It will certainly be awesome. FRC 78, AIR Strike, is happy to make our competition debut at this great offseason event! For fans of Gael Force, try not to get confused.

WAIT!!! so there will be 126 and some team 78 126 wannabes.... great.

rtfgnow: Last year there was a webcast (a webcam in the corner of the field) but several of our team members watched and it was good enough to see the matches. It would be nice to have one this year, but nothing is on the website about it. PM jessica and ask her about it.

36 hours and counting till like the best Halloween party ever!!!!

so what's everyone wearing?

mines a little obscure, so i will have a prize for the first person who correctly identifies my character,

and our drive team has a fun theme this year

Currently nothing (I'm going as a FIRSTer

)

But i was thinking about dying my hair blue and wearing my hawaiian shirt from Bash at the Beach (i think i will just cuz) just wear something besides team shirt. But the stuff i was going to use my friend had used and couldn't get it out for a couple days after showering a lot so... if I don't get it out by Sunday morning, my mother will kill me so I decided not to risk it and not dye my hair.

Any hints Dan?

My character is from a movie and is named for his profession, movie takes place in the future, his profession exists now but in a very different way

After reading Bill's Blog, I was interested in knowing which teams are planning on running their robot using Java at River Rage.

And you know, we would have loved to have come to River Rage with our robot. But it wasn't destined for this year. But maybe at least some of us can come, enjoy the game and ask some questions about programming in Java.

Thanks!

It was great to visit with friends at River Rage today. There were many interesting things to see and talk about today. I believe a few teams were running their robots on JAVA tests. The 2010 Driver's Station netbooks made a few test runs in the Mentor matches during the lunch break. It was also a chance to look at the prototype Delta playing field mentioned in Bill's Blog this week.

I didn't get a chance to talk to the teams running JAVA, but since the robots were always running I expect there weren't any major issues. Hopefully, someone can give us some feedback.

The DS netbooks got a shake down test too. They seemed to run without any major problems. Again any mentors wish to comment on their test match experience.

I was pretty inspired by the Delta field. It would be easy for any team to build a DS and/or HP area so their driver team could practice within a realistic environment. The only issues I heard from the field crew was the load in/out gate sticking and having pinch points, and a comment that someone thought a few 3/16" pop rivets might have failed from robot impacts. I couldn't confirm that, but the field did have a few impressive robot impacts and it seemed to weather the storm.

My pictures should be up soon.

Congrats to all the teams and volunteers on a great event. Awesome costumes, and a lot of fun.

The new field looks pretty cool (great pics!).

What robot did 78 use? A new one or 121's?
