Re: Kickoff 2009 Discussion

Does anyone know what the actual polymer is? A cursory search of regolith didn't bring any polymer up.

Dude, I like your why of thinking!

As for the people complaining about all the speeches ect... yeah its gets to be a drag. But these are the people that make it all happen so chill.
Someday you'll want people to listen to what you think is important.

Re: Kickoff 2009 Discussion

Once anyone knows about a downloadable video of the contest, please post it here! (We're flying blind, but regolith is a cool word, and the field looks cool thanks to the unlocked docs!)

Re: Kickoff 2009 Discussion

Just go to youtube and search lunacy... It'll come up. I also donloaded the video off of the NASA website, but the picture quality is poor.. I would suggest you just go through youtube unless you want to save the video for offline use.

Re: Kickoff 2009 Discussion

Was there a signoff? I went to a supplementary, time-delayed kickoff event, and they seemed to have cut off the end of the video.

I missed the first 1/2 hour of the kickoff, and i wanted to see the intro video (since they filmed my team for it..). NASA hasn't put it up yet, but i was wondering if anyone downloaded it and would be willing to upload it to youtube or something? Thanks!

Re: Kickoff 2009 Discussion

First year rookie for 1189 Gearheads here, and I can already feel robotics pumpin through my veins after kickoff! But i've got one question...
I've received no and yes answers, so I need some clarification on this...
Will or will there not be a 2009 animation contest? (not safety, that's over)
Thanks guys!

A simple yes or no would suffice. =/
