2009 Chief Delphi Web Hug

[Brandon Martus]

It's that time again. Time for everybody to come face to face and get out from behind those monitors, keyboards, and thousands of miles of Internet.

What: 2009 Chief Delphi Web Hug
When: Thursday, April 16, 2009 12:00 Noon
Where: Courtyard between Hall C and the Dome. (map; the big orange/black 47)
Who: You have a forum account? You're invited.

Mike Martus (from Chief Delphi) will give a quick hello, let people meet & greet, share some statistics and hand out some goodies. It shouldn't take too long (15-20 minutes).

Just like the past few years, we will be having a raffle this year. It will work the same way as previous years. Starting tonight, we will be giving away 15 raffle tickets each hour. You may get one this coming week, and one next week, for a total of two chances to win. You'll see the link show up top above the spotlight -- it will show for 1 minute (the 47th minute of each hour). We'll be picking the winners before the webhug, to save some time, but you must be present to win and pick up your prize.

The ranges for getting your two raffle tickets are as follows:
4/1 - 4/7
4/8 - 4/14

This year, so far, we have the webhug t-shirts, a couple of the brand new HEXBUG Ant, a bunch of copies of Solidworks, some VEX stuff, and possibly more to come. I'll reply to this thread with updates.

People have mentioned that in the past they forgot about the webhug because Thursday is a very busy day. So, again like previous years, you can get a text message reminder. Go into your user cp, click Text Mesasge Reminders and set up your reminder.

If you don't know what the Web Hug is, and want to learn about previous years, see these links:

Awesome!
I just got my first ticket randomly as I looked at the top of the page & it just happened to be 6:47am as I was reading this thread. lol
Hopefully that brings me some good luck!

See everyone in Atlanta!

[Josh Goodman]

Woohoo! I'm pumped! Can't wait to see everyone! I will totally be there!

(PS the Rookie Meet and Greet is right after that in the same area, so people, come on over!)

I'll be there!!!

now to get that raffle ticket..........

[Brandon Martus]

A few noticed the ticket said 2008 and had the 2008 date on it -- the ticket is still valid, I just forgot to update that part of the code. You can always go back to here and see your tickets, and print them out again if you need to.

To what spotlight are you referring? Not sure what you are talking about here. I didn't see a link appear anywhere...

Any page.

Remember to look for it on real time, not just your computer time. My pc time is about either 2-3 minutes slow or fast as certain times.

The spotlight Brandon is referring to is the quote that is up at the top of the page. Those quotes are typically called, spotlights.

Above that is where more information appears. Right now it is showing the Michigan FIRST Robotics Competition Championship and the MN North Star Regional, etc. The link for the raffle ticket will appear on the 47th minute of the hour for one minute. Watch for it.

Got my first one! Can't wait to see everyone in GA...& hope to score a Hexbug Ant (although a t-shirt is also great!)
