Anyone who goes to RIT out there with a sling box? Or a capture card to take the feed and put it on ustream.tv ?
Is there wireless internet in the venue?
yes, but i believe it is only accessible by RIT faculty and students. RIT requires that the computer be registered, and all this other stuff. So, if you can find an RIT student or staff with a laptop, you’ll be all set!
Whats happening at FLR? I am very interesting to hear how things are running!
At GVSU for WMR, IT sets up a user name for the robotics people, I guess that RIT isn’t catering to the robot crowd in that respect, then?
Not that I know of…?
Does anyone have a match list for friday and saturday they could upload?
Today 1405 had:
3 complete “fall-aparts” during practice rounds
2 fires :ahh: (1 during a practice round that everyone oohed and awwed at… hahaha)
5 laps/round (when working semi-correctly)
1 tread fall off our IFI traction wheel (it was riveted on great, I think the alum. plates by the lane divider helped rip it off)
With regards to the robot, Thursday basically sucked for us. Here’s to hoping Friday and Saturday will be better 
Here are the three pages of the match list.
I photo’d them earlier but page two came out blurry, sorry :-/
They are large pics so I’m linking them instead of posting them.
(We also labeled 578’s matches in them 
)

All but 3 robots with complete inspection with only minor issues on the last 3. Looks to be a good regional with the teams that are here.
As for those that want to know about the outcome of the Laser Quest challenge I have the report in. We were only able to get one match in before the place closed. The Rochester players would not divulge any of the maze before we started. Even though it was announced a lot of times the Rochester people hid in there homes while only a few brave souls dared to meet the challenge. It was almost a hard fought match with one old guy. Some of the quotes:
Well I guess that says it all. One old man vs Rochester. Poor Rochester, they are all weeping now. Please feel free to comfort them tomorrow as they all went down in defeat. Poor Koko Ed who came in lower than Twinkletoes and even a rookie that had not played before.
It was a fun night and I felt really really good, yet humble (well maybe not) at winning the challenge.
We had fun on practice day, Broke a Wheel, replaced and it only took…2 hours.
But over all we had fun. 
I got to talk to JVN & Amanda Morrison
But you never shot me, Steve.
I got shot by Alex, Liz and even Duckie but not you.
It’s hard to hit someone covering there targets.
I was not covering all of my targets!
My hand was just resting on top of the chest target and I have large hands.:rolleyes:
is Steve really that good :P, I say laser quest challenge at GTR or Waterloo
anyways good luck to all teams at FLR
Good luck to everyone … I can’t wait to see how teams innovated this year!
well this issue is that RIT is on spring break now and since most everyone who works at ITS is a student there is nobody there to even think about doing this. I know the Regional Committee members are reading this thread so maybe they will think about it for next year.
I want to wish everyone luck! I am here right now, it is so weird to be back… but I miss it!!! Good luck and have fun guys!
you just had to announce it to everyone didn’t you. So every time Alex and I go up, are you just going to keep bugging us about it? You really looked out of breath when the game was over, maybe you might want to retire while you are still ahead.
