alex keene | 10:13:45 17/04/2009 | haha, yeah, that would look insane
|
DanB | 10:14:58 17/04/2009 | i keep waiting for some organization to ditch the whole capsule design in favor of a more open, better suspended design
|
DanB | 10:15:06 17/04/2009 | (or is suspension illegal?)
|
DanB | 10:15:33 17/04/2009 | (a moment of silence for the death of the two-wheeled buggy)
|
alex keene | 10:16:00 17/04/2009 | suspension is legal... but the shell has to remain closed
|
Christian J | 10:16:08 17/04/2009 | Suspension isn't illegal... just lots of lost energy.
|
alex keene | 10:16:31 17/04/2009 | and def no 2 wheel'd buggy
|
alex keene | 10:16:45 17/04/2009 | though 4, 5, 6 all legit
|
DanB | 10:16:46 17/04/2009 | but suspension would mitigate some of the problems caused by lousy pavement
|
TommyK | 10:17:07 17/04/2009 | get that rubber!

DanB | 10:17:19 17/04/2009 | yeah, I just remember the brief appearance of the two-wheeled buggy.
|
alex keene | 10:17:27 17/04/2009 | wow... this is an impressive time for sigep
|
alex keene | 10:17:30 17/04/2009 | 2.10
|
alex keene | 10:17:31 17/04/2009 | easy
|
TommyK | 10:17:38 17/04/2009 | go sig ep!
|
alex keene | 10:17:47 17/04/2009 | nice
|
alex keene | 10:17:54 17/04/2009 | yeah, grats to sigep
|
splayer | 10:18:01 17/04/2009 | nice
|
DanB | 10:18:15 17/04/2009 | what a great day for racing so far
|
alex keene | 10:19:31 17/04/2009 | hells yeah
|
alex keene | 10:19:36 17/04/2009 | if only i was actually THERE
|
TommyK | 10:20:55 17/04/2009 | Brazen ... the last non-Pika buggy to win Men's
|
Christian J | 10:20:57 17/04/2009 | You know... it occurs to me that since so many are watching the CMU TV feed over the net... having ridonculously expensive cameras does less than zero for us. And I've GOT to think CMU has got basic video streaming capabilities on campus. :-)

hendrix | 10:21:04 17/04/2009 | ME99buddy quit (timeout)
|
DanB | 10:22:07 17/04/2009 | But if you shoot w/ lower quality gear, the DVD (and any other archived footage) looks like crap.
|
DanB | 10:22:53 17/04/2009 | granted, there's a huge range of camera expense -- you don't want to use consumer camcorders, but you also probably don't need a rack of REDs either
|
Jon Kush | 10:23:53 17/04/2009 | In order to connect all of the cameras to the truck, we have to use cameras with multiple video out as well as audio out so we can talk to the camera operators
|
DanB | 10:24:11 17/04/2009 | wow, i've never seen a buggy menace the crowd before
|
alex keene | 10:24:25 17/04/2009 | yeah, this is going to be a crazy heat
|
alex keene | 10:24:31 17/04/2009 | that chute is gonna be CRAZY
|
DanB | 10:24:45 17/04/2009 | yeah, you need to go with (at least) some basic ENG gear
|
alex keene | 10:24:59 17/04/2009 | woah.. nice driving for signu there
|
alex keene | 10:25:04 17/04/2009 | did not expect them to make it
|
Christian J | 10:27:29 17/04/2009 | Man these WRCT guys are sooooo bad.
|
DanB | 10:27:57 17/04/2009 | i was actually just thinking that this was a pretty good year for WRCT commentators
|
DanB | 10:28:24 17/04/2009 | in defense, it's really hard to talk for 3+ hours without sounding like a dork
|
Christian J | 10:28:29 17/04/2009 | The problem is that this year they *sound* credible... but so much of what they're saying is just crap... like aerodynamics being the reason for squirelly lines while being pushed?!
|
alex keene | 10:28:30 17/04/2009 | yeah.. compared to usual, this is really good
|
alex keene | 10:28:50 17/04/2009 | he didnt say aero was the problem... did he?
|
dude | 10:29:17 17/04/2009 | wil quit (timeout)
|
Christian J | 10:29:18 17/04/2009 | Really good was the year that Tom Kelleher did the broadcast with Sam Swift... THAT was at least technically accurate AND informative. Maybe I'm biased though. :-P
|
jpolega | 10:29:21 17/04/2009 | i didn't take it that way, he just mentioned the aerodynamic angle...which is probably more important in the freeroll
|
Christian J | 10:29:39 17/04/2009 | :-)
|
DanB | 10:30:37 17/04/2009 | i love that they're presently having a discussion about buggy rules and design
|
TommyK | 10:30:45 17/04/2009 | Zoo is looking to find every way to get DQd
|
muenzer | 10:31:03 17/04/2009 | dude quit (timeout)
|
alex keene | 10:31:05 17/04/2009 | if nothing else i'm glad they are dealing with buggy distances based on times (and not ridic sounding ones), instead of the "30 feet apart" when it is clearly nothing close
|
DanB | 10:31:32 17/04/2009 | speaking from past experience, it's really hard to find commentators with historical knowledge
|
DanB | 10:31:53 17/04/2009 | muenzer quit (timeout)
|
Christian J | 10:31:56 17/04/2009 | Nice tie!
|
DanB | 10:32:07 17/04/2009 | CIA's push team is the funniest thing I've seen in a while
|
alex keene | 10:32:16 17/04/2009 | BIKE!
|
DanB | 10:32:21 17/04/2009 | and who the hell let a bike on the course?
|
alex keene | 10:32:21 17/04/2009 | WHERE THE **** ARE THE POLICE!?!?!?!?!
|
jpolega | 10:32:25 17/04/2009 | andy should have that knowledge, though
|
Stratis | 10:32:35 17/04/2009 | where'd the time overlay go?
|
alex keene | 10:32:36 17/04/2009 | wow.. problem child sounds like crap
|
Christian J | 10:32:46 17/04/2009 | What happened to the time display on the feed?
|
Christian J | 10:32:58 17/04/2009 | Whoa!
|
Christian J | 10:33:02 17/04/2009 | Hot crap!
|

|
DanB | 10:34:24 17/04/2009 | isn't this standard Beta buggy, though? strong push team, crap buggy?
|
TommyK | 10:34:41 17/04/2009 | they find new ways to suck each year
|
TommyK | 10:34:55 17/04/2009 | sounded like they had a baseball card in the spkes
|
alex keene | 10:35:06 17/04/2009 | yeah, it sounds crap-pay
|
TommyK | 10:35:14 17/04/2009 | in 2006 they got to the chte and strated sliding
|
DanB | 10:35:35 17/04/2009 | i want some team to put a speaker in their buggy playing race car sounds
|
