Certainly! One of the awesome things about Shakedown is that we have a lot of people from the surrounding area who stop by, even if their teams aren't in attendance. We've even got a few special guests slated to show up from the state capitol.

See you guys Saturday!

Ok. Thank you for doing so.

FRC2168 is looking forward to the event again this year.

Good luck to everyone during the final push trying to finish their robots in time for the event.

Sounds like a plan! I'm excited to see first hand how the game will actually play out with six robots on the field.

How's AlFal doing this last week?

I'd like to see what you guys have up your sleeves..

Is there a link to where Shakedown will be webcasted?

[AcesJames]

I believe the webcast will be hosted at Team 230's website, here. http://shsrobotics.org/webcasts

I will check tonight and update this post if that isn't correct.

[O'Sancheski]

The field has been set up. See you all tomorrow morning.

[Drivencrazy]

Thank goodness it's being webcasted. Now I have a "legitimate" excuse to postpone studying for my finals. Good luck to all the teams participating. Can't wait to see how it pans out.

P.S. Yea I said finals. (We're on a trimesterish schedule)

[jblay]

Does anyone have the link for the webcast. I can't find anything on 230's site. Is the event being streamed?

[jblay]

I just found the stream. Here it is for anyone wondering: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/first-robotics-team230

Looks like the ramps used to keep balls from under the bridges don't work that well....

FIRST might need some iteration...

[blakeelias]

Why are we watching the Kinect station for the whole match??

[Koko Ed]

I hope the camerawork improves greatly when they start doing actual matches.
Staring at the sidelines for a whole match is not really all that interesting.

[Drivencrazy]

Yeah Koko Ed. I was a bit frustrated but hopefully once the real matches start they'll show more of the action.

The camera man needs to know what to look for. I wanna see a bridge balancer, barrier crossing and the other biggies.

FTC qualifier I pulled the camera man aside and told him what to look for. Somebody needs to tell him these things while they're trouble shooting issues.

Thus far, I think we're in for low scoring matches.
