Since we had to make up so much time, we were moving. At one point, we were consistently running matches in the 5:30 range...and even that felt slow.

The rain has passed through Indy. Lets hope it over.

The forecast for Friday and Saturday are perfect. Sunny with highs in the low 80's.

It was an interesting flight from Austin. Flying into Dallas, we had to avoid a rough storm system and go up and around and down to get into Dallas. At times, the sky looked a funny green and somewhat purple in the distance. Turbulence was a big part of that ride.

Leaving Dallas for Indy - same thing, lots of turbulence. Both flights were on time and the flight crews were outstanding. It's good to be here!

I did feel bad for one young boy who couldn't decide if he needed his barf bag or not. His twin brother and his dad were great with letting him make that decision. I think he decided he just liked looking down inside the bag. They know all about the opportunities for college scholarships and the FIRST program now.

Had a really interesting unload today, then got in some good driving practice. Fixing some code issues tonight and we're probably set. Love being able to see so many great robots up close already.

(by the way stop by holiday inn express room 120 if you wanna play halo

)

I'm in NY right now =(

Any update on who was looking good today and who was pretty different from competitions season performance?

Chris is me · #**141** 30-07-2009, 21:44

1114 was practicing and looking as good as ever. Kind of shocking to be right up against them and then they shoot over your robot right into your trailer. Figured out how to "beat" that kinda. Other than that all I saw was 1771 and they were a little slower than before but I think that got fixed. 2753 was really good at dumping and their fan gave them a ton of power. That's about all I saw on the field today.

2194 now looks a lot like 1918 with a new gravity dumper. 47 obviously has a new robot, never saw it play.

I can sleep sound after relaxing in the hotel facilities, although I am sad I missed the load in.

Anyone in the Holiday Inn Express and hear about the Halo game being played? Anyone know which room it's in?

(I think I heard it being from the More Robotics people... any info is good)

Hey im in that room!
Its 2081 and we're room 216

lol come on over if u want

Chris is me · #**147** 31-07-2009, 00:14

Can't believe I missed other teams coming over. :/ I was working on a poster. Halo is still happening in 2081's room I think, if you're still interested. We'll probably do Halo 2 again after the DSK concert, 4 people rotating since we've got one TV.

I can't believe how fun IRI is before the event even started.

Anyone's welcome here at any time until an unreasonable amount of time post midnight of course.
