The powers of the HALLRY are many and some are still unknown, we all bow down to the being that is HALLRY and marvel in their FRC greatness. To do otherwise dooms us to a longer than 6 week build season and plagues us with video replays for the next 6 weeks after that.

All Hail the HALLRY!!

To MechEng83 post, it's pretty scary on how fast the posts occur. Sometimes I think "Have I seen Ryan and Frank together" and then I drop to my knees and chant "All Hail the HALLRY!!, All Hail the HALLRY!!" to ward off any bad karma.

Peace be with you.
All Hail the HALLRY!!

Just a quick note for schools with twitch blocked, at mine, our IT uses Barracuda and if you use a VPN you can get to the blocked sites around the filter.

That depends entirely upon the configuration at the site and others' mileage may vary. Some school IT admins have been known to block VPNs.

This is why FIRST is telling all of the sites to test out connectivity now. My suggestion is to work with the local IT admin guy (bring them chocolate) now instead of trying to circumvent them.

Even if they don't block them, please check your school's Acceptable Use Policy. Our school does everything they can to block them (hell, they block direct-ip connections), but that wouldn't stop me from setting up a domain name and a VPS. It still violates our school's AUP, however, and I could lose network privileges if I did.
