Archimedes Teams - a message from Team 296

[Pat Fairbank]

Hello to all Archimedes Teams,

Team 296 will be providing our "Sundial" service to all teams in the 2005 Archimedes division. For those of you who didn't see it last year (in Galileo) or who haven't heard about it yet this year, the service is basically a computerized, enhanced version of the match list printout that is distributed by FIRST – besides displaying the match numbers, times, and alliance and opposition teams for your team's matches, it counts down to your next match and shows the match's call status, all while synchronizing its clock with the playing field every ten seconds (see this page, this thread and this screenshot for more details).

If you'd like to try Sundial out, please bring a Wi-Fi capable computer and watch out for our handout containing the instructions on how to connect. We should have the system up by mid-morning Thursday.

Thanks.
