intended to fill in for missing humans (simulation users, not the real-word game's Payload Specialist human players). Your true opponents in a simulated match will be your friends sitting at the other PCs on your LAN.
