As noted above, a low-res, highly-compressed version of the kick-off animation is now available on the FIRST web site at http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/. This is a 4-meg QuickTime file. It is pretty grainy, but if all you have is a dial-up line it will work.

There is a high-resolution, higher-quality (and thus larger - 55 meg) Quicktime version now available on the NASA Robotics Education Project video archive. Note that this version has the full sound track, and has one minor change from the version shown at the kick-off that avoids any confusion about the scoring example (both versions show correct scoring - as clarified in Team Update #1, but the later version avoids having to explain the details of the scoring system if you are showing it to a non-team audience).

Sorry for getting it posted a day later than promised, but we had to get the server links set up, and I didn't get it done in time yesterday.

Y = AX^2 + B.... ehhh, whatever

Thanks, that animation is great (by far the most useful clip from kickoff)!

I wont bother pointing out that the robot with the extending legs would probably fall over on the ramp incline

Just so I'm clear - the minor change was that the large blue robot places that last bin right-side up rather than upside down this time?
