^ Shu will be the driver for one of two new prospective drive teams... they got a couple hours of practice last night. PARC should be an interesting experience for them... I'll be coaching one or both teams and not doing the main driver thing. Btw, Ashley, thanks a lot for collecting that data. I was too busy to look through it. But when our head scout scanned through Joe Johnson's data sheet, 639 was the highest %tile, followed by 222. I wonder where that's headed after PARC

[Pat Roche]

Guys unfortunately it will be my last competition on the driveteam and as a driver. Should be fun anyways though See you all down there.

I now must go! I need the vintage shirt!

And, of course, FIRST is always fun .

Even though I didn't go to regionals this year...

See everyone there tomorrow!

[Corey Balint]

Anybody up for a little prediction action??

Im thinking 303, 11, 222, and 365 have good shots at it. 303 did great at the 2 regs and just dint get picked at nats.
11-very strong robot, pushed us around actually,but we can still take em.
222 and 365 are solid all around and have shown that they can win in previous competitions,
176 was also amazing.

so it looks like its gonna be some wicked fun tomorrow.

Whatever happened to the PARC webcast someone from 222 mentioned a few days ago??? Will there be a webcast?

[edit] Dave answered the question on AIM: no webcast due to lack of resources. [/edit]

Darn... I'd love to see PARC on webcast. Good luck to all the teams up there attending!

[Charlie222]

Well -- Time time is now!!!

LEEEEEEEEEET'S GET READY TO RRRRRRRUUUUUUMMMMMMMMBBBBBLLLLLEEE!!!!!!!!!


(Is anybody out there interested in text updates?)
If so, I could probably make it happen.

[Cory]

Text updates would be cool.

Sorry, I couldn't get the webcast to work, But I did capture the entire event on my laptop.

I still have to seperate it into the matches. i.e. I captured it as three ~ 2-hour files. My best guess is the whole event takes up less than 1 DVDR Disk.

I would like to thank all the people that made this year's PARC possible.

[Astronouth7303]

That'd be cool: go to a web page with a one-way chat thing with streaming commentary. Way less bandwidth than a streaming video. a radio thing wouldn't be so bad, either
(mono audio is the eqiuvelent of a streaming 1x100 image)
