I don't think it's too shocking, given the first hint.

Color me quite surprised (and happy) at the amount of vintage footage in the GP video. Not every day you get to see Tower Power getting played, eh?

Where are you at Stony Brook?
1751 is on the right by the exit, on the lower level.

Oh, and how do you have internet access?

You know you're addicted to FIRST when it influences your wedding cake design.

Zamg this is too awesome. I haven't slept in 18 hours, probably won't sleep for 16 more. =(

I wonder how many teams submitted an animation?
Congrats to 1726!

Our feeds all seem to be working. The wifi here is very flaky, but we're going to keep Twitter photos flowing via cell phones for sure.

Hope you're all enjoying our coverage!

FLR is gonna be crowded enough with 40 teams.
They better open up the far bleachers if they want more people to come.

Our main feed seems to be having hardware/connection problems, but a good five or so of us are watching via wireless provided by the college. Sad part is, it's actually 2-5 seconds ahead of the big screen.
