I love the modesty.

[coldabert]

I believe that the modesty in my previous post was necessary to shield the general public from the truth. Without modesty, the post would have looked something like this:


(Holy Grail-style) RUNAWAY! RUNAWAY!

I am happy to report that the problem referenced in coldabert's signature has been resolved. Further investigation is required to figure out the cause of the problem, namely cables that unplug themselves, turn themselves around, and plug themselves back in. Or in Cole's case, themselfs.

*YAWN*

Post a video if you've got a video. This "Prepare yourself" nonsense is so... Pro wrestling.

What am I supposed to be preparing? And even if I do reserve a conference room and order invitations for my closest friends, what date do I put on the invitations? And what resolution should I expect this video to be at? Long story short, I just don't see how anyone so inclined could possibly prepare themselves for such an obviously awesome video with such incredibly shoddy information.

Nonetheless, I'm doing the best I can. The edge of my seat is cleared off, and ready for my occupation. Popcorn is in the microwave, ready for the touch of a button. I've downloaded every video codec available. My phone is off the hook, and my monitor freshly waxed.

All this leaves just one question: where is my video, team 888? Where, oh where is my video?

edit: That's 500 posts for me. I hope that at least some of the other 499 were more worthwhile than this one.

Did anyone on my team give you permission to say this? I think not.

Last time I checked we WERE the keepers of The Holy Grail in FIRST...

I wish to apologize for the terrible suspense you are all enduring. I've been unconscious for most of the weekend and I mistakingly assumed that Jeff Dewberry would be capable of a simple post. Since things have gotten so messed up, I have arranged for a pre-video to be posted. This one will lack the total-awesome-nality of the final video, but it should suffice for now.

Is the video being stored in Al Capone's vault?

Actually Geraldo built it himself this time. If you want something done right...

I have been looking at this thread since yesterday. I don't know what to say the team members of team 888. The way you guys wording your approach in this thread, it sounds like you guys have done something that no one has never done it, and you guys will win the championship or something. Why don't you post a video of it already so us cd members see what is so special about your video?

[Jessica Boucher]

I for one am excited.

Some people may call it showboating, but what can you do in a competition of this size? Not every team can instantly post a picture and expect oohs and ahhs, sometimes it takes a little more. There are dozens of people and teams I would criticize for self promotion (myself included) before a team that's proud of what they accomplished and is just trying to get noticed in the flurry of activity that is build season.

That said, Arefin is right....I'm expecting to be amazed. Realize that with this utilization of promotion that you are building up something huge, and if you don't deliver, you are shooting yourself in the foot for the next time that you decide to build up buzz, because you will hit diminished returns.

Don't apologize, just deliver. Show it off already!

Day 2 of Reading this Thread:

No video yet? >.< Meh, how long will we have to wait. I for one think that you should've post this thread when you were ready to actually post the video lol. Its like me posting a thread about pictures I'll post once my robot is done being built, and like 6 weeks later I got nothing because once we finished we had to send the robot away. Dont post something like a video/picture unless you actually have the goods to post there and than :S

At least Ms. Jessica has gotten into the spirit of things. Right now, I'm pretty much stalling until I can get back to my team and start knocking some heads together. I can't make any promises now. All I can say is, if I have in some way pained you, meet me at the CNN building at nationals and I'll buy you a 4-piece, no, a 6-piece chicken strip meal. Because I'm just that nice of a guy.

But I must ask one question:
Is this not the most interesting thread in this section of the forum?
