I'm also getting the slightly frightening looking terror thing instead of the website.

Re: BASH at the Beach

Notified the url's owner of the situation. I suspect it happened because I mentioned the url in my first post, along with my signature with the words 'Tel Aviv'......it's sad that there are people who use this technology to just spread hate!

Another possibility as to the cause is if someone visited the site from an insecure AP in Israel (Jacob is in Israel) some group of hackers may have been monitoring network activity for sites they could hack.

Also it looks like just the index has been changed because if you look on Google's Cache of the site the links to other pages on the site work.

PS Jacob, if your reading this that wasn't meant to blame you, just saying public wifi, especially badly set up public wifi can be poisoned really easily

Re: BASH at the Beach

Is there an entrance fee for Bash this year? If so, could someone point me to where I could find more information about that, or shed some other light on the situation? Thanks in advance.

Re: BASH at the Beach

Beginning to get stoked about the Bash. Team meeting earlier tonight had newbies and veterans "marveling" at our pile of electrified aluminum. We discovered that somehow one of the connectors that powers a pneumatic solenoid is missing. No luck finding the little devil either. Might be "in the bag" wherever that plastic sack got stashed. So I'll be circulating a color wanted poster in the pits at BATB, with the plea to borrow one for the day. I'll attach a picture here in case there one of you dear readers can connect our solenoid for a day.

I also found out just how (un-)marvelous our team's communication is. We apparently owe thanks to R.A.G.E for the use of one of their "STOP" buttons at the Hartford regional. I'm now told that ours is not operational despite attempts to repair it. So there are two sources of horror here: bad comm disease AND a failing single point of failure that prevents the robot from starting at all. What?!?! We only have ONE of these? Now there would have been a good e-mail to write, right?

So we hobbled through checkout of the robot by wiggling the stop button cable at the point of entry into its case until the tiny green spot showed up. We got the robot to work, but we're going to need a reliable device for BATB.

So, I'll be cruising the pits with two pictures, in my quest to put our robot into contention. Thanks in advance for any help you can muster for us.

Re: BASH at the Beach

The Stop button, if not the solenoid, is unnecessary.
The Driver Station space bar is a much more robust and dependable method of stopping the robot in an emergency (or otherwise).

You can bypass the need for that silly plastic button by going to the Driver Station Diagnostics tab and double-clicking on the Stop Button entry text or light.
