Google Hangout – FTC New Technology Demo

[Tom Eng]

Hi Folks,

I will be doing a Google Hangout on Air for any members of the FIRST community that were not able to attend the FTC New Tech Demo at Championship. This Hangout on Air will outline the new technology and give some insightful information into the new hardware and software that we will be using next year. The FTC New Technology Demonstration Hangout on Air will be at 6:00pm ET on Wednesday, May 20th.

I am presuming that you will share the URL of the resulting youtube video for later viewing?

Thank you.

Hi FTC7300

Yes, the Hangout will be recorded and available to the community for replay at a later date/time.

Getting ready for the session on the 20th, I just added the "Hangouts" app to my phone, but now I don't know how to link up to the "FTC New Technology Demonstration Hangout". A Hangout search leaves me empty handed. How does one link up?

Once we're given the link, clicking it will prompt you to choose an action, and you would pick to use the Hangouts app. Then, the hangouts app will open that hangout. (Different setups might skip prompting you and just go straight to the hangout)

Any chance we'll get a beta of the SDK along with the Hangout?

I know I sound like a broken record, but we don't need apps, we don't
need hardware, we just need a set of class files that we can poke
around in. And to know that a select number of teams already have
this per comments made in these forums. Well, that is giving those
teams, and those mentors a rather large advantage.

Why can't we get a copy of the APPS they were running in St Louis? They seemed to work fine, and they would give us something to play with to get familiar with the new platform.

I feel like having a copy of the SDK itself will be more helpful to seeing everything that is possible--not just what was attempted at Worlds or other beta events.
