Those FIRST logos are being displayed on Boston's pixel curtains. They're the coolest things ever, and display animated graphics the entire time. Check out the webcast tomorrow to see them in action.

I work for colorkinetics, they are a really cool company, and mainlight also kicks some serious butt

Wow... I suddenly want to cover our robot in tri-color LEDs...

I really hope they have those LED curtain things in Atlanta... I'd love to see one up close and personal. So Cool!

You're not actually dropping. Our video encoding device is sometimes stopping pushing frames to the laptop, and we have to unplug and replug the RCA video jack going into it. The laptop, meanwhile, keeps on webcasting.

We're going to try some things at lunch, but don't want to break stuff while we don't have time to fix it between matches. Sorry for the inconvenience

Re: pic: 2008 FRC Boston Regional

So I have always wondered, why is it that regionals like this one get really cool lighting and such? I wish the ones I went to got even just the lighting from above. Is this a FIRST thing, or a event planing committee thing? Oh so cool.

I believe it is the planning committee, Boston benefits greatly from a fantastic planning committee and great sponsors.

I believe its the second time those lights have been at the regional and as far as I know they are specific only to Boston. One of the benefits of having an AMAZING REGIONAL PLANNING COMMITTEE, and so many cool generous companies close to Boston!!!

Also they are all LEDs with various colors. They are dynamic and can show many graphics as well as dynamic images.

If your in Boston stop by 125's pit. We have some tubes with the LEDs in them and you can check it out. You really can't get too close to the screen.
