Go to Post While at kickoff I asked Woodie if there were any concerns about missed shots at the center goal hitting the operators or the controls. He handed me a ball and told me to throw it at him as hard as I could... How many times does an opportunity like that come up? - Barry Bonzack [more]

Prepare yourselfs further

I believe that the modesty in my previous post was necessary to shield the general public from the truth. Without modesty, the post would have looked something like this:

Re: Prepare yourselfs

I am happy to report that the problem referenced in coldabert's signature has been resolved. Further investigation is required to figure out the cause of the problem, namely cables that unplug themselves, turn themselves around, and plug themselves back in. Or in Cole's case, themselfs.

Re: Prepare yourselfs

*YAWN*

Post a video if you've got a video. This "Prepare yourself" nonsense is so... Pro wrestling.

What am I supposed to be preparing? And even if I do reserve a conference room and order invitations for my closest friends, what date do I put on the invitations? And what resolution should I expect this video to be at? Long story short, I just don't see how anyone so inclined could possibly prepare themselves for such an obviously awesome video with such incredibly shoddy information.

Nonetheless, I'm doing the best I can. The edge of my seat is cleared off, and ready for my occupation. Popcorn is in the microwave, ready for the touch of a button. I've downloaded every video codec available. My phone is off the hook, and my monitor freshly waxed.

All this leaves just one question: where is my video, team 888? Where, oh where is my video?

edit: That's 500 posts for me. I hope that at least some of the other 499 were more worthwhile than this one.

Re: Prepare yourselfs

My question is, where is the video? Is this a new thing for CD, a Teaser of a Teaser maybe? Your building yourselves up alot, I hope that this video lives up to everything your making it out to be, I hope it proves itself worthy of a thread just devoted to getting people ready to see a video about it...


But my question is... How is this thread showcasing a robot? Why does it belong in the robot showcase forum?

Maybe you should wait in the future to post when you actualy have something to post about rather then posting warning people that your going to post.


In short: Lets see it already.

Calm down people, lets not cause a fuss

I wish to apologize for the terrible suspense you are all enduring. I've been unconscious for most of the weekend and I mistakingly assumed that Jeff Dewberry would be capable of a simple post. Since things have gotten so messed up, I have arranged for a pre-video to be posted. This one will lack the total-awesome-nality of the final video, but it should suffice for now.
