Regarding PlanetFest, Team 696 will be doing a demo too.

Team 696 has an awesome robot; they will represent FRC very well. Team 980 offered to do a demo at Planetfest, but we didn't hear back.

Of course, this event is really about witnessing history being made in space exploration.

It's very cool that some of the people who work on MSL are (or have been) involved in FRC.

Thanks for the tip!

Less than two hours to go!

[BigJ]

I just saw Dave at his station

EDIT: If you want to stalk Dave here is the direct mission control feed stream. http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/media_flash.html

Should we be worried that Dave Lavery helped design this thing? I mean, what if it starts spewing game hints? Or eating Krispy Kreme during descent? This could be disastrous!

[Barry Bonzack]

I'm up and watching. Go NASA team!


I have officially now watched more video of the Curiosity landing than I have spent in the past month watching TV, reading the news, or watching the Olympics.

I was pleasantly surprised that Will.i.am just made an appearance on NASA TV to talk about FIRST and STEM.

I'm thinking of hanging a 3D-printed model from my quadrotor.
