Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

Bouncing off the walls regarding the start of build season. Myself and two of our other programmers will be evaluating new ones, and giving then their build season project.

Feverishly working to create a program to hack the encryption password.
I think I'll have it ready by Tuesday.

Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

I've been up all night looking at matches and robot reveals of past competitions and stalking CD like a madman expecting something new and interesting to pop up at 4 in the morning. It's now 6:40 AM at the time of this writing, and I have a 40 minute commute to UC Davis for a 9 AM Real Analysis class.

I think i'm gonna take a nap...

School until 2:30, then all weekend homework (which is going to take all night) so that I can do 48 hours of robotics starting tomorrow

Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

To do list for tomorrow:
- buy new toner for printer
- printer
- extra paper
- usb cables
- laptop charger
- projector (grab from storage unit)

There is no official kickoff event in Ottawa but we will be attending an unofficial event put on by the FIRST alumni group at Carleton University. We'll watch the webcast and begin brainstorming our strategy.

Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

Working, printing the roster from TIMS, FTC meeting, SeaPerch meeting, and then "sleeping". Tomorrow 2656 will attend the Kickoff event in Pittsburgh hosted by 2051. Afterward we'll read the rules, discuss strategy and then head home. I'll be checking out the Steelers/Bengals game at 8:00 and then preparing for Sunday's brainstorming session with 4150!

Doing my day job, while simultaneously monitoring CD. (That's the story I'm telling my boss, anyway.)

Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

I wish I could stick around for build season, but I'm going to school which will make it virtually impossible to help a team... And my parents don't like the whole "quit college and just build robots for 2 months out of the year" gig I've been telling them.

Re: The Final Countdown. The last day.

Also woke up Friday. Most happy that the Team Intellectual Property Dump is over.

It was very clever of all the teams to wait for the last 48 hours to put links or docs on CD. With the tidal wave there was no way to look at all of them. With Kickoff in 3 hours, there won't be time after today to look at them. So they all have been very clever hiding great ideas in plain sight.

/sigh.
