Haha, finally a FIRSTcast that I can listen to! I'll be there.

[Chris is me]

I'll be sure to listen, it looks like an amazing group of speakers.

[Nate Smith]

I'm going to try and actually make it to this one...

Possibly with a few tricks up my sleeve as well...

[Karibou]

Excellent I'm definitely excited to hear this one. The chat is probably going to be totally flooded with questions, though...that'll be interesting.

[IndySam]

Come join us, now.

[Richard Wallace]

I got up at 4:15 am to get home just now from Manchester, so I missed most of the FIRSTcast. But Harley actually took notes She is an amazing FIRST student! (Or really needs a life...)

[Greg Needel]

Thanks all for coming tonight. I have some editing to do and I will try to get it up on our site and itunes as soon as I can. The next episode will be the week of the 24th.

Does anyone have links to videos of the soccer robots mentioned in the episode? I know one of them was said to have been built by Cornell but I can't seem to find videos of the specific one described.

dribbling mechanism (similar to the Cornell design I mentioned)

Thanks for the show. It's good to hear some of the discussion. I think the group is right to ignore the seeding discussion for now. Everyone should just attempt to win each game by as few points as possible. If that means scoring on yourself, then so be it. Just don't miscalculate, or you'll lose the match by a small margin.
