It’d be hard to believe any1 isnt excited… I mean… build season is like… a short trip into robotics heaven =P
See my signature for my amazing, incredible, sweet, really cool Kickoff countdown.
hey, I’m a PHP n00b…
We’re doing one in our new building for those of us who chose to stay behind and set up the field instead of going to the local kick-off. Nice big projector screen, and it doesn’t start until 10 here…
while i am part of the contingent that is going to the kickoff at VCU, the rest of my team is a 3 minute walk away back at school in a room watching it on a big projector. unfortunently, the school wont unblock streaming video for the weekend or let us use the massive satalite dish on the roof (which they havent touched in 3 years of the 5 the school has existed) so the team is forced to tap into the wireless from Virginia Union Univeristy! This means that you get a new grainy picture every 3 seconds during a very choppy audio stream projected onto a massive screen that makes it look worse. good thing you can download the game animation later!
Trust me, you’ll learn that trick when you hit college finals… Starbucks!
I can’t decide if I’m excited or not for build to start. So much fun, but so much time not spent studying! Oh well, easy classes this semester!
I’ve always suspected that one could find glimpses of wisdom, setting priorities, and responsibility - and ways to balance them, in the contents of a coffee cup. I think you’ve just proven my theory, Ms. Sweet.
You’ll catch the wave, not to worry.

you know I had an idea from my last mech physics class.
matter warps time yes,
time is warped more the closer you are to that object.
time is warped “slower” when you are near an object with mass(you get close to a black hole people will see you going slower while you see them going faster)
so if you lay down, as close as you can to the earth for the next week. you might just shave off a few nano secs off of your wait vs some one whose standing maybe more if your in a particularly dense area on the earth.
(ohh and dont say dig a hole cause newtons shell therom will just mess you up)
Six, actually. Count 'em: 7:00 AM start on kickoff (10:00 AM EST), and 12 midnight ship local. Easterners ship deadline is 9:00 PM our time. 3+3=6.
We have a countdown going for several events on our website…

(note that it counts down to the exact second that the event starts)
This is totally staying up on my desktop until kick-off. I was hoping I could stay sane for a few more days, but it seems I can’t keep the kick-off frenzy from taking over me.
5 days 40 minutes to go wOOt!!
I can’t seem to find the links for the countdowns.
Its right in the middle of the screen after you click the link 
If you look at the upper left center of this page - dimmed out are count downs for many events including the Kick-off. It has been there all year and will start over after it has happenned.
Right above the quotes.
looks like I have <5 days to stock up on energy drinks.
Speaking of energy drinks, I recall that a truckload of Red Bull vanished under mysterious circumstances right after the 2006 Championship. Was it ever found?
it’s only second period, and already my friends are sick of me saying ‘four days til KICKOFF!’
can you tell i’m psyched?
Only 4 MORE DAYS!..I can’t wait!
Most of my AP programming class is watching the countdown on my computer. I don’t know what I’ll do next period…
In general, people spend 1/3 of their lives asleep, so you would probably have to sleep at least half as long as you were planning on staying awake.
Three days left~
Can’t wait, I’ve been sleeping like 12 hours a day because I have nothing else to do -.-; Ah well. Guess I should finish my powerpoint for kickoff.
