The one labeled DaVinci is FTC. FLL is on Einstein on Thursday and Friday I believe.

Since when are the seats red? It's about time they changed them to falcon colors.

It's pretty boring so far lol, but I wouldn't mind being there.

One of these years I will make it back, whether it be as a team member or volunteer.

Can't wait for the action to start tomorrow, even though it is only practice day.

Is the webcast even working right now? I can see they have the fields set up, but every time I try to open the link it just doesnt work.

I just pulled up Archimedes and it seems to be working fine. Not much to see though, just some people wandering around in the background, probably finishing setup stuff

I lost video from Galileo about 30 seconds into the first practice match, but still get audio). The other fields still seem fine.

Edit: came back about 10 minutes later.

And just in time, too. It came back JUST as my team's first practice was starting.

Ok, normally I don't share really off topic things, but I just had a major wow moment. Just for fun, I typed the address for the curie webcast into my HTC touch pro's windows media player url box...

Dude, its playing. Live. I can't believe science and engineering has come this far.

</wowmoment>

Not that I found. I just had my team text me our practice times.

I'm trying to watch the webcast on a Macbook, and I am having troubles watching it. It opens it in the Firefox window, but the display is pretty small and then at times it restarts itself and isn't live anymore.

Last year I was able to pic the "Real Media Player" option but they don't show that this year.

Any help would be REALLY appreciated!

Thanks!

Is anyone else frustrated by the score bar covering the bottom half of the field and not being nearly transparent enough? I'm watching Archimedes, and am questioning why they can't just tilt the camera down a bit, as there is a bunch of vertical room. Right now, the score bar is just kind of hovering, with extra space at the bottom of the screen not covered by it. I hope this is fixed by tomorrow.
