CMU Buggy Alumni Association
alex keene10:13:45 17/04/2009haha, yeah, that would look insane
DanB10:14:58 17/04/2009i keep waiting for some organization to ditch the whole capsule design in favor of a more open, better suspended design
DanB10:15:06 17/04/2009(or is suspension illegal?)
DanB10:15:33 17/04/2009(a moment of silence for the death of the two-wheeled buggy)
alex keene10:16:00 17/04/2009suspension is legal... but the shell has to remain closed
Christian J10:16:08 17/04/2009Suspension isn't illegal... just lots of lost energy.
alex keene10:16:31 17/04/2009and def no 2 wheel'd buggy
alex keene10:16:45 17/04/2009though 4, 5, 6 all legit
DanB10:16:46 17/04/2009but suspension would mitigate some of the problems caused by lousy pavement
TommyK10:17:07 17/04/2009get that rubber!
ME99buddy10:17:11 17/04/2009'
ME99buddy10:17:12 17/04/2009
ME99buddy10:17:13 17/04/2009
DanB10:17:19 17/04/2009yeah, I just remember the brief appearance of the two-wheeled buggy.
alex keene10:17:27 17/04/2009wow... this is an impressive time for sigep
alex keene10:17:30 17/04/20092.10
alex keene10:17:31 17/04/2009easy
TommyK10:17:38 17/04/2009go sig ep!
alex keene10:17:47 17/04/2009nice
alex keene10:17:54 17/04/2009yeah, grats to sigep
splayer10:18:01 17/04/2009nice
DanB10:18:15 17/04/2009what a great day for racing so far
alex keene10:19:31 17/04/2009hells yeah
alex keene10:19:36 17/04/2009if only i was actually THERE
TommyK10:20:55 17/04/2009Brazen ... the last non-Pika buggy to win Men's
Christian J10:20:57 17/04/2009You 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. :-)
hendrix10:21:04 17/04/2009ME99buddy quit (timeout)
DanB10:22:07 17/04/2009But if you shoot w/ lower quality gear, the DVD (and any other archived footage) looks like crap.
DanB10:22:53 17/04/2009granted, 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 Kush10:23:53 17/04/2009In 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
DanB10:24:11 17/04/2009wow, i've never seen a buggy menace the crowd before
alex keene10:24:25 17/04/2009yeah, this is going to be a crazy heat
alex keene10:24:31 17/04/2009that chute is gonna be CRAZY
DanB10:24:45 17/04/2009yeah, you need to go with (at least) some basic ENG gear
alex keene10:24:59 17/04/2009woah.. nice driving for signu there
alex keene10:25:04 17/04/2009did not expect them to make it
Christian J10:27:29 17/04/2009Man these WRCT guys are sooooo bad.
DanB10:27:57 17/04/2009i was actually just thinking that this was a pretty good year for WRCT commentators
DanB10:28:24 17/04/2009in defense, it's really hard to talk for 3+ hours without sounding like a dork
Christian J10:28:29 17/04/2009The 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 keene10:28:30 17/04/2009yeah.. compared to usual, this is really good
alex keene10:28:50 17/04/2009he didnt say aero was the problem... did he?
dude10:29:17 17/04/2009wil quit (timeout)
Christian J10:29:18 17/04/2009Really 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
jpolega10:29:21 17/04/2009i didn't take it that way, he just mentioned the aerodynamic angle...which is probably more important in the freeroll
Christian J10:29:39 17/04/2009 :-)
DanB10:30:37 17/04/2009i love that they're presently having a discussion about buggy rules and design
TommyK10:30:45 17/04/2009Zoo is looking to find every way to get DQd
muenzer10:31:03 17/04/2009dude quit (timeout)
alex keene10:31:05 17/04/2009if 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
DanB10:31:32 17/04/2009speaking from past experience, it's really hard to find commentators with historical knowledge
DanB10:31:53 17/04/2009muenzer quit (timeout)
Christian J10:31:56 17/04/2009Nice tie!
DanB10:32:07 17/04/2009CIA's push team is the funniest thing I've seen in a while
alex keene10:32:16 17/04/2009BIKE!
DanB10:32:21 17/04/2009and who the hell let a bike on the course?
alex keene10:32:21 17/04/2009WHERE THE **** ARE THE POLICE!?!?!?!?!
jpolega10:32:25 17/04/2009andy should have that knowledge, though
Stratis10:32:35 17/04/2009where'd the time overlay go?
alex keene10:32:36 17/04/2009wow.. problem child sounds like crap
Christian J10:32:46 17/04/2009What happened to the time display on the feed?
Christian J10:32:58 17/04/2009Whoa!
Christian J10:33:02 17/04/2009Hot crap!
