Student on team #192, Gunn Robotics Team, from Henry M. Gunn Senior High School.

Ever since the Rambot chat room was so successful last year, I have been waiting for another chat room to be just as successful and popular this year.

I am sure there are many chat room out there, but I just want everyone to choose a few major ones that everyone will be going in to talk about the competition. This is especially important during Live broadcast of some regional competition, where people can chat online about the game (and music too for those of you who remember me asking about it).

So, how about it? I just want to make sure we don’t spread out too much that there will only be a few people in a room at a time… That’s all. Let’s pick them and stick with them.

Tigerbolt has a chat script up and running, I just haven’t had the time to set up scheduled chats, but was planning to. Check it out - any comments would be appreciated, and any changes I’d be more than willing to make if possible.

Everyone could still use the RAMBOTS Chat if they wish. Since this year’s competition have started, Most fellow RAMBOTS have forgotten about it and Anton was busy trying to get the team together and getting sponsors.

although yes the rambots chat was a success, i could not spend time this year on maintaining it (one of the reasons other than i need a computer to host it on).

if someone wants to do it, it’s not a new idea that we started. people are free to have their own.

the only different thing about the rambots chat is i attempted to make it universal and succeeded. but as soon as i lost my linux box, i had no replacement. :frowning:

gimme a linux box (a cheap p100 computer will do) and i will put up a 24 hour chat, website, email, etc for everyone…for free!!)
